Illini enter the Vault as 3.5 favorites

Huskers might have a puncher's chance if they could shut down Jakucionis. He's the lights-out freshman guard who was out with an injury for a couple of Illinois' recent losses.

Maybe put Gary on him and hope he doesn't get into foul trouble? Not sure NU has anyone else who can slow him down.
 
Penn State really needs to pick up the pace if they're going to get this preceding game into overtime. :Cool:

Taking a break betting for or against this team. No rhyme or reason to it. It’s embarrassing how much space defenders give Worster at the arc because he won’t/can’t shoot it. A big luxury for any defense.

Illinois is really the first team to do that, but they certainly won't be the last.
 
Again, Where T.F. is Braxton Meah? Playing the best rebounding team in the Big ten and we don't have our best rebounder and shot blocker in the game. JC Fred, do you want to get fired??
 
Guy shoved Gary right in the face to get that rebound. Should have been reviewed.
 
What a referee stretch there. No obvious over the back call so Illinois gets ANOTHER offensive rebound and then a BS foul on Brice for more free throws and another 2 foul swing. Never fails
Even after the guy climbed Gary’s back, he didn’t secure the rebound until he smacked Gary in the face. Not saying it was intentional, but it’s still a foul.
 
What'sthe deal with the black ref's high steppin????

He’s a douche. Always been a douche. If the B1G conference had any balls they would have told him to knock it off and stop drawing attention to himself.

And listen to the code words from KK and Bahe. When they say “that was close” or “that was “tough” that means the refs made another bad call. Have heard it 4-6 times in the first half.

Honestly, I always thought that ref might have bad knees. Sometimes a person with arthritis will run like that (to stay loose). But I could be wrong…
 
Why oh why go back to a starting lineup that did not work?

Essegian sucks on defense and on the boards. But when he’s making shots, he’s gotta play.

He does that all the time. I used to think it was intentional kinda his signature step. Looks like peddling a bike rrying to stretch out etc. But tonight I saw him do it a couple times instead of actually striding out . He couldn't keep up with the pace of the game.
 
Wow they showed replay before break of Nebraska bench after Berke 3 pointer….one of the players was tugging his meat 🤦‍♂️
 
Finally caught up on the DVR. Dropping in to comment on what a tragedy it is when Worster makes a 3.... then he thinks he oughta shoot three more. Bah.
I thought Essegian might start the second half, but that would have violated The Big Book of Basketball Coaching.

Huskers need to capitalize on Illinois’ awfulness and expand this lead. Don’t let them hang around

It's stupid, he won't start him but he definitely plays starter minutes. Just start him Fred.
