Hoiskers travel to Champaign as 9.5 underdog

[scarletred]

14th rank Illinois seats 7-3 in conference play and has won four of their last 5 games.
Realistically the Illini are the 3rd best team in the B1G.

Don’t feel real good about tonight’s game and hoping we play better on the road and don’t get blown out again..

This is a big line today. Not sure what I want to wager yet.

I’m not gonna touch this one, but Nebraska losing by double digits on the road to a ranked team shouldn’t really surprise anyone

 

[Charlie Marlow]

tough game to try to end our road woes.

 

[cubsker]

I thought the line would be even higher

 

[Badger Pete]

I thought the line would be even higher

Agreed on the line too low. Sadly this looks like easy money the way Huskers road trips have been going.

 

[cruelhalo]

Illinois has only lost to Marquette and Maryland at home. Indiana and Michigan St played them tough but lost. Nebraska can too but I don’t see good things happening.

 

[SickOfPractice]

I'm gonna watch like this 🫣

Who knows? Maybe?!

 

[Husker4real]

It's a "Nothing to Lose, Everything to Gain" game tonight.

Go out, play hard, have fun and see what happens. I'll be happy if NU is simply competitive.

 

[NebChicago]

Bombs away

 

[leodisflowers]

Need Keisei to have o e of those games. I’d love to see Mast have a big game on the road as well. GBR!

 

[schuele]

I don't envy the officiating crew who was assigned this entitled crybaby flopfest between Wisconsin and Purdue. Braden Smith just went down like he was shot by sniper, got the benefit of an and-one call, and still blubbered to the official afterward.

Damn near have to tackle Purdue players to get a foul..

Yup, gotta play loose and let it fly. Come out swinging and see what happens. No reason to play tight when nobody expects you to win. Play hard for 40 minutes and see what happens…

Yup, if we can get a bounce back performance out of Keisei, one of those games where he just goes off in 2nd half. Then have any one of Mast, Williams, Wilcher or maybe Gary go off for 20+ and 10 rebounds. That’s how we compete in or win a game like this on the road. Gonna need 2 (or 3) guys go off.

Game today seems like a good opportunity for Ninja to break out if his slump. Nothing to lose. Maybe the B1G refs make a call so Ninja doesn’t get mugged all over the court the entire game?

 

[BetterRed]

I feel bad having conceded this game, but this is a tall order. Any game on the road is tough, but especially to a good team. I’ll watch and hope for a competitive game. Just hope I don’t see another Maryland performance.

Here’s to hoping Ill is cold from 3 point line and we take care of the basketball

Illinois having an off shooting night would really help. I’m not expecting that, but it’s almost necessary if we’re gonna have a chance.

 

[mgbreis]

I want Wisconsin to lose but it's annoying watching Edey get all of these calls.

Yes, feature KT to try to get him back and to take some off others so they can have a day off, so to speak. If KT is hitting and ill is off, we may be in it late. If he isn’t hitting, doors get blown off and oh well. Play to save your legs, without looking like you are playing to save your legs.

Hell the officials are helping Wisky get back in the game..

It’s a disservice to Purdue . Gonna make for another early exit

I'm probably biased. Can't stand watching the giant freak. I know it's not a good look for me, but here I am.

 

[BetterRed]

I’m fine watching Purdue and Edy. He’s going to get his. Crazy how Purde always finds these giant freaks. I just can’t stand the vagers. They just annoy the chit outta me.

 

[BetterRed]

Lol….I think Purdue got away with a couple calls late. But I’m good with Wisky gettin screwed.

 

[kruller]

Nice makeup call. 😂

 

[scarletred]

Lol….I think Purdue got away with a couple calls late. But I’m good with Wisky gettin screwed.

Yep, those officials suck.

 

[TarheelHuskerFan]

This is a tough matchup for us. I’m typically more optimistic than I should be but I’d be surprised if we win this one. It is do-able though! Need a good shooting game and hopefully tominaga gets hot

 

[BetterRed]

I parked by the State Farm center when went to the football game. That place is a dump.

 

[Lincoln100]

The stream is so glitchy and buffers so often I actually can’t stand watching

 

[schuele]

I’ll gladly take the T, but Izzo and Painter bawl worse than that during the National Anthem.

 

[scarletred]

Mask struggles on the road with mid jumpers..

 

[cubsker]

Imagine getting that mad after 1 missed call. If he were our coach, he'd have ten heart attacks per season.

 

[BetterRed]

We talk a lot about Fran being a spaz, and he is. But Underwood goes nuts a lot too. But KT looking better so far.

 

[scarletred]

Did you for get about Fran?

 

[mgbreis]

It's by design. He's going to get calls, just watch.

 

[schuele]

Did you for get about Fran?

Fran goes ape shit over bad calls. But the guys who drive me nuts just start blubbering right from the opening tip, knowing it will get them plenty of calls.

 

[mgbreis]

Wow. Tominaga is off to a great start!

 

[mgbreis]

Has Allick ever NOT bit on a pump fake?
