Your Boilers played awfully well yesterday, sure they got handled on the boards and the Illini go hot from three. But, that's what it took to beat them, any other night the Boilers win.
Don't know if I'm sold on Nebraska, a very good college team, Final Four/National Championship good? No. At some point or another you're going to need a guy with NBA type talent to step up and win a game for you. Saw something about Nebraska being the basketball equivalent of IU in football. Not even close, IU had legit NFL talent (5 players in the top NFL' Tankethon top 100, 4 players in CBS Sports top 100, 5 in PFF Top 100) plus a Heisman winning QB who is likely a top 5 pick in 2026. Nebraska basketball has nothing approximating that, I may be wrong still, wouldn't surprise me if Michigan wipes the floor with them Tuesday night.
