Nebraska led most of the game (and I think never trailed), but Illinois tied it up to take it to overtime. In overtime Williams was hot, and the Huskers win 80-74.
A win over #18 Illinois will push them back towards the good side of the bubble.

Dadgummit, they’re trying to draw me back in. This team defies description.
One game it looks as if they could play with anyone in the country and the next they look as if they couldn’t beat a D3 team.

Illinois was without their 7’1" player, who is out indefinitely with mono, how much impact that had is anybody’s guess.
Nebraska didn’t seem to move up in Joe Lunardi’s latest Bracketology, though.
