Fuck Getsy. There's a game today.

Fuck Getsy. There's a game today.
Damn it!
-
TSJ clearly bumped. Brad has a right to be pissed there.
-
I'll try again. Until I get it right. Refs may think this is a home game for Tominaga given all the Asian eateries on campus.
I'll be here all night.
-
Tominaga on fire…
-
Jap kid with the half court heat check
-

Like Nagasaki in 1945!

Like Nagasaki!
Hiroshima!

Thinks he's Meadowlark Lemon.
-
King Kong!
-
Godzilla!
-
We need someone like Mothra to play D on him.
-
King Kong!
I guess he did battle Godzilla.
-
Whatever happened to the alleged comedian guy from the Illinois commercials?
-
How about working the ball around instead of taking 3s all the time?
-
The looks are there but just not going down. Work it inside.
-
Illini need this
-
And take better shots when they get inside.
-
That works
-
That's what I want to see
-
Wam bam thank you ma'am may be inappropriate
-
Eat a bag of dicks, Topanga!
-
Wam bam thank you ma'am may be inappropriate
Wam bam finger bang ma'am may be appropriate though…
Unless you’re Spark of course…
-
TSJ needs to drive on these fools the rest of the game.
-
They can’t miss
-
Even on a good defensive possession they knock one down from deep.
-
Goode is not living up to his last name thus far.
-
And Guerrier has had a few tough games.

He's not pulling the trigger anymore. Just looking to drive.

Not rebounding either
-
Need to keep attacking inside and get them in foul trouble. Worked for us at the end of the half.
-
Need someone to slap the floor on D!
-
Here we go!
-
That’s what I’m talkin about, Willis!
-
TO Baby!
-
Helluva start to the second half!
-
See. Attack the basket. It's not rocket science.
-
Not the shot we're looking for there, Coleman.
-
These guys really can't miss. God damn.
-
Make a free shot, Dainja!
-
D'oh
-
How you miss that dunk?
-
Huskers have gone cold at least. We'll see if that's still the case with Tominaga back in.
-
TERRENCE FUCKING SHANNON!
-
Wish someone would guard Nate Mast's cousin
-
Stop settling.
-
What the fuck are we doing?!
-
What the fuck are we doing?!
Acting dumb
-
Stupid stupid basketball
-
Hero ball SMH. Do we not run plays, cuts, off the ball screens? We play like some of the elementary teams I've coached.
-
This ought to be good....
-
This not should be a 1 point game. We dicked around on offense the last 3 minutes.
-
No reason this should be this close. We were just playing dumb basketball.

Is that an indictment of your own coaching?
-
The whole game. We thought our 3 pt shooters were better than theirs
-

I'm an average so slightly above average coach. At best.
-
This looking a lot like last year
-
I'm an average so slightly above average coach. At best.
Can you coach the Illini the last 27 4 seconds?
-
Sure is. And Shannon is playing his way to a worse draft pick every week.
-
Free shots are important
-
And our best FT shooter blows the win. You can't make this shit up.
-
Yeah, I certainly don't feel good about the Illini chances in The Only Tournament That Matters.
-

Well, I guess now better than in March like Skip Dillard.
-
We better quit fucking around and put it away here in OT!
-
Stupid shot
-

Doesn't seem like they are going to stop
-
Free shots back to being an issue
-
I would have kept in Dainja and not brought Gerrier back
-
Wow we crapped ourselves in the last two minutes.
Also remain surprised that Rienk Mast didn't wind up at a better school. Exact same success theory as Domask at this level.
-

The Big Ten Tournament?
-
Hit your free shots
-
The Big Ten Tournament?
Yes. Only tournament that matters
-

This.
-
Drive the ball!!!!!
-
How ridiculous.
-
Good thing had all that time to get ready for this shitty road team....

They look like the same team that played the 2nd half vs Wisco
-
Looks like we salvaged this one!
-

They played WI at home
-
Shot wouldn't have counted anyway but even TSJ had to make it interesting bricking those last two free shots.
Of course he could have taken the wide open dunk that would have also sealed the game.
-

Yeah he needs to dunk that wide open look to go up 5 not pull back only to choke and miss two FT. Brutal.
-

They were in Champaign today.

