If we win the rest of our games by an average of 10 points versus squeaking out a bunch of wins? Too bad Maryland gave up that big lead to MSU this weekend. I also don't get the Maryland love. Are you guys saying thay if we win out and win one game in the tournament, that Maryland would go dancing over us? even if we finish 4th in the B1G? Probably not, because that would include a win over Maryland. I think we would be in, but if not, I think it would be more likely that the Big Ten only gets 4 bids (Purdue, Ohio State, Michigan State, Michigan) in that scenario. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I never have figured out why the NCAA doesn't go to something similar to what the NSAA uses for Nebraska HS basketball in wildcard points. Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 We cannot finish anything lower than 5-2 if we want a chance at the tourney Quote Link to comment

Like others have said, our resume is not good. At this point we need to win about 7 more games to have a chance. Now if we went 5-2, then we would have to win 2 conference tournament games. B1G is just not good this year. now if Minnesota and Maryland keep losing, we can make sneak in if the committee see's the B1G is only sending 4 teams and we are at 4th in the B1G... but lets make our lives easier and just win the B1G Ten Tourney.

BigRedBuster Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Strange.....looking at our remaining schedule. Illinois scares me the most and they only have 1 win in the Big Ten this year. I Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Looking at this bracket, I think he has us as a play-in game at the top. One of the frustrations with Twitter is that you can't expand a picture on your computer. 1 Quote Link to comment

Winner to take on Tennessee 1 Quote Link to comment
ECisGod Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I think 21 wins gets us in the conversation, but on the wrong side of the bubble to the extent that nobody really considers us. 22 probably gets us squarely on the bubble and it becomes a toss up. I think 23 should get us in unless we win out and get hammered in the conference tournament. Quote Link to comment

I think the same, but i don't know how they could leave out a 23 win team from the B10, even on a down year Quote Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 So, it's pretty rare that a big six team gets left out with 20+ wins. Quote Link to comment
ECisGod Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 realtimerpi.com has the conference ending this way. I'm not sure how some of the tiebreakers would work out. Purdue 17 1 Michigan St 16 2 Ohio St 14 4 Nebraska 11 7 Michigan 11 7 Penn St 10 8 Maryland 8 10 Northwestern 7 11 Indiana 7 11 Wisconsin 6 12 Minnesota 5 13 Iowa 5 13 Rutgers 5 13 Illinois 4 14 Quote Link to comment

I think those numbers were just from 2005 to 2012. So it averages out to be about 5 teams per year but I'm not sure how rare that is. How many Big 6 teams have 20+ wins each year?

Minnesota_husker Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 This all boils down to stupid Svi Mykhailiuk hitting that stupid freaking Three to help KU squeak out with a win. While our resume isnt super impressive I think that would have helped. 1 Quote Link to comment
