Let's talk Illinois!!!

[lanigan123]

Biggest game left on our schedule. Nebraska needs this game. Need to start fast.

They are all big...

That's what...... well, never mind.

[nuled2dance]

She said;)

[hhcmatt]

BTW, I thought I saw somewhere that the gameplan for the last game was to limit Nunn.  Anyone else see that/remember where it might be?

 

Found it

They are all big...

Just like Grandpa.

[KZRider]

As beau Reid just said on the radio, Illinois is going to make nebraska shoot the ball, not let shields and Terran get in to paint.

 

A lot of teams have tried to keep those two from getting to the rim. They have still been able to do it. That said, it will be important for either/both Pitchford and Gallegos to shoot well from outside. Pitchford has shown a consistent ability. Ray's shooting absence lately is a mystery.

[Tallbaby21]

What will the spread be? Illinois -1? Pick em?

[Handy Johnson]

Nunn killed the Gophers last week, we need to get up in his jersey, no space, no mercy...

CALLING MR PARKER

[Norm Peterson]

As beau Reid just said on the radio, Illinois is going to make nebraska shoot the ball, not let shields and Terran get in to paint.

Talking about it and actually preventing it aren't the same thing.

 

Terran can kiss shots off the glass like no player I've ever seen.  He doesn't need to get into the lane.  He can just get near the lane and do damage.

 

And they still have to score on the other end.

He is indeed a dangerous player but we have developed into an even better defensive team (Parker and Rivers have been money) since the last time we played them. Rice got 23 against us last time but Nunn only scored 9. I can live with those numbers again.

[busticket]

I don't think Rice gets near 23 this time.  The way the guys are executing the "raid" defense, he is going to have a heck of a time getting into the paint.  On top of that, Rice is a terrible perimeter shooter.  As long as one of their other wings doesn't catch fire from 3 we'll be fine.

[hhcmatt]

Do these guys seem worried?

[hskr4life]

Worried about their tournie seed?? Yeah! ... No, they cat afford to think like that.

[HuskerFever]

Do these guys seem worried?

 

Meanwhile, Shavon is in his hotel room studying for his microbiology class...

And Terran's out shooting hoops across the street using the lights from the hotel.

Benny time

[HuskerFever]

Who do you think took the picture?

[nuled2dance]

What do you think peltz is up to?

[hhcmatt]

[hhcmatt]

What do you think peltz is up to?

 

About 380 on the bench press

[nuled2dance]

Nice yea ... The real question is while pitch is sleeping, these guys are taking photos, shavon is studying, peltz is benching.....

What is the serg doing at the hotel?

Man is it 8pm yet tomorrow night

[GATA]

Not going to lie fellas, I'm nervous about this game. Illinois plays hard, has had a week to prepare and is coming off their biggest win in a month.

It's weird feeling nervous for a Nebrasketball game. How things have changed!
