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

[GoBigRed]

Miles needs to GATA. That was terrible. Yes Illinois is playing good D, but we're not even trying to attack

Anything wrong with Petteway? He looked somewhat gimpy jogging off the court or at least very sore.

I'm think we pull out a 50-48 grinder tonight fellas!

[REDZONEDAN]

Petteway always seems to step his game up in the 2nd half. If our shooters show up this next half, we'll win.

[hhcmatt]

Ray with 3 fouls

Benny with 2

 

Ekey has 2 fouls for them

 

Kendrick Nunn has 10 points

That's weird--the Twitter link is not appearing.

Um, horrible first half.  Let's make some adjustments and go win ourselves a ball game!

We're only playing half-bad. Our D is very good. You have to play great to win on the road in the BIG. Every team is good.

[roscoe]

As well as NU played at home the last 2 games and during the win streak that poor 1st half makes up for it on the bad side.

[Bugeaters1]

WE WILL WIN

Let's come out and punch em in the mouth. See how they respond.

Maybe I'm way off base here, but am I wrong to consider this another sign of progress in year 2 if we play like garbage the first half and are only down 3 on the road in conference?

If we weren't competing for an NCAA Tournament berth, I'd be inclined to agree. Instead, I'm just annoyed at the offensive effort.

Shields and Petteway are 2 - 14 from the floor.  We haven't made a 3.  We are getting killed on the boards 21 - 14.  It is mind boggling that we are only down 3.  That should change in the 2nd half.

Coach remind them penetration is a good thing.

Good eye

 

[PimpMario]

I was worried but a good portion of you seem to think it was in the bag so I guess I should stop worrying.  

 

If Petteway can get to his average I would really really like our chances.  Wouldn't hurt if Ray, Pitch or Shields could get their as well.

That in itself is a sign of big progress
