Nebraska 16-10 Vs. Illinois 15-12 Game Thread

[PimpMario]

Good to see Petteway get SOMETHING going.  He needs to outscore Illinois 10-0 over the next couple minutes.

[HuskerFever]

Our defensive intensity is back up. Keep them on their toes!

[Mr. Red]

Love Terran- but it's so sad that when our star has a down game, no on else steps up to fill his void

[HuskerFever]

Let's face it, guys, we need Petteway to play like the alpha dog, especially when Shields doesn't have it.

 

Yeah, this kind of clears up the Petteway/Parker debate on a previous thread.

[PimpMario]

Rebound the FRAKKIN ball.

[B1G Red]

Terran looks determined now ... Let's go boys!

[GATA]

I'll give it to Rivers, Smith and Parker thus far, they've really kept us afloat despite poor games from Petteway, Shields and Pitchford. Hopefully the latter can carry it home for us.

Law of averages. We still have a chance. 8 points in 8 minutes?

Funny how a tiny bit of momentum will do that for a team!

Are you joking?  Rivers, Parker and other stepped up huge in his absence during the first half.

Still in it fellas. Illinois looks to be going into "stall mode" and will likely be getting bad shots at the end of the shot clock. BOX OUT and keep attacking the rim and we might just pull this one out.

[Timmy Schlichtenschmidt]

Sit down in the front already! I can't see!

[PimpMario]

To some extent I fell like Petteway has just stepped in every game for Shields.

[GATA]

Illinois has fallen apart down the stretch in many of their Big Ten losses. This isn't over by a long shot.

Also, when Petteway jacks up 15 shots and misses 12 it is kinda hard for someone else to get going when they don't get a chance.

Illinois is notorious for their scoring droughts.  let's have one now

[GATA]

Illinois has scored on so much slop...

[Huskerpapa]

Can't get over the hump.

[HuskerFever]

SLOPPY!

[hskr4life]

Damn Tai

[GATA]

Why did Tai dive for that freaking ball?

[PimpMario]

Maybe our motto should be:

 

Live by the Petteway, die by the Petteway

 

Thankfully most recently we have been living by him.

[Omaha Nebrasketballer]

Turnovers. Dumb dumb dumb. Good hustle by Tai though not to concede the lay up

[colhusker]

We get close we turn it over.  Nice hustle by Webster after his mistake.

[tcp]

we've learned one thing. we can't survive terran not hitting his average.
