Illinois clearly goes to the school of Doc Sadler ugly basketball. Ugly it up and try to be close at the end to steal one.
Nebrasketball bitch about the refs and coach thread vs Illinois.

Why not go zone against Illinois? We're weak inside, we can't stop fouling, and they can't hit an outside shot to save their lives.

You know that part in “braveheart” where William Wallace’s boys are watching him get tortured and they are whispering to themselves “‘mercy’ William, ‘mercy’.” Watching this is kinda like that.
I’ve stopped pouring it into the glass and moved onto taking pulls directly from the bottle
Palmer had a good half, though. I like that he took on some ball-handling and distribution duties after Watson sat down, easing the pressure on Allen. Huskers need to do that more when Watson's in the game.
Maybe, but more than anything they need a rebounder on the floor. If the Huskers weren't getting clobbered on the offensive glass, Illinois wouldn't even have 20 points.
Agree, bad call. However, an even worse understanding of the game situation by Roby. He put himself in a situation where the ref could call a foul, when the half was essentially over, thus giving Illinois two gift FT attempts.
Watching NU basketball and NU football with Riley leads to the same amount of "WTH" moments.
These refs are God awful, but that's exactly what I've come to expect. That foul call on Roby was a total load of crap, and there's been quite a few like that. Copeland in foul trouble because of BS calls.
I'm not excusing our play, we've shot like crap and can't rebound (though some of that is because Illinois is being allowed to do pretty much whatever they want under the basket), but we would probably still be up by at least 6+ points if these refs would remove their heads from their sphincter.

Yes. Illinois is putrid. Ugly as the first half was, NU should win by 10-15.
Interesting what happens when the refs remove their heads from their hindquarters for a few minutes...
