Huskers vs. Illinois

[carrolltonsker]

NU with a defensive lapse, and NU gives up an easy basket. NU up 25-24. Offensive foul on Spencer. NU now down 26-25. Poor start for NU.

[Wonder Monds Fan]

Well the 2nd half is off to a bad start, Illinois gets an easy lay up and we commit an offensive foul. Then Illinois makes another basket. They lead 26-25.

[Wonder Monds Fan]

Very poor possession by NU, we would've had a shot clock violation if Illinois didn't catch our air ball.

[carrolltonsker]

NU gives up 4 points before they get off a shot--and that shot was an air ball.

[carrolltonsker]

Alley Oop by Illinois. NU now down 28-25.

That is what the 1/2 time adjusments comming out of the Husker locker room get you

Very poor possession by NU, we would've had a shot clock violation if Illinois didn't catch our air ball.

That's one tall dude Illinois has there.

Listened to most of the first half on the radio while running errands...man Kent Pavelka is hard to listen to.

Lots of turnovers, few shots...Doc must be in hog heaven. Don't think he's headed for that magical 60 points though...unless it's a double OT game.

That was a nice punt.

[Wonder Monds Fan]

Another air ball for NU.

[carrolltonsker]

Another air ball by Talley.

[carrolltonsker]

Spencer makes it 28-27 with 16:30 to go.

[carrolltonsker]

Illinois with a bucket at the end of the shot clock. NU down 30-27.

[carrolltonsker]

McCray makes it 30-29.

[Wonder Monds Fan]

Uh-oh. The Huskers need to regain the momentum, or this one could start to get away from us.

[carrolltonsker]

Illinois with a bucket and a foul. They lead 32-29 and will be shooting a FT after the TO. 15:33 to go.

[carrolltonsker]

Illinois misses the FT and they still lead 32-29.

[Wonder Monds Fan]

Illinois bails us out by fouling with 4 seconds left on the shot clock, we weren't even looking for a shot. And then we travel.

[carrolltonsker]

McCray travels. Illinois ball with 14:45 to go. NU now down 34-29.

[carrolltonsker]

Spencer with a 3 and NU trails 34-32.

[Wonder Monds Fan]

Bo with a huge 3! We're back within 2.
