As we have all read ad nauseum from Jerry Palm and the other "experts" this year, the big knock on Nebraska's tourney resume is our lack of quadrant 1 wins. In theory, if Michigan wins their last 2 games vs PSU and Maryland, they could vault back into the top 30 heading into a conference tourney matchup with Nebraska. But then if we beat them again in the quarterfinals, they could conceivably fall back out of the top 30, which would mean that we would only get a single quadrant 1 win, despite beating Michigan twice (as they would still be a top 50 opponent that we would have beaten on a neutral court.)
