Nebrasketball Game #17- Illinois: Tuesday, January 11 7:30pm BTN

[Omaha-Husker]

Actually like the ball movement tonight.

[RavHuskr]

Would be big for the last 4 minutes if we can get Kofi fouled out.

[Hayseed]

I’d feel more confident if we were up by 27.

Need to drive the ball constantly at him with McGowens.

If yhey'd call any of the illegal screens he sets he'd have fouled out a long time ago.

[RavHuskr]

Nm Illinois offense has looked better with him out game over.

[RavHuskr]

Fred's reaction after Verge's last one on one throw up a crap shot sums up this team.

How can they look so pathetic after playing all game and him on the bench?

[SouthLincoln Husker]

Verge plays ok until he thinks he has to win the game by himself.  He gets to dribble happy.

[PaulCrewe]

Verge needs to be riding the pine more.  He single handily led to this nail in the coffin run by Illinois with his turnovers and crap shots.  Webster has been so under used this year, since Trey went down

This was the Illini looking ahead to Michigan and Purdue and playing a road game...and this was NU just having some heart and a gambling game plan that sort of worked a bit.

 

And you dorks that think Bryce is not good don't realize that his body is about 16 years old...in two years (when he is in the NBA) will be crazy solid.

He was good until Kofi got his 4th, then Frazier took over and Verge thought he could match him. The last 4 minutes are the difference between a good team that knows how to win and a bad team in a close game where they keep losing.

Liked a lot more of what I saw tonight. Disappointing because it felt like it was there for the taking and they didn’t hit a ton of 3s on us plus missed a lot of FTs. Gave up way too many offensive rebounds again. I appreciated the fight after we blew the big lead.

Some our problems on Def. is our guards getting beat.
