Found this snippet following Illinois' loss to Nebraska: "It was Finke’s second offensive rebound of the game, but the only one for Illinois in the second half and, ultimately, the third and final for the Illini in their 78-67 loss to the Cornhuskers.
Illinois fans — those in attendance at State Farm Center and more chiming in on social media — lamented Illinois’ rebounding against Nebraska. The Cornhuskers ended the game with a 42-24 edge on the boards, the sixth straight team — and 12th this season — to outrebound the Illini."

Troy, TB and Max should have a rebounding feast.

Great find. This IU team can be a very good rebounding team, hope they commit to that like they did against OSU.

Hopefully the "beat down OSU" team shows up.

 

I would love to see a 30 point beat down on the cry baby Groce.

 

That's one guy I can't tolerate to see on the sidelines.

Every time I see John Groce, I think of the principal from Phil of the Future (don't judge, my kids loved that show):

I remember this game very well. I was not impressed with Zeller up to this game in the season. First half he was getting beat down and looked lost, second half he came out all full grown man and put on a show.

[Feathery 4,005]

But we have replacement talks 24/7 365 days a week ;)

Expectation levels. IU is looking for national championships and consistency at the top of the Big Ten. Illinois just wants to be relevant...

Theres so much to like about this video. Watching Weber go on even though he has no idea what he's talking about, the complete disinterest from the players, and knowing they would go on to lose.

Ken(drick) Nunn loves IU Basketball!

We've got support from every angle.

I'm glad this is on ESPN and not BTN. The dudes calling last year's game in Champaign were insufferable.

1. Cody's shirt needs to be tucked in.
2. Nobody is within 15 feet of the game winning basket?
