Nebrasketball vs Illinois

Huskers are 4.5 point underdogs (opened at 3.5) with an over/under of 154.5.  ESPN gives Nebraska a 34.8% chance to win.

Mast is out.  Everyone else should be available.

Go Big Red!

 
When is someone going to tell the media department of the AD office that creating graphics like this with such small print sucks?

Yeah, that seems to be a pretty noticeable (or barely noticeable, as the case me be) lack of situational awareness.

 
Okay, so the Illini will be without their starting center for the 3rd game in a row.  He has Mono or maybe he is just really bored. 





Illini are not playing great right now.  They have a Euro PG that is tabbed as a top 10 pick in this upcoming draft.  

They have another freshmen that is on some first round draft boards as well, Will Riley, he won't start but will come off the bench, has not hit a 3 in like 10 games.

Overall, I can see NU winning this game.  PBA is usually a tough place to play and the fans get into it.

Illinois will probably shoot 35 threes.  Non-anecdotally they shoot about 30 a game and NU invites teams to shoot the 3, so I could see 35+ attempts tonight.

They have a stretch 4, Ben H, he will either go 0/7 from three or 4/8.

Found some more non-anecdotal stuff:

Rebounding, rebounding, rebounding. The Illini currently are #2 in the nation with a 57.3% rebound percentage, behind only St. Mary's at 57.6%. Nebraska is #137 at 51.1%. With Tomi out, the percentage has dipped to 54.3 the past three games (#46 in the country the past three games).
In particular, offensive rebounding. The Illini are #15 in the nation, getting 35.7% of their missed shots. Nebraska is #75 in defensive rebounding at 74.6%. Nebraska is #253 in offensive rebounding at 25.4% while the Illini are #7 in defensive rebounding at 78.9%.
Would be great to hit a lot of 3's, but offensive rebounding is a pretty good insurance policy. Hoping that Morez, White, Riley and Co. hit the boards relentlessly tonight.

 
i hope the huskers finally snap this losing streak...but honestly don't think it happens this game.   have not seen anything to give me hope
