Brad Underwood wasn't ready for the punches that Nebraska threw at the Illinois basketball team on Saturday.
The Illinois basketball program played an up-and-down game on Saturday, and Nebraska took advantage of that inconsistent play.
It was an ugly start for the Illini, as we got into a double-digit hole within minutes. Nebraska came out firing, and they couldn’t miss.
Illinois stemmed the tide late in the first half, though. We fought back and ended up finishing the first half on a 13-0 run to go into halftime tied 37-37.
