GSG Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I'm not saying I would rather go to the NIT, I'm just saying it's not a bad thing to go to the NIT. Quote Link to comment
STL Husker Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I'm not saying I would rather go to the NIT, I'm just saying it's not a bad thing to go to the NIT. Ok, I misunderstood you then. I agree that there is alot to gain from the NIT as long as we don't tank if we miss out on the NCAA. Playing at home should minimize that though. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 Today's Bubble Tracker from Huskers Illustrated. What happened: Southern Miss won - trying to get on the bubble Arkansas beat Kentucky - really helps their case Florida Gulf Coast lost - could have helped us UAB wins - helps our "worst" loss look better Green Bay won - trying to get on the bubble N Dakota State won - trying to get on the bubble Indiana won - helps since we play IU twice and Iowa only once UTEP lost - long shot for them to get in Oregon won @ UCLA in double OT - Oregon needed a big win to try to get on the bubble and that sure helped We got a little help but a couple teams that really needed a win got it.

Mavric Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 ESPN Bubble Watch: Locks: Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Ohio State Should be In: Iowa Work to Do: Minnesota, Nebraska Nebraska [16-11 (8-7), RPI: 50, SOS: 21] On Thursday, an Omaha radio host told the Watch that folks in Nebraska were having a collective "Chicken Little" moment over the Cornhuskers' 11-point road loss at Illinois on Wednesday. It wasn't great, of course, but as most bracket projections held on Thursday, Nebraska was still in roughly the same place it was before: on the bubble, in the game, but still in desperate need of a forward leap. Here's the game plan: First, thank Missouri, Tennessee, St. John's, Georgetown and everyone else for being such forgiving bubble competitors. Next, don't lose at home to Northwestern. In that order.

Mavric Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 Agree, minnesota. I don't think we win the last two so the #5 seed and a potential second-round matchup with Iowa would be a great position to be in. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirts007 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 How would we hold the tie breaker over tOSU? Quote Link to comment
Blackshirts007 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I think PSU will beat NW. and NW will end up #12 Quote Link to comment
Minnesota_husker Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 How would we hold the tie breaker over tOSU? We dont tie with OSU tho-- We have a better record(10-8) to their (9-9) But if we did. Since we split with OSU it goes to the second part which is record against the top team in B1G- Our win over MSU gives us that. 1. Results of head-to-head competition during the regular season. 2. Each team's record vs. the team occupying the highest position in the final regular season standings (or in the case of a tie for the championship, the next highest position in the regular season standings) continuing down through the standings until one team gains an advantage. A. When arriving at another pair of tied teams while comparing records, use each team's record against the collective tied teams as a group (prior to their own tie-breaking procedures), rather than the performance against the individual tied teams. B. When comparing records against a single team or a group of teams, the higher winning percentage shall prevail, even if the number of games played against the team or group is unequal (i.e., 2-0 is better than 3-1); in the case of tied percentages vs. the team or group of 1.000 or .000 the following shall apply: 2-0 is better than 1-0; 0-1 is better than 0-2.
