K-State doing the Huskers no favors tonight, blowing a 22-point lead to West Virginia. Headed to OT now.

It’s all about winning that 1st game, no sense worry about losing to Houston in the next round..
Agreed and if Nebraska wins a game in the tournament, the whole state will shut down and declare it a holiday
I hear ya, but this is a Sweet 16 caliber team with the right matchups. Houston would be as bad of a matchup as possible with the way they defend the perimeter.
Houston is going to be a HORRIBLE matchup especially after that first round when you get no time to prepare.
For NU, it would be a nightmare because NU's main ball handlers would get eaten up.
With that said, Houston doesn't score a lot, so you the game tends to stay close.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves, this is NU basketball. Lets focus on finishing the season strong first and getting in.
You never know. Illinois looked like a nightmare matchup with they way they get offensive boards but we had them beat (almost)
NU is currently 34th in KenPom

Actually good to be a 9 seed right now. If we win out or go 2-1 and then take a game in the B1G tourney (or better) we move up to a 7 or 6. If we go 1-2 we probably move back to the 10 spot. We could possibly go 2-1 down the stretch and 0-1 in the B1G tourney, that might hold us in the 8/9 spot? But I think, with 3 games left and the conference tournament, the odds we move out of the 9 spot (one way or another) are fairly high.
Iowa has worked themselves onto the bubble according to lunardi. Good to see Texas on the bubble as well.. Nebraska has a better resume
Still don’t see more than 6 teams entering the tournament when it’s all said and done..
Wisky loses tonight Hoiskers move into the 4 seed.
Wisky is falling apart .. love to see it
Its a feel good story that tugs at the heart strings
They were smoke and mirrors at the start of the season. Saturday vs Illinois will be their "jizz" game either way...
I know dudes here love Chucky but he sucks.
AJ Storr is leaving after this year and he is their only athlete.
They will probably finish the season losing like 9 of 11
might be our highest ranking in the history of that metric
I find it amusing that Storr could barely get on the court for St. John's but he's pretty much the Floppers best player.
Andy Katz will probably have to move Wisconsin off #3 seed line. Maybe.
Team that had the most sex crimes wins… damnit
Wake Forest is losing to Notre Dame....that would be very good for us, as that would be a terrible loss for Wake.
Texas blowing out Texas Tech on the road is not good.
Texas blowing out Texas Tech on the road is not good.
Win percentage against number 1seed . We would have it if Purdue is that seed
Nebraska and Northwestern both went 1 – 1 against Purdue. The second tiebreaker would be record against the number two seed, which appears to be Illinois. We went 0-1 against Illinois, but Northwestern went 1-1. So if I understand it correctly, Northwestern would have the tiebreaker.
Huskers only play Purdue once this year, and won that game.
Thus, Nebraska would have the better winning percentage against Purdue than Northwestern.
And as the season goes on, Storr is becoming that guy that scores but doesn't help his team, not his fault, but the way the badgers try to play offense is just brutal.
Gard has stayed there longer than I would have thought though but that is a shit job. Ryan turned that program around, they were dog shit for 40 years before him and they are clearly going backwards.
I stand corrected… was going through this with a buddy last night and he said we went 1-1 against Purdue, so I took his word for it.
Thanks for the correction!
