Hooked on Huskers Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Didn't make sense. Gophers: 7W-10L conference, 7th in B1G standings, 18W-12L overall yet Minnesota still appeared in bubble tracker race. Quote Link to comment
Something Clever Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Because Dayton won they bumped us.. Lunardi says we are the first team out.. Need a must win Sunday It figures. I hate spiders. You're thinking of Richmond Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 I think we have the tie breaker over Ohio St. I don't think so. We are 1-1 against them and the next tie-breaker is record against the best teams in the league in order. We both lost to Michigan but they beat Wisconsin and we'd have to lose to Wisconsin to tie them. I think when someone said no worse than fifth they meant we'd tie for fifth but I think we could still be the #6 seed. Quote Link to comment

Simple as this-- beat Wisconsin and I think we are in. Quote Link to comment

And their SOS is Top 5 last I saw. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 California is the one team that really hurt itself with a home loss to Utah. That's the fourth loss in five games for the Bears and dropped them off the bracket. Nebraska took their spot and is the last team in the field. CBS Bracketology Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 The above is from Joe Lunardi's latest Bracketology. Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 The above is from Joe Lunardi's latest Bracketology. CBS had us as a #12 play in against Providence with the winner facing North Carolina. I think I like CBS better Quote Link to comment

I think I like CBS better --- I'm sure it will change a bunch between now and then, but if Lunardi was correct as of today, that would mean we would play Dayton in the Play-in game as the 2 last teams in - In Dayton (As that is where the First Four is held). That would be a true default road game. Quote Link to comment
HANC Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Don't want to be Mr. Negative, but a serious question........Don't we have to beat Wiscy to "stay" in the dance, which is why people are saying "beat Wiscy and we are in"..... yes, if we beat the Badgers, I think we are in regardless of how the tourney plays out. If we lose to Wiscy and then happen to drop 1st game in tourney (which is possible....we have lost to a handful of the teams we may play), then I think we would be back OUT..... meaning, Wiscy is probably a must win for us to be IN. Yes or No Quote Link to comment

If trey lose I think they need to win 2 in the big 10 tournament to get consideration. Quote Link to comment

Yes or No If we win we're in. If we lose, we're not necessarily out, but we have more work to do. Quote Link to comment
