Yale would more than likely beat Nebraska. A lot of senior leadership on that team.

2 more teams win their first tourney game..
To be fair, most of the teams in the Top 250 would be pretty likely to beat Nebraska.

Watching these games is maddening. All of the schools, big or small, have a way better big man than NU... and most seem to have that shooter that can be counted on for the 3. We are so far from that it isn't even funny.
Which is why NU is so hot and cold. We are missing more than a big man.

it is crazy how many lower seeds are taking out the higher seeds! how many 12 seeds have beaten 5 seeds? Crazy!
This is silly -
Either you are saying that we fall somewhere around 126-150 in the country which would mean that MOST (about half ) should beat NU or you are saying that teams around 200/250 would be likely to beat us (which is not happening)

We were 6-17 against the Top 250 this year. So we had about a 26% chance of beating the Top 250 teams that we played. Meaning we were pretty likely to get beat.
Not really. You can speculate about what we might have done against the teams that we didn't play. Or you can look at what actually happened against the teams that we did play.
According to KenPom.com, we were #100. So we were slightly above the range that you gave that you would consider accurate for my statement.
But we also lost to Samford who is #224 (so we're actually 6-18 - I was assuming they were lower) so I don't know how you can say with much certainty that would would have beaten anyone in the Top 250. Last year we lost to Incarnate Word who was #228.

No, he didn't spin his words.. unless you were taking them 100% literal. Most of the time it isn't hard to get the jest of what a person is saying, unless you don't like what is being said then people have a tendency to take things very literal.

facts are facts, every team in this field has players above NU, even 12 seeds. Our freshman, imo, would not start for very many of those teams at all.
Nobody is saying (myself included) that we are better then the teams in this tournament. Especially 12 seeds - no way in the world that I would say the 2015-2016 version of NU was a top 50 team in the country. However there is a lot of room between 65th-250th - We fall much closer to 65th then 250th. Not sure what your facts are facts statement means - but if it relates to losing to a team around 250th. We also beat a team that is in the top 10. We could both pick outliers like this but that doesn't really account for the other 30 games each season.
