Mast and Allick are combined 0-8 on 2-PT FGs even though Illinois mostly playing then 1v1. 

Jo and Mast have both missed 1 that absolutely should have been in that I can remember.  Both just rushed it.

[cipsucks]

Okay, if Illinois has any nuts, which I'm sure they do, they'll come out with a big time intensity to start the second half.  Let's see how it goes.

Nice to see the refs being consistent.   Consistently bad.  How do you allow the Illinois guy to tackle Gary.

 

On a walk and shove. they get 2! terrible officiating.

 

Not, But Homers!!!

Blind of Travels, fouls and push-offs by Ill.

Second half from Wisconsin game and first half today we are forcing other teams to play like us and are trying to stop what we want to do.

Make other teams play our style of game rather than the other way around.  So far we are the bad match up for Illinois.

Perhaps calls will now start evening out.

Well, kind of a crappy end to the half; but hey, we're up by two!

[HuskerBB]

Hawkins with another obvious travel.   Why can't they call that?

[Huskerpapa]

Gave up four straight lay ups

[HuskerFever]

If Doc, Miles, or Hoiberg's teams consistently shot as confident on the road as this team is right now, we'd have some much better teams who could show up in late March.

[cipsucks]

Illinois is scoring. They are up 7.  Can't get behind by more than 10.  Let's get a bucket!

Just got to keep it together if / when Illinois goes on a run or gets some momentum.  

And there it is.  What now, Huskers?

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Did not envision the second half to be the JL / Brice Ball show on offense 

[Keenan9595]

I’m not so sure that wasn’t a goal tend, the net got pulled while the ball was still on the rim…but mast has to finish that if you get two opportunities at it. 

[cipsucks]

KEISEI!

[roscoe]

Well if the guys boxing before Keisie's fts are any indication guy in red knocked out guy in blue? 

[REDZONEDAN]

Hawkins is a big crybaby.

[cipsucks]

We're within 1!

[REDZONEDAN]

I love how the announcers love to say Nebraska should have been called for this and that, but they never do the same for the other team.

Was going to mention doing his Caitlin Clark imitation.

[hal9000]

What drives me crazy about our rebounding is we turn and look up instead of putting our butts on a guy.

[HuskerFever]

Saying this now, because the result is irrelevant for this comment.

 

This is awesome! When I look at other teams who consistently make the Big Dance, you see those players in the regular season and every time they touch the ball you think that shot is going in. We're starting to see that with this team. Haven't been too many of those over the last few decades.

Apparently you’re allowed to foul as much as you want when going for an offensive rebound.

"Huskers flat out fell asleep"

 

Kent calls it

[cipsucks]

Down 2. Allick is a stud.
