Don't care what Brad Underwood says. They are not all great kids.

Duquesne winning the A-10 should help the Huskers.

Agree to disagree...

Obviously not. There are many issues with the NET, but using name recognition isn't one of them.

Do you think you or I would keep our jobs if we we were just accused of the same things he has been indicted of? The difference is that he's good at putting a ball in a basket & his "employer" knows that by the time he pleads guilty to a reduced charge after the season he will no longer be their problem.

The judge also said the university could appeal, but they chose not to because they got what they really wanted. His ruling said basically said it wasn't fair that Shannon couldn't make money while suspended. Accusations are one thing, but the district attorney found enough evidence to indict him. And yes, I get the innocent until proven guilty argument.

ESPN has Nebraska as an 8 seed in the South Region playing New Mexico in Memphis. CBS has them as a 9 seed playing Colorado State in the East Region in Brooklyn. Computer rankings are 29 at Ken Pom, 23 at Bart Torvik, 33 in the NET, 32 at Evan Miya, 37 in BPI & 22 in SOR. Bart Torvik projects them as an 8 seed with an 90.2% chance to make the field.

And had they called those two he wouldn't have been playing. Just those two obvious ones. I know they missed dozens of fouls both ways because B1G officiating is nothing if not inconsistent. Hell, if Illinois had any guts he wouldn't even be on the team. I know if I was a woman on their campus, I would be filing Title Nine complaints about them allowing an indited rapist on campus. I know that his lawyers went to court to get him reinstated, but the school caved immediately because they didn't really want to suspend him but did so because of media pressure. The university & especially the athletic department got exactly what they wanted. They appeared to be "tough", but had no choice when a judge ruled that his rights had been violated, they didn't appeal.

Did Nebraska play poorly in the second half? Yes, but without Shannon Illinois isn't in position to put up 58.

Hard to win when it's 8 on 5 in the second half. Shannon should have fouled out with about 10 minutes to go. Ran over Lawrence right in front of the ref & no call. Grabbed Allick when he was trying to inbound the ball as he got up should have been fouls 3 & 5 ( they actually called on on him in between).

Diop looked pretty good considering he doesn't play much.

Officials have screwed Wisconsin the last two trips down the court.

We probably don't want to go 100 mph with Illinois, but we won't wnt to go too slow either.

Huskers could move up to a 6 if they win today & lose close tomorrow (preferably to Purdue). If they lose close to Illinois today they should stay where they are. They could put three B1G teams in the same region as long as they wouldn't face another B1G team until the sweet 16.

Huskers are a 4.5 point underdog with an over/under of 153.5. ESPN BPI gives them a 29.6% chance to win. Rice is out, Keita is available for emergencies & Ulis is suspended. GBR!

I was wrong about Wisconsin, so hopefully Nebraska will shoot great tomorrow too.

Twice it's been out off Indiana and they missed it.

Doesn't matter how many seconds are on the shot clock if you miss the fact that it was out off Indiana.

Michigan is looking for a new coach. Not a big surprise, but sometimes AD's have trouble pulling the plug on a former great player - look how long Georgetown stuck with Patrick Ewing.

Gotta love a good spit take.

Edey is likely NPOY, so he gets all the calls & his teammates get a lot. Izzo is the Dean of B1G coaches so his team gets a lot of calls too. It's probably really confusing for the officials because they don't know who to screw over.

I pull my info from ESPN, so not always the most reliable lines but close enough for government work.

Money's going on the Huskers & under. Lines are NU by 5.5 over/under of 145.5.

Would have been nice if they hadn't gotten the tip in at the end and the game went to OT last night.

Huskers are a 3.5 point favorite with an over/under of 146.5. ESPN BPI gives them a 72.1% chance to win. Rice is out, Keita is available for emergencies, Ulis is suspended. GBR!
