Nebraska (23-9) vs. Illinois (24-8) Game Thread

[cozrulz]

great start on offense

[hskr4life]

I’m wondering… if locking us in the dance AND winning two on the road finally lifted something off these guys shoulders and now they can go out and just play.

[hhcscott]

Hawkins? More like Walkin'

[NUtball]

Whatever happens, making Coleman Hawkins look like a fool would be the cherry on top.

It's quite possible that Illinois initiated that. Then Indiana solidified that. Interesting that those are our two opponents in this tournament so far.

He might be saving it for the conference season finale.

Illinois is down by 15 with 2 TOs left and there’s almost 19 minutes left in the game.

[Huskerpapa]

[cozrulz]

[Huskerpapa]

They are picking it up

[HuskerBB]

How was that not a foul on Keisei's shot?   

[B1G Red]

Here come the refs

[NUtball]

Sick of Shannon getting away with all the pushing and shoving.

[tcp]

no quit in illinois need to break them!

[HuskerBB]

Fantastic block by Brice.   Would have been really great if he had hit the 3 on the other end.

Yeah, I think that really would have deflated their ramped up effort.

They've stepped up the D on us.  Need to hunker down until we can get Mast back in.  

[cipsucks]

We knew this run was coming.  7-2 Illinois.  We answer with a 11-6 run.  GBR!

[jason2486]

Fuck Shannon...just dives into everyone.

[hal9000]

Hard to blame the refs on that.  I don't know how the naked eye can catch that.

[tcp]

we gottta watch fouls...shannons just bulldozing our team into foul trouble...he's got th magic cloak of no-fouling. 

[cozrulz]

Gonna have to get Diop back in
