Winter Blunderland (12/14/25)

#13 Illinois loses to #23 Nebraska on a snowy Saturday afternoon in Champaign. Jamarques Lawrence hit the tie-breaking buzzer beater with 0.2 seconds left, thwarting the Illini comeback bid. The main story? Brad Underwood's team looked lifeless, especially on defense where they gave up more than 1.3 points per possession. Strong offensive games from Kylan Boswell, Keaton Wagler, and Andrej Stojakovic weren't enough, as the Illinois frontcourt flat out stunk. Next up: Braggin' Rights vs. Missouri on December 22.
