In the process of moving and took a break from the hell that is packing and unpacking to hop on the site. Awesome news.
By NU standards, this is a pretty stacked roster. Now we should be locked and loaded for the nonconference. No hiccups there and we are dancing.
Sigh...
What a dreadful effort on both ends. We rarely stopped dribble drives and it led to roughly 20 open 3s. What's infuriating is that we've seen this offense before.
We deserve every bit of this 20 point loss.
Regardless, that game was there for us. We made way too many mistakes. Bad shots, missed layups, flubbed rebounds.
For a last place team, Illinois really has some talent too.
Killer loss. Can live with Illinois making circus shots and 3s they haven't showed the capability of making, but pretty frustrating to watch Nebraska make mistake after mistake down the stretch and fail to build on that 5-point lead midway through the second half.
Just sucks to see the opponent hit some crazy shots while we miss FTs down the stretch. That foul on the long jumper late was just mind numbingly dumb. Inexcusable really.
