Winning two of the next 4 will make the magic number 20. They go 0fer in the next 4 they will have to hit 22 IMO. Probably winning all 7 remaining games... 6 and one in the Big 10 Tournament... 5 and 2 in the Big 10 Tournament
Men's Bracketology: UNC is in tourney trouble ... again
For yet another year, the Tar Heels' underwhelming start has them on the fringes of the tournament field.www.espn.com
9 seed.
I know Im a downer but I would be really surprised if they win any of the next 4.
It DOES look tough…. Sad we lost two VERY winnable gameMen's Bracketology: UNC is in tourney trouble ... again

If we win 2 of the next 4 (We will be favored in 0 of them) we will need to win 3 of the last 7 and we probably get in.
That is a nice surprise. I saw Oregon State play in person last week and didn't think they would win another game all year, let alone knocking off Arizona.
Saw that. Probably hurt Zona more than it helped Nebraska. Otherwise it's a non-event unless Oregon St goes undefeated for the rest of the season.
Yeah, Nebraska will still be lucky to make the NIT, right?
Likewise. Let’s see if you’re still shitting on any good things going on with the basketball team.
Yes, focus on one post. Jesus, if I wanted to post on the sunshine pumper forum, I would join HuskerMax.
Be careful with your comments. The sunshine pumper's feelings will get hurt.
I used to be one of them. Then I realized my happy-times-only comments on message boards wasn't going to magically make Frank Solich not suck at playcalling, or make [insert any of a handful of Nebraska basketball coaches] realize that rebounding is a skill that should be practiced regularly 😑
I wonder if these guys have fathered a bunch of kids. Sounds exactly like my kids elementary basketball team unfortunately.
Unfortunately - the way this team is up and down and gets blown out on the road - I don’t see them making the Dance. I do see them making the NIT though. So it’s progress but a bit disappointing.
There's a huge difference between a sunshine pumper and a person that tries to instill some logic and reality into an argument. So if I understand this correctly, if people don't like the logic then it's considered doomsday? Interesting interpretation of the matter at hand.I don't think you have to be either a sunshine pumper or a doomsday Nostradamus....a fan who hopes for the best could be a good balance...
Que? They have done pretty well bouncing back after terrible road showings. I hope it continues
Careful, you’ll be targeted as a hater for being realistic.
Yep, I posted my opinion in another thread and was told I couldn't be taken seriously. Followed that up with metrics looking at other conference teams and how huskers compared to them. Was told I was from peanut gallery and being negative. Replied again and asked questions. Those "experts" never replied.
Huh? Losing to a quad 2 team on the road doesn’t magically make it an uphill battle now.
It’s a “body of work” when being evaluated for the tournament. Nebraska at home is top notch but getting boat raced on the road doesn’t bode well. There are articles that discuss the importance of the road record because the tournament isn’t played on the home court. Fact.
Agreed, but saw a stat and it may have been on here that top 10 ranked teams are only winning 38% of road games this year. It may not help Huskers but does show winning on the road is tough in college basketball. And to add to your point Huskers getting blown looks bad also.
I said at least two a while back but one of those went to Rutgers. That one and Minnesota stings.
Tournament isn’t played at the opponents court. Fact.
