The Murphinator Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 We now have a quadrant 1 win after Michigan beat Ohio State! Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 We're now 4th in the first four out on bracketmatrix. Now hopefully we beat Illinois Quote Link to comment

Tough call, we need a tier one win, so it'd be nice if Michigan looked better. On the other hand, I'd rather face OSU in the conference semis than Purdue or Michigan State so the buckeyes need to keep winning. I see Michigan already won. Really Nebraska just needs to keep winning or none of this matters. Quote Link to comment
Cdog923 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Well, things just got a lot simpler: win the Big Ten Tournament, and you're in. Quote Link to comment
HS_Coach_C Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) Making it to the Big Ten championship game might get them to about a 50% chance of getting in the tournament. Winning it is obviously the only sure way to get in now. They had been able to point to zero bad losses to counter no good wins, now that's gone. Played not to lose today and it showed with how tight they were all game. Watson need a leader out there, he needs to step up his decision making Edited February 18, 2018 by HS_Coach_C Quote Link to comment
Wunderkind Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Is there any way this loss helps? If we move to the 5 seed in the Big 10 Tourney and then win two games in the tourney versus being a four seed and only winning one tourney game? Would that help out? Just trying to find a silver lining. Also realize we will have to win out the rest of the season and win at least a couple conference tourney games. Quote Link to comment

I think Michigan would have to lose to PSU or Maryland, or we'd have to lose a game to become the 5th seed. Quote Link to comment

Nothing we can do now except win the whole tournament...otherwise, we're not going to be in. If Nebraska gets to the Title game in the conference tourney they are in. It would be wins over Indiana, Penn St. (And likely) Michigan, and Michigan St... That's three nice wins to close the year, 11-2 in the last 13, sitting at 24-10. RPI is 60 now, if they close out as mentioned above, it will climb. Quote Link to comment

I've thought this for a couple weeks - that being the 5 seed and (hopefully) getting another win might actually be helpful. Of course, that meant losing a game coming down the stretch so it would probably be a negative overall. And we're tied with Michigan right now but hold the tie-breaker so we'd have to lose another one (at least) to get the 5 seed so it's definitely not in our interest now but had Michigan won another game or two it might have been an interesting debate.

HuskermanMike Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Win out and one in the tourney and we might get in. Might have a play-in-game as an 11 seed if we make it in. If not, we will be an NIT one seed. Win out and win two in the tourney, getting us to the CCG, and we are in. I am certain we will not have to play a play-in-game. Win out and win the whole thing= in. Quote Link to comment
