Looks like Huskers needed to requisition some helmets and shoulder pads from the football team for today’s game.
Couldn’t believe, for example, the play in the second half where Hoiberg got run over by Shannon—literally, and head-on and outside the arc—but no-blood-no-foul, I guess.
This is why Illinois has been laying an egg in the tournament every year in recent times—they can’t get away with the same physicality with officials outside the B1G. Perhaps they’ll prove otherwise this time around?
Also, Huskers looked gassed in the second half and didn’t have the legs to make their threes.
