Nebraska Drops Second Straight as Illinois Dominates Second Half to Pull Away | Nebrasketball Hour
Well, we all probably figured this moment was coming, but for the fist time, Jack comes into a show in a bad mood (the Michigan game was marginal). But the guys talk it out and identify the reasons Nebraska just didn’t look quite like themselves today, not the least of which was the quality of their opponent (who once lost to Nebraska). Whether you attributed to Rienk’s post stomach bug offensive lull, the lack of a Pryce second half show, the defense becoming vulnerable to the lob dunk, or Wagler putting on a second half scoring show, every angle is evaluated.
After the damage is assessed, the guys arrive at a comforting reality about this loss, given its full context, and what it does and doesn’t mean about the future. Plus, a dive into the box score including a surprising comparison between the L against Illinois in Lincoln and the W vs Illinois in Champaign. They introduce the new Ryan Anderson Memorial (he’s not dead) MVP award homage segment in honor of the old school Nebrasketball Pod (shout out new sponsor the Nebraska Half [Marathon]).
Then, a run through what is going to be a very fun February in the Big Ten, including some tests for the teams at the top of the league you might not have realized were still to come. The guys then make their latest guess at Nebraka’s NCAA seed (wait for the plot twist on this), and then make a very special announcement about the I-80 Club’s plans for the postseason you won’t want to miss!
