Shocked. I wasn't surprised the didn't make the NCAA's but a NIT five seed?

ASU & OU have proved that you can get in before Christmas. Neither did anything since the calendar changed to 2018.

NIT here we come Not sure how OU got in either.

Not sure how ASU got in.

Bruce Pearl cheat? ESPN slurp the SEC's butt? Surely not!

Which would be fine if they didn't double the print price over the last 4 years and give less in the print version. Monday & Tuesday are down to only 3 sections (from 5). Nothing like getting less for more.

It's called "Subscriber Plus" and complete BS. The cost of my weekend only subscription has basically doubled in the last 3 or 4 years too.

I have a weekend subscription because my boss brings the paper into the office every day. I checked today. If you want full unlimited access to the website, even with a 7 days a week subscription, requires paying extra. The first installment on Sunday was complete in the paper. The second installment was abbreviated in the paper and ended by directing readers to the web to read the full article.

I completely get the "Nothing's Free" part, but if I subscribe to the paper or pick it up at the newsstand I should get the same content I would get online except videos and some pictures.

Not only is it behind the pay wall, but the version in the paper was a shortened version. Did you see the article that Shatel had in the Sunday paper? Talked about how he got his start, but then threw out a couple lines about having to pay to read OWH content (it's not behind the pay wall). http://www.omaha.com/sports/shatel-in-ever-changing-world-of-journalism-connection-with-reader/article_1948e5e6-13be-5452-be45-2ff7c7358238.html

Also seemed to be on a VERY short leash with Underwood. Didn't seem to have a lot of confidence by the end of the season because of it.

If Northwestern hadn't let their press clippings get in their head, they had all the pieces to be as good as last year. They needed to listen to more Public Enemy (Don't believe the hype).

As disappointed as I am in how they played yesterday and the fact that they are unlikely to make the tournament, if you had you told me in October they would be a 1 or 2 seed in the NIT I'd have been happy. Early in the season I was hoping for a middle of the pack finish in the B1G and they finished tied for 4th. As the season progressed my hopes/expectations changed, but that doesn't mean the season was a complete disaster. Hopefully they show up to play in the NIT and use missing the NCAA's as motivation to improve in the off-season.

CBS Sports had NU as -4.5 & now it's the other way, so maybe they had a typo.

Huskers are 4.5 point favorites. Kind of surprised by that line.

They did because they didn't have a conference tournament. Now that they do have a tournament, the tournament winner gets the auto bid. Only the top four get in the tournament and it played on a Saturday/Sunday so it doesn't interfere with school.

They combined to go 28/50 at the line. Ouch!

Michigan goes 2-17 in regulation on 3's & Ryan Kriener (Iowa) leads all scorers with 14.

I was just getting ready to post that

Maryland & Wisconsin combine to get 8 bench points.

My boss brings a paper into the office every day so I get to read it at lunch.

Good choice!

Read this at lunch. Pretty good read.

They lost in Lincoln on a bad foul called on a 3 pointer. Michigan got three free throws with one second on the clock to send it to OT.

The could have practiced and gone to the games (both home & away). We do not have any transfers sitting out this year. The only player who sat out this year was walk on Justin Costello - he redshirted.
