Good having Moses back

[atskooc]

Not the kind of shot we need from Leslee.

[gobigredbrah]

Good start, need better communication with david rivers going after that out of bounds rebound

[hskr4life]

I do not mind that shot from Leslee.  He hit those last year, and we know he is capable of hitting those.  We always talk about how we need to have people not afraid to shoot, and Leslee hitting that 15 foot jumper is something that I am ok with.

[Huskerone]

Rivers!  Nice move.  Quick little run here we can put some good space between us and Illini.  Good D tonight so far.

[hskr4life]

Anyone ever wonder how funny it would be if the jump ball rule was like the NBA for Benny.  

[HuskerFever]

Fantastic defense tonight!

[HuskerFever]

I just can't believe that we have not been able to take advantage of Illini's scoring droughts. We should be up by 10+ points by now.

[gobigredbrah]

Two missed opportunities on the fast break

[hskr4life]

Great job tonight limiting them to one shot.  TP has been on the bench a few times which will will only help in the end!  Nice to have the big guys back!

[Huskerone]

Stillll waiting for that run.  Keep grinding fellas.

[hal9000]

Were + 5 on rebounds so far.

[Bugeaters1]

Illinois is 12minutes without a field goal. but only trail by five stretch the lead guys

[huskerbaseball13]

Had a chance to really put the hurt on them but a couple bad turnovers killed some momentum. Hopefully the shots start to drop again.

[hskr4life]

They cut it to three.  We CAN NOT give up the lead.  I do not care if it is a one point lead or a 20, I do not want them to see a lead the rest of the game.

[Huskerone]

Petteway has been out for a while.  He feelin alright tonight?

[HuskerFever]

Good half. Good half.

 

We certainly look like a different team out there tonight.

[Huskerone]

solid half, need one more.

[Bugeaters1]

Petteway has been out for a while.  He feelin alright tonight?

Two fouls on TP

[hskr4life]

Nice half.  I am ok with the lead we got because of the D we are playing.  We need to come out alive to start the second half, and grab this W.

[brfrad]

Petteway has been out for a while.  He feelin alright tonight?

He got 2 fouls.  With the lead didn't want to pick up 3rd.

[Red Don]

Holy Moly!  Like watching a completely new team! 

[Bugeaters1]

[Red Don]

Seems like we're trying to match Illinois on (missed) treys;  maybe we should try going to the rim more!  (we'd probably lead by a lot more than 6 pts)

[HuskerFever]

Holy Moly!  Like watching a completely new team! 

 

That would be Holy Moses
