Nebrasketball: Losing Streak Hits Five in Ugly Loss to Illinois

Once they dug themselves into a hole, a cold shot from deep and uninspired players couldn’t topple Illinois.

Coming into Saturday’s game, the Huskers had dropped four straight and six of the last eight in Big Ten play. They had a chance to right the ship and gain some momentum against the Fighting Illini. Illinois was 6-15 before the game with the second worst Big Ten conference record at 2-8.

In just the second game for Tim Miles and company since losing Isaac Copeland for the season, things started just about as bad as possible.

Illinois opened the game with a 7-0 run, prompting a Miles timeout. He must have used the last of his magic in that huddle, as the Huskers responded with a 10-0 run themselves. James Palmer Jr. capped it off with back-to-back three-pointers.
