Omaha-Husker Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 B1G going to a 20 game conference schedule next season. Makes it less likely to have such a wonky schedule like we did this year. Doesn't help that traditional quality teams like IU and Wiscy are so terrible this year either. Also playing at MSG is not worth the awful scheduling and having to play conference games in the non-con schedule. Makes it more difficult to put together a schedule and just made for a brutal two week stretch. Play it in Brooklyn or the right weekend if you want NYC that bad. Quote Link to comment

ACC is playing in Brooklyn this year so it's not available thw right week either. Quote Link to comment

I do not know if that would include postseason play because we got bounced in the first round that year. It did include the Big 8 tournament and would have included any NCAA wins if they had gotten any. Quote Link to comment
The Murphinator Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) Latest update has us in only 9 brackets, but we are now one of the first 4 out. Penn State is now one of the next 4 out and are in 5 brackets. Edited February 17, 2018 by The Murphinator Quote Link to comment

Didn't look that up. I meant more in general, the ACC and B1G aren't going to play in NYC every year so figure out a rotation in Brooklyn with them and play on the right weekend going forward. Playing the same weekend as the Valley is going to be so awful. The B1G going from the game that leads into the selection show to a pure afterthought the entire weekend. Quote Link to comment

Somewhere on the board I suggested an 8 year rotation of Omaha, Minneapolis, DC & NYC (Brooklyn) once and Chicago & Indianapolis twice. I still think it would be a great plan. 2 Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 USC, Texas, Kansas St, and Providence are the teams I think are seeing their way out the most down the stretch Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) Unless upsets occur we will need to sweep Michigan or possibly beat Penn St back-to-back if they can get to the 5th spot. Edited February 17, 2018 by BIG ERN 3 Quote Link to comment

HS_Coach_C Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 With the way some other bubble teams have played lately, I think the only way Nebraska gets in is to win their next 4 games. Winning 5 would basically mean they're a lock, 4 they should be pretty confident, 3 probably means a 1 seed in the NIT. Quote Link to comment

Doesn't Ohio state hold the tie breaker over MSU right now? If so, we really need tOSU to win out. We matchup so much better with them than MSU 1 Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) Lots of important games today for the projected 9-11 teams and bubble teams. Texas vs Oklahoma Miami vs Syracuse Providence vs Butler Kansas State vs Iowa State Boise State vs Air Force and several more. Also UCF won a game today.

That '90-01 team made a run to the finals of the Big 8 Tournament, which would have added 2 wins to their season total. That team was 24-6 in the regular season. I was a freshman in high school that year, and that team was so fun to watch and follow all year long. They had to play a very late game on Friday night of the NCAA tournament, and didn't play well. Xavier also shot very well that night (54% from the field, and 6 of 14 from 3's. It's too bad NU couldn't get past that 1st game, because they had the talent to make a deep run.