They were in Champaign today.
And they are 0fer on the road and have sucked offensively on said road. Until today, of course.
-

Not part of the offense, working the ball around and players moving.
Damned lucky to win this game
-
We didn't deserve this win but sign of a good team is pulling out wins in games you don't deserve to win.
-

I was madder than hell when he did that.
I thought that 50 foot shot was going in. Lucky it didn't.

Last 3 minutes of regulation we got three happy and stopped doing what got us the lead which was working it inside.
-
Losing to MD and eeking out a win at home against NE is not ideal.
-
May want to have Beach Bum run some inbound plays at practice.
-

They played a full game today. We didn't.
-

Not telegraphing the pass and throwing it into traffic for starters. I preach those.
-

When Tominaga is ON like tonight, they are tough to beat anywhere.
They hit a ton of tough shots. Step back threes, long twos. And were perfect from the line. The rebounding advantage was the difference for us in the end.
-

Gave up 53 between 2 guys.

It's not like we pulled up chairs to watch them put up 53. They both hit some good shots.
-

You cannot be missing dunks. Lucky that didn't come back to haunt them.
-
On delay like usual. Fuck my blood pressure has to be high right now. That last three minutes of regulation after going up ten was fucking awful. Harmon outside of the free shots was horrendous. Hawkins standing around watching loose balls or plays happening at least 4-5 times in the second half and OT. Guerrier sucked. Goode sucked.
Shut down Williams and Wilcher, but Tomagotchi torched us no matter what we did, as he does to good teams. Bacne dude was really good too.
Happy to escape with a W. Better make good use of the layoff ahead of Sparty.
-
Rodgers is a baller. I'm liking him more all the time. We shit the bed and they shot well so I'll take the W.
Beilein is so much better than Weber on analysis.
-
And as a coach.
-
Probably wouldn’t have been so close if Miles Leonard hadn’t had to start the thread

Some guys seem to hit a lot of good shots against the Illini with regularity this year.
-

100% facts. It probably would have been a 15-20 point win if we all would have flocked to PAMan's thread instead.
-

Good players tend to do that. Wilcher and Williams had been giant killing guys for the Huskers. They went 4/18 for 9 points. Tominaga shot 5/7 on threes and never had an open one.
-
Nothing easy right now. Teams are playing for their lives and not a lot separating most of these teams except for Purdue.
Expect really tough games at MSU and MD.
-
Tied for 2nd in the big at the end of the night.
Good thing we have a week to get some things corrected and prepare for another Pizza Hut parking lot brawl in East Lansing next Saturday.
-
These guys absolutely nail it like usual:

They are entertaining. He has Illinois in Final Four?
Illinois had 14 TOs and was 26% from three and missed 10 FTs and only shot 41%. It's not rocket science. We survived.
We had a couple droughts of several minutes with no baskets.
Our rebounding saved us.
Agree we are good team with some pretty good to very good parts but not sure we are really good- like EE good. And we could easily have a second round loss with no true end game playmaker or rim protector.
We need an MSU road win - and then a Wisky win, or a Purdue win in season or BTT. Will give us battle tested confidence to win the R32 game which will likely be against a dangerous 5 or 6 seed.

Sorry been moving snow today, sorta busy
That game should not have been as close as it was. Gross!
-
I'm wondering if we were a little tired mentally and physically. We weren't sharp and shots weren't falling. I keep reading that we've played so many games in so many days but everybody does. The break might be coming at the right time.
On3.com predicts us moving up to #10. That wasn't a top 10 performance but we did get the win and that's what matters.
-
I'm happy with the win. Obviously not our best game but we took Nebraska's best shot, multiple at that. We missed some FT's but that was probably due to the insane rebounding effort we put forth to hang in the game when Tominaga was going nuclear.
At what point do we start discussing Domask being a 1st team all big ten player? He was only in double figures in 2 of his first 7 games of the season.
Just in his last 5 games here are his stats. 25 rebounds, 22 assists, 92 points. He's also shooting the 3 ball better in that time frame too. 5-15. Over his last 10 games Domask is averaging 20.6 ppg! Id imagine if he pulls close to 18ppg average by end of the season he will likely end up on it. He's certainly trending that way of late.

I think once you get past Edey there are about 6-7 guys that are possible. Buie, Young, Braden Smith, Walker, Storr, Domask, Shannon. Even Hawkins is starting to get in conversation if he continues his level of play. If we finish a close second one of the Illini likely will make it.

Ref supposedly was swearing at Underwood which obviously didn't sit well with him so he got T'd up.

I have no idea who was yelling at who from that.
