Getting sloppy.

[Omaha Nebrasketballer]

D is great so far! Need to attack on offense though. Not settle for threes

[hhcmatt]

Petteway is struggling a bit.  He needs to see the ball go in the hoop.

 

Good thing the Mantis is hot tonight

[FredsSlacks]

at least somebody with dreads is playing well

[atskooc]

Oh my...

[colhusker]

Ray with a horrible shot

[tcp]

need some scoring. shots off for almost everyone.

[atskooc]

Too many offensive boards!

[GATA]

Awful, awful effort for that rebound.

[colhusker]

Our boxing out tonight is pathetic.

[huskerbaseball13]

Defensive rebounding...nobody is finding a body. Going to be our downfall this evening.

[PimpMario]

I hate to say it, but someone has to say it:

 

Ray, you no longer have shooting privileges.  You now have a red light instead of a green light.  You are welcome to pump fake and see if you can get something going to the rim.

[nuled2dance]

Same issue we had in Lincoln the boards

[tcp]

good news is we're not playing well at all, and Illinois might regret not taking advantage of that.

[Omaha Nebrasketballer]

Looks like a decent crowd tonight considering Illinois record. Atmosphere seems kind of dead though. Hopefully we can get on a run here and keep em quiet.

[hhcmatt]

Ray has 3 fouls.  Hello bench.

[GoBigRed]

Petteway and Shields doing horrible and we're still up 1, I'll take it. What is about Illinois that we can't rebound against them?

[hskr4life]

Man... Playing terrible... And currently up!!

[lanigan123]

Terrible shot selection and rebounding.

[Noah121]

Heading back from the media timeout, Bertrand sinks the free shot and ties it at 18.  6:30 left.  Huskers miss a shot... and then Illinois gets the "And it counts and a foul."

[colhusker]

Good lord Petteway, drive to the basket please.

[Omaha Nebrasketballer]

Leslie!

[B1G Red]

Wow. I think we may want to ditch the perimeter shots for a bit.

[atskooc]

Thanks to Smith and Rivers, we're still in it.

[huskerbaseball13]

Back to not shooting for you Tai
