Will Nebrasketball Make the NCAA Tournament?

I unfortunately don't think we get in, but we would make history (wrong side) in doing so with all 61 B1G teams with 13 conference games getting in.  Also no watch party like 2014, which obviously means there isn't any confidence.  I just hope these guys all return and have a special year next year.  I'm heading rumblings of cope wanting to go overseas but I think that would be a dumb move on his part.

I agree, kind of odd to not even have a watch party if Miles & co really think we’re N?  

 
Davidson steals a bid.  The A10 becomes a three bid league.  

The ripple effect could kick NU down a line in the NIT

Bubble rundown and where conference tournaments stand:

Tournament Championship

EARNED AUTOMATIC BID (31)  -  1 Conference Tournament Remains To Be Completed

Should Earn At-Large Bid (27)

On the Bubble (24)

POWER 6

ACC: VIRGINIA (Duke, Clemson, North Carolina, Miami, NC State, Virgina Tech, Florida State, Louisville, Syracuse, Notre Dame)

Big 12: KANSAS (West Virginia, Texas Tech, TCU, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Baylor, Oklahoma State, Texas)

Big East: VILLANOVA (Xavier, Creighton, Seton Hall, Butler, Providence, Marquette)

Big Ten: MICHIGAN (Michigan State, Purdue, Ohio State, Nebraska, Penn State)

Pac-12: ARIZONA (USC, UCLA, Arizona State)

SEC: KENTUCKY (Auburn, Tennessee, Florida, Arkansas, Texas A&M, Missouri, Alabama, Mississippi State)

Other conferences with possible At-Large teams:

America East: UMBC (Vermont)

American: Sunday (Cincinnati, Wichita State, Houston)

Atlantic 10: DAVIDSON (Rhode Island, St. Bonaventure)

Conference USA: MARSHALL (Middle Tennessee, Western Kentucky)

Missouri Valley: LOYOLA-CHICAGO

Mountain West: SAN DIEGO STATE (Nevada)

Summit: SOUTH DAKOTA STATE

Sun Belt: GEORGIA STATE (Louisiana)

West Coast: GONZAGA (St. Mary's)

WAC: NEW MEXICO STATE

Conferences with only 1 bid no matter what:

Atlantic Sun: LIPSCOMB

Big Sky: MONTANA

Big South: RADFORD

Big West: CAL STATE FULLERTON

Colonial: CHARLESTON

Horizon: WRIGHT STATE

Ivy: PENN

Metro Atlantic: IONA

MAC: BUFFALO

MEAC: NC CENTRAL

Northeast: LIU BROOKLYN

Ohio Valley: MURRAY STATE

Patriot: BUCKNELL

Southern: UNC GREENSBORO

Southland: SF AUSTIN

Southwestern: TEXAS SOUTHERN

Best Case Scenario for Bubble Teams: All Conferences with an At-Large Lock win the tournament - didn't happen

That would mean 32 auto-bids + 26 At-Large Locks = 58 Spots taken in the field

That would leave 10 At-Large Spots for the 24 Remaining Bubble Teams

The Pecking Order for the remaining Bubble Teams is probably something like this:

1. St. Bonaventure

2. St. Mary's

3. Virginia Tech

4. Florida State

5. Alabama

6. NC State

7. USC

8. UCLA

9. Middle Tennessee

10. Oklahoma

11. Texas

12. Louisville

13. Western Kentucky

14. Baylor                       

15. Arizona State

16. Syracuse

17. Notre Dame

18. Nebraska

19. Marquette

20. Vermont

21. Mississippi State

22. Oklahoma State

23. Louisiana

24. Penn State

Oregon

Georgia

Utah

Washington

Boise State
