If you've ever listened to the KFAB broadcast of the 1971 Game of the Century, you might remember that Dave Blackwell, right before the final Oklahoma fourth-down play, says, "Oh, man . . ."
That's how I feel right now.
Win 5 of 6 at home (beat Michigan, Rutgers, Ohio State, Penn State and Purdue), then steal one on the road (PSU? Northwestern? Indiana?), and that does it.
Of course, I predicted 4-14, so what do I know?
Nebraska bench (McVeigh, Webster and Morrow) 8 of 9 from the field and 1-1 from deep. 17 points and 8 rebounds.
Illinois bench has 11 points and 4 boards, and that's because Nunn didn't start. He has 8 points and 3 rebounds alone.
