Im almost sure this quote was “blow it in the 9th” though.

[cozrulz]

have to be better with the little things down the stretch.

[hskr4life]

Good lord. Now we’re in a dog fight. We won’t be able to score with Illinois, so we better pull our head out on the D end.

[cozrulz]

may have kept Illinois around for too long

[millerhusker]

We’ve had sooo many good looks tonight. Just not making any of them outside the lane.

we've settled for a lot of threes

[MichHusker]

If we lose this game it'll be  because of our ineptitude at the rim

[hskr4life]

We miss so many two footers. Do we anticipate contact too much?

[hskr4life]

50-27 on the boards tonight. That’s….. bad.

[millerhusker]

Juwan is not blocking out whatsoever. Illinois has 50 rebounds. Inexcusable 

[brfrad]

On our end, that's a clean block.  On their end, it's a foul.

[cornfed24-7]

Uhg it's like we're in a poker game and they're betting with mindless and careless turnovers to our missed bunnies and bricked open jumpers.

Outside of Rollie I think all the others were within the flow of the offense

how many have we not secured when it was in our hands?

[hskr4life]

We’ve gotta love the rim here.

[millerhusker]

The four step step-back shouldn’t be a thing in college basketball 

[cozrulz]

you knew that step back was coming

[cozrulz]

can't guard the three again

[hskr4life]

Of course. 

[cornfed24-7]

I swear...if Brice loses the ball here my heads gonna explode.

[hskr4life]

Illinois now 10-33

Almost TO and then settled for a long 2

What d do you run, zone or man?

[hal9000]

We’re up three.  Why do we run the same D that gives open looks at the three.  How about straight man?
