So were Petteway's after his junior year but he left. What Palmer should do is declare, find out what the NBA advisory committee thinks he needs to work on come back and work on it over the summer.

Somewhere on the board I suggested an 8 year rotation of Omaha, Minneapolis, DC & NYC (Brooklyn) once and Chicago & Indianapolis twice. I still think it would be a great plan.

It did include the Big 8 tournament and would have included any NCAA wins if they had gotten any.

ACC is playing in Brooklyn this year so it's not available thw right week either.

Figured you did, but sometimes you have to ask the obvious questions.

Did you drop the Marist & LBSU games in your calculations?

Had NU won against UCF, they'd have played head to head and there would be an answer to that question.

Part of that is because there are only two guys in the class and Heiman is a project.

Because Miles said he was throwing him under the bus.

Up to a 22.5% chance to win out according to ESPN.

On his postgame radio interview he threw Kenya Hunter under the buss as the assistant who convinced him to give him a breather.

Huskers may not have any "good" wins, but at least they aren't sitting there with 3 or 4 "bad" losses like teams B & D.

All the games are scary. Maryland is fighting to get on the bubble. Illinois plays a style unlike any othe B1G team and hasn't given up on their season. Morgan from Indiana can take over a game. Penn State is in the same boat as us except they have a little more work to do.

Using the same percentages it would go up to 21%. Winning at Illinois is the key. That is the only game they are expected to lose and it is basically a toss up (52% for Illinois).

Top 3 are very good, the next 2-3 are pretty good. The problem is the other 8 are bad or very bad. The B1G is very top heavy this year (like the SEC usually is). Nebraska's biggest problem is that the only "good" win they have is Michigan. They lost every other game they played against good teams (KU, MSU, Creighton, Purdue, OSU). They don't have any "bad" losses, but one good win and no bad losses is not a great resume. They have played better lately and hopefully the committee takes that into account, but there is no guarantee. There is a chance that 22 wins gets them in, but I'd feel more comfortable if they won out (23 wins) and be mad if they won out plus 1 in the conference tournament (24 wins) and still didn't get in.

Updated ESPN win percentages give the Huskers a 12.6% chance of winning out.

Oops. Apparently reading comprehension is important.

I had Pike, Lue, Hamilton, Maric but thought Hoppen would have been. Had Hamilton but forgot about Smith.

With OSU beating Purdue last night, it gives them in best shot at the #1 seed. Assuming the Huskers don't completely collapse and get the #4 seed, they would get OSU in the semifinals. I think the matchup with OSU is better for Nebraska than Purdue would have been.

Playing in Dayton wouldn't be too bad as long as they didn't have to travel to San Diego or Boise if they won.

Could be anyone, but Iowa seems less likely since they don't bother playing defense. Iowa could be the cure for whatever is causing their issues. Iowa might have to score 110 to beat Michigan if they figure out their offensive issues.

Wichita looks like it is the closest 1st/2nd round site. Next would be either Detroit or Nashville. Second weekend could be in Omaha if the Huskers can win a couple of games - Gotta break that 0-fer in the dance sometime.

I wouldn't be surprised if Penn State beat them in Happy Valley. PSU has looked better of late.

Need to get a 3rd foul on Mason early in yhe half.

Not sure. Last several games it has been a "game time decision", so we probably won't know until late.
