Minnesota_husker Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I dont quote this to be a jerk, but this has some great info: http://www.huskerboard.com/index.php?/topic/69252-post-season-tournament-possibilities/ I would say if they win out and win 2 in the B1G tourney they are a lock. I think the 2 big final games are @Indiana and VS. Wisconsin. I think they can lose 1 more and win two in the B1G tourney and be in the dance Lose 2 and win 2 in the B1G tourney= on bubble but out. Will not be easy at all but people are taking notice. Need to win @Illinois next. Quote Link to comment

True2tRA Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Ya I guess I didn't need to start the thread. Good article though. Points out most of the possibilities and how we stack up to other teams on the bubble. Quote Link to comment

SouthLincoln Husker Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 This is just a snap shot in time and really means nothing as of right now. If you check those teams today, they have all lost games and have dropped their RPIs into the 60s & less. The thing you have to remember is that the author of the article is assuming that these teams will also take care of business, but that does not always happen. Due to the strength of the conference, the Big 10 should get at least 6 teams in & Minnesota is not a shoe in the way they have beem playing. Also, there is a good chance that Petteway might get conference player of the year and that is another plus. Quote Link to comment
True2tRA Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Good point. Having a conference standout, if not national standout, like Petteway could be a big help as far as getting in. Quote Link to comment
Foppa Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Just because I like looking at this stuff and I'm drinking as much cool aid as possible. Nebraska has lost 10 games. the combined record of those ten losses is 182-71. They have a 72% winning percentage. 6 of those losses are currently in the top 25. What I'm saying is that really, other than maybe UAB, Purdue and PSU, we have lost to some pretty dang good teams and beat almost everyone else we should beat. On a side note, I'm surprised that Umass isn't ranked. They are 18th in RPI. If they were, then 7 out of 10 losses are ranked. Well done. UAB was meant to be a tourney contender, so I don't think it looks that bad. Depending on how the season wraps up, I hope that if Nebraska finishes pretty strong, the selection committee would take into consideration not so much the overall record...but the last two months down the stretch, if it's a good finish.

SouthLincoln Husker Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 We will need to stay healthy and hopefully find another gunner on the team. Whether that is Ray, Tai or Nick. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirts007 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Is selection computers or people or both? Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 Is selection computers or people or both? People but they look at computer ratings and such. Quote Link to comment

Points out most of the possibilities and how we stack up to other teams on the bubble. Merged the threads. Good find on the article but dammit quit duplicating my threads. Quote Link to comment

HSKR Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Think about this for a second.... lost to Michigan 71-70 lost to Purdue 70-64 lost to PSU 58-54 All close games we could have won and if we had we would be 19-7 overall and 11-3, alone in first in conference and most likely rated in the top #15. Pour some kool aid for me too! 1 Quote Link to comment
mrandyk Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 One more down. Just dismantled two teams that we lost close games to on the road, I fear for the three teams we are about to play that couldn't even beat us the first time around. These guys might just head to the B10 tourney on a 9 game win streak. The selection committee likes hot teams, right? Quote Link to comment
SouthLincoln Husker Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Nebraska - 46 Minnesota - 47 We just need to take care of business! Quote Link to comment
