Not sure if it's been posted but what we gotta do to make thr NIT now after beating Francis and the cuckeyes? Does that get us in or do we need to win a game in the tourney still?
NU BB Post season?
- Thread starter nostromo78
- Start date
I think the NCAA BB committee selects the 32 team field. No guaranty for NU but should have a darn good shot of making the tournament. PBA attendance likely is a consideration, I would hope.

Moot… Nebraska is gonna win the B1G tourney
This is what I texted a friend after the win today
- 1 Win in the Tournament (17) - I can see post season, but it will be tough
- 2 Wins (18) - NIT 4-5 seed
- 3 Wins (19) - Bubble Talk - 1-3 Seed NIT
- 4 Wins (20) - Play in slot in the NCAA's
- Win the Big 10 - 12 Seed no play in
IF (big if) NU wins 4 in the B1G tourney they’ll be dancing and it won’t be as a play-in team.
They aren't even listed in the NIT yet... to go from outside the NIT to in the NCAA without winning Big 10 is going to be tough... so I feel a play in is the scenario if they win 4
There isn't a team on their side of the conference tourney bracket they can't beat...... That being said Minnesota could also beat them too. Potentially fun week ahead though. Championship week is always a blast
If we don't make the NIT, perhaps the CBI tournament will be interested.
Let's see, in 2018, we were 22-10, 13-5 and fourth place in the Big Ten, and we got a road game in the NIT. I'm not holding out hope unless we go on a mini-run (2-3 wins) in the conference tourney. We're still at #92 in the NET rankings, too.
We're #93 in the KenPom rankings and #92 in the NET rankings
NET Chart below
Rank..Previous.. Record...Road..Neutral..Home..Quad1...Quad 2...Quad 3...Quad 4
NET Chart below
- We're still 29 spots below OSU, despite having better records against Quads 1, 3 and 4.
- We're 52 spots below Rutgers. We went 6-2 in the last 8 games. RU went 2-6, losing to us.
- We're 14 spots below Wisconsin and 36 spots below PSU.
- We lost too many Quad 1 games, 10, the same as Illinois, 1 fewer than UM and 2 fewer than OSU.
- No. 26 Maryland went 3-9 against Quad 1. They completed a conference season 0-10 on the road.
- We lost too many games early, and when we lost, we lost by too many points, apparently.
- A 92 ranking requires us to do some heavy lifting in the conference tournament.
- Wins over Minnesota, Maryland and Indiana MIGHT get us a low seed in the NIT. MIGHT.

I go off of betting sites for my data as there is no bias on these sites. Nebraska has a winning record against the 11th hardest schedule in the country this year.

I should also add that in 2019, we went 6-14 in the Big Ten, and we got a home game in the NIT. So I guess the NIT is a crapshoot.
Why wouldn’t we get invited to the NIT after beating Minnesota on Wednesday regardless if don’t go any further ?
Minnesota's ranking will drop us even further, win or lose. We'll have to then beat both Maryland and Indiana to get that into the 80s, which still might not be good enough. I mean, we just beat Iowa on the road and rose just two spots, while Northwestern rose seven spots after beating Rutgers on the road, something we also accomplished.
NET ranking doesn't really mean that much. Graduating a lot of TV talking heads is way more important.

20 game winner in the B1G with some of the wins they have won’t be kept out of the tournament. Late season performance matters too
2018 was an absolute screw job.
Gotta beat MN first. Hard to beat the same team three times…
True that. Gophers are definitely playing better. Would have taken down Wisconsin last night if not for some late yips at the FT line and some very strange lineup decisions by the MN coach.
I've got a bad feeling about ANOTHER Minnesota game. But then again, I've had a bad feeling about every game for the last month.
This will be only the third time in 21 games this year that Nebraska will be the betting favorite to win:
- @ Minnesota
- vs. Minnesota in Lincoln
- vs. Minnesota in Chicago

Fvck that they don’t deserve to be even asked with a Fvcking losing record..😡
Only reason why they’d get invited is because of the Woke game to break Pete Maravich scoring record.
Teams have to pay upfront 50,000 fee..

Nova would be a good team to bring in. But to be honest, PBA will be a sellout no matter the opponent.
Villanova has turned things around a bit. They had an injury or two and those guys are back. If Creighton gets them tomorrow it would not surprise me at all to see Villanova beat them
Yes I could see that. Jays still caught a break grabbing the 3 seed, though. Otherwise they would have played UConn tomorrow, which is a worse matchup for them.
Looks pretty bleak.. Always have to wait and see what happens in all these conferences tournaments.. There is over 360 some Division basketball schools..
