My word Shields.....just terrible.

[colhusker]

Shot selection tonight is pathetic

[ajb5856]

Why did shields take that shot?

[PimpMario]

0-9 from 3.  I think we should keep jacking them up, they are bound to fall right?

 

 

NOT! That was sarcasm.  

[hskr4life]

We're playing so bad and still down just 3... We can do this

[Omaha Nebrasketballer]

One of those games that both teams feel like they should be up 10 based on how the other is shooting.

[royalfan]

Get a stop here and be thankful we are not down much. 

[atskooc]

good lord. this is a bricklaying convention.

Have to hit the rim to lay a brick.

[MichHusker]

Jeez...I feel like I'm watching 5 year olds just chucking balls at the hoop

[GoBigRed]

We've had more shots miss the rim this half than the rest of the season combined.

[ajb5856]

Have a chance to tie or cut to 1 or at least drain the clock a bit and Shields takes a lazy step back.

[a0t0w0]

Woooo that was the start of our good luck.

[tcp]

we're damned lucky to be down only 3. or you could say illinois is damned lucky to be up 3. neither team playing well.

let's hope second half huskers is still in play.

[Omaha Nebrasketballer]

Whew...I will happily take a 3 point deficit based on that first half offensive effort

[GATA]

Pretty fortunate to only be down three right now.

[royalfan]

Illinois is playing good defense to be fair.  The paint not particularly easy to get into.  We have to find a way to create some driving angles. 

[Bugeaters1]

GOOD GAWWWD That was bad, just have to find the shooting eye.

[Noah121]

Halftime score is 24-27.  Let's make some adjustments at the break!

[huskerbaseball13]

I'll take being down 3. We seem to have puckered up. Need to play loose second half.

[nuled2dance]

Terrible offensive display ....if we ha rebounded though we would have been leading because of our D

[royalfan]

We also just are not that damn good.  That is part of the problem on offense.  We are a shooter short with Rey going through this. 

[Fullbacksympathy]

Great D first half. We're in a position to win it , and that's what you want on the road. No way TP and Pitch stay quiet.

I think we'll get some transition buckets in the 2nd.

[MichHusker]

Luckily I have faith in this team as a second half team. Miles will have them ready to step it up a notch( or 7).

[GATA]

They are, but we're making it very, very easy for them.

Lordy Lordy first one to 40??
