I posted this in the 2016-17 Season Notes thread originally but figured it would be worthwhile to start a thread surrounding any tournament talk for the Huskers. Here is my general outline for what we need to do the rest of the way to have a realistic shot at the tournament: This team will continue to hit highs and lows but the good news is in the B1G this year every single team is beatable and we've seen that so far with us winning @ MD and @ Indiana It will come down to us defending our home court. It's crucial our fans turn out and support this squad, they deserve it after the start to conference play. I was pleasantly surprised by the win on Sunday but this is where it becomes tough for a young team that is tasting success for the first time- finding the ability to sustain it. IF Nebraska is going to make the tournament, home games against Iowa and Northwestern are games that the team needs to win. That is what tournament teams do. For us to get to 10-6 I think we need to win 8 of the following 10 conference games IMO: vs Iowa vs Northwestern vs Ohio State @ Rutgers @ Northwestern @ Iowa Penn State vs Illinois @ Minnesota vs Michigan Games that I think aren't very likely for us to win: @ Michigan vs Purdue vs Michigan State vs Wisconsin @ Ohio State @ Michigan State win 8 of 10 from the first group and sneak 1 or 2 from that second group and I don't see how you can possibly keep NU out. Our RPI will only continue to rise as we win and the rest of our out of conference schedule continues to win. Bottom line, win the games you're supposed to and steal 1 or 2 more and the rest takes care of itself

i have to imagine so. this team will continue to hit highs and lows but the good news is in the B1G this year every single team is beatable and we've seen that so far with us winning @ MD and @ Indiana It will come down to us defending our home court.

Done

On mobile so can't make profile but:

Got into the game for a little today but didn't contribute much. It's great to see him still engaged and into the game on the sidelines though, we will need Jack at some point this season

Might've found ourselves a sleeper here boys:

Changed vote to Florida

This dude has been tweeting a decent string of Nebraska stuff last few days:

DNP Coaches Decision tonight. My goodness how far this kid seems to have fallen in terms of confidence. Never thought we'd be at the point where he wouldn't even see the floor but can't argue with the results. Between him and Fuller it's really disappointing to have 2 scholarships going to guys who seemingly won't be providing an impact the remainder of this season

Ball game. Hell of a win for Nebrasketball

Just inbound the ball successfully and we win. Hell just launch it to the other end of the floor

... guy goes into Bloomington and wins. Absolutely insane how we seemingly do this year after year with a big win on the road in conference. Do the Huskers make a run here or is this the high point in the season?

Clouse said on 1620 the zone yesterday the white blood cell issue stemmed from an issue with his appendix and he had surgery to get it resolved. Sounds as though he should be fine moving forward, which is good considering he might not be able to have that redshirt year we all thought he would need

So a LSU Commit of over a year is going to "announce" he is committed to LSU and then still OV here after If you don't think ESPN has overstepped their boundaries in CFB you're crazy

No clue if this is good or bad for us but:

Is that 1 central?

Can we update the poll with his final choices

This whole thing is such a joke
