huskerguy Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Nebraska sucks against Nothern Colorado but beats #12 Oklahoma. With already 12 wins I think they could make the tourney. Generally teams with 16-18 wins make it Quote Link to comment
BigRedJake Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I was so torn in that N/UNC game :/ Quote Link to comment
KansasHusker Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 we have 11 wins I believe not 12, and when we had 18 wins a couple years ago all we made was the NIT... Quote Link to comment

huskerstag Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 IMO we'll need at least another 9 wins to make the NCAA. With the big XII looking to be down from recent years, we'll need 10 wins in the conference to make the dance. While that looks like an awfully tall order, its not impossible if we can win all our home games and steal one or two on the road, maybe at K St. and CU. Should be an exciting conference season, but we can't afford to lose more than 1 home game with this squad in this conference. Quote Link to comment
Benard Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 ncaa tourney here we come. Quote Link to comment
dbetz23 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 NU always seems to pull of one or two upsets a year in the big 12. Last year was OSu, which was #3 at the time. I wouldnt put too much into this game. If we can go on and beat Texas, Iowa St. and Colorado, who are are in the top 40 or so, then wecan talk about a "good" team. Quote Link to comment
NamelessHusker Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 16 wins wont cut it when your strength of schedule is rated 256 in the nation. Quote Link to comment
Benard Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 16 wins wont cut it when your strength of schedule is rated 256 in the nation. no but 4th in the big 12 will. Here we come! Quote Link to comment
NUpolo8 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I thought that 20 wins was the magic number but oh well, with 19 or 20 or even 21 and a first round exit in the Big 12 tourney, that will not cut it. Â Here's hoping Collier can save his job and win a few in KC and get to the NCAA's Quote Link to comment
nu4everfan15 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 the big 12 is not a very strong conference so i think that they have a chance. If they can play strong defense and get enough offense out at critical times and pull a few upsets on some south opponents than it should be a conference tournament time decision.

jephinlinc Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 To put things in perspective, before NU beat Kansas State earlier this evening, the Huskers were ranked #139 ( http://www.sportsline.com/collegebasketbal...olls/rpi/index2 ), Kansas is #144(!), K-State was ranked #52 and Oklahoma was #91. Our strength of schedule is killing us (again)! We are far and away the lowest ranked team with 11 wins (again, before the K-State win). Peterson needs to put some meat in the pre-season schedule. I'd rather have the Huskers lose to a Duke or a Kentucky than blow out the patsies he sets up for them. At least they'd get to see how a class program is run. South Dakota State (#220)? Chicago State (#275)? Longwood (#298)? Northern Colorado (#315)? How can any team improve and/or get ready for league play when they're not going up against any decent competion?
