[Moiraine]

We're really bad at basketball today. So far.

That had to be Illinois' best half, and Huskers are only down 7...

True. They've missed maybe 2 3's.

 

They just said Illinois is the worst 3 pt shooting team in the conference. So, like I said, just our luck. They're shooting 77.8% right now.

I still think we did a terrible job of taking advantage of the bonus.

And historically this season we’ve been a second half team. Not worried in the slightest at this point.

All this talk lately about how good Nebraska has been at 3 point defense this year... Illinois is shooting 78% after going 7/9 in the first half...

They’ve hit some circus bailout shots after very good defensive possessions as well as Black playing the half of his life.  Honestly would not bet on those trends continuing.

 

Roby can get to the rim against his guy and Palmer as well, need Watson and Gill to do anything on offense to open more creases to the rim.

 

And Copeland CANT Jordy that great bounce pass from Roby.  That pass has been there all game

They need to drive and not try to get it all back in a couple shots. Miles is good at stressing this at halftime, I just hope the team can deliver. Win 4 minutes at a time.

That's what I was thinking about too. I feel like seeing all those threes made them start taking more threes than they should.

ESPN stats show 7/9.

 

Either way, many teams couldn't shoot that well without any defense. 

[ECisGod]

16 3's in the first half is too many for the Huskers. Should be half that.

[BIG ERN]

Watson needs to stop playing like dog turds 

[PaulCrewe]

2-3 zone instead of the 1-3-1.  Interesting

There ya go Cope.  Nice dime dropped by Roby

[Moiraine]

Well, that was a good start.

[Moiraine]

hooray.
