They shoot a lot of threes and make 35%. Also shoot over 60% from 2. About 70% on free shots. Barely out rebound opponents.

Line is at Illini -9.5. Seems like a lot.

Too big in my view. Just win Baby! Tominaga is gone but the Dutch guy isn't. They can still shoot.

Hoping Judge Judy can travel north to Champaign with a giant cutout of a Runza and sit in the shooting sight lines of the Huskers to distract them!

I'll look for it!

9 1/2 seems high but I'll reserve judgment until I get the weather report
-
Expect a non sell out crowd due to weather
-
WTH is going on here?
Game on NBC Sports Network as well as The Peacock
-
Is this the last Sandfort ? >:(
-
Let me know when Underachiever actually coaches defense.
-
Another game, another opponent having a career game to start…
-
Getting worked on both ends of the court
-
I could accept Thornton last game.
But fucking Sandfort today???
Come the fuck on!
-
WTF why don't we guard guys that are hot or God forbid add a body on them
-
Oh no, we might have to compromise our defense.
-
Maybe stop helping off of the hottest shooter on the court?
-
Oh no, we might have to compromise our defense.
LOL... "What defense?" is what I thought to myself
-
Little Hoiberg doesn't look the part, you know a D1 basketball player.
-

And that right after he said something about Nebby changing up their defense to confuse us. When we were down by a dozen or so.
-
Here we go! Big time ending to the half.
-
Nice job playing D and getting to even
-
13-0 run to close the half. Brand new ball game after Sandfort Curry's monster half.
-
A great half ;D
-
We had 3 fouls. That's not enough.
-
That's not a T Jesus these refs
-
Fuck this shit…
-
Refs really want us to win this game
-
I hear the sarcasm…
-
Shocking that Humbrickhouse would me a three ...
-
Like the Nebraska Prevent Offense.
-
Finally made one!
-
LOL
-
That wipes out the road win.
-
Golden Era of Underachieving!
-
Member the days when we were damn near unbeatable at home?
-
Sandfort went nuclear in the first half. Mast took over in the 2nd and the Garcia kid gave them a spark off the bench. They won all the hustle plays.
We had our issues today, mainly on defense, but I'm not gonna pretend the Huskers aren't legit. They proved today coming in here and beating us after the 30 point ass whupping they just put on Wisconsin.
-
The bullshit technical was huge
-
The bullshit technical was huge
And the two missed front ends in a row.
But we were down the whole game. The better team today won.
I don't see us beating the top teams in the big ten and definitely not twice for those we play twice.
Looking like a 2-3 seed is likely out. But at this point I'd be happy with a 4-5 seed.
-
That sucked.
-
And yet ANOTHER CAREER NIGHT AGAINST our ILLINI, always gotta be one, good thing we hired the wonderkid to take over the defense. Geesh.
21-9 FREE THROW variance, lose by 3 on last second shot and leave 6 points on the line...
29 3's and lose a close game, is flippin ridiculous. This team has so far to go, and the new year is right around the corner.
At best a 6 seed in the tourney after this loss. Losing basketball to Nebraska is akin to Nebraska in it's heyday losing to ILLINI in football. FF Sakes
-
We are 8-5 at home this season and last season against major conference opponets
-
Wagler and that #2 guy finished with double doubles. Boswell with 20.
The game sucked. We'll see who starts vs Mizzurah.
-
I think we knew when they were loading up on Euro skill guys that we might have D issues.

I was wondering if/when you might stop by.
I think we played some defense in Underwood's early years but turned the ball over 20 times or so a game.
We've cut our turnovers down by quite a bit so far this year but defense appears to be optional.
Hoiberg said post-game that the final play was going to who Boswell wasn't guarding.
-
Been watching them when I can.
A lot of skill.
Lack athleticism and are little soft.
Could use a guy like Rodgers to help.
Hoiberg is right. Boswell is only guy who is a plus defender.
He has really improved here.
-
3 fouls in the 1st half made no sense the way we'd been getting torched.
I would have told them to grab and hold on once in a while just to disrupt rhythm. Or just knock Sandfort over. ;D

Yeah I would’ve told them to foul his ass pretty hard…

Or as I said to civilized people that I was texting with vs tOSU, somebody should just kick Thornton in the nuts.
