Mavric Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Huskers the #11 seed against the #6 Seed Baylor. The winner would play the winner of Creighton's game (#3 seed). Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 Baylor was #6 in the Big XII at 9-9 in the regular season. They won three Big XII tournament games before losing to Iowa State in the finals. They beat Kentucky, Oklahoma State (twice), Iowa State and Oklahoma during the season. They are pretty balanced on offense with four players averaging between 13.5 and 11.0 points per game. They are #32 in RPI. Huskers are #41. Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Long and athletic. They will sit in a zone. They beat Dayton, Kentucky, and Colorado in the non con. And gave Syracuse all they wanted out in Maui. On top of all that I'm sure they'll wear some hideous color of uniforms to distract shooters. Quote Link to comment
Red Tape Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Unbelievable that Creighton and Nebraska could meet in the second round... Love it. GBR Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Brady Heslip is the shooter you can't lose sight of on defense. And Cory Jefferson is GOOD. They crash the offensive glass relentlessly. And can match any team athletically. They go eight deep like NU. Quote Link to comment

Danny Bateman Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Clark Kellogg seems really high on Baylor as a sleeper. They are indeed a team with size.

huKSer Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Unbelievable that Creighton and Nebraska could meet in the second round... Love it. GBR Then Wisconsin maybe? Note to self: be off the grid on Friday to prevent a Husker loss 2 Quote Link to comment
Hayseed Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I like it. A very fair arrangement and ironic that this year's Husker team reminds me of the very athletic Baylor team that whipped our ass in the Big 12 Tournament a few years ago. And then on to a Creighton rematch which will be a good game for either team.....assuming Creighton doesn't choke. 1 Quote Link to comment

We're going to need Shields and Petteway to be clicking on all cylinders and our shooters to be hot to win this one. Kenpom has them at the #7 offense in the nation. That being said, I don't know what the hell a Kenpom is... Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Clark Kellogg seems really high on Baylor as a sleeper. Yeah, he had to get that in there at least twice. Why shouldn't he??? This is pretty much the same team that ran through the NIT to the title and are again athletic as anyone. Their only "bad" loses are at Texas Tech and west Virginia (who will be in the NIT).

I replied over there but the page has since been edited to say TBA. It was here that said 11am EST before: http://www.ncaa.com/game/basketball-men/d1/2014/03/21/nebraska-baylor Quote Link to comment
