They also absolutely need to beat Penn State and Northwestern. They also have to steal at least two of the last four. 8-12 in the conference is awful for this team, but the NET loves them, and 18-13 overall (plus a game or two in the B1G tournament) might get them in. I agree, but I think they need to throw in a signature win like Purdue or Mich. Perfect scenario to have NW & Penn st. before these 2 games. Quote Link to comment
Minnesota_husker Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 The committee does take into account how you finish. If Nebraska were to lets say go 5-1 and win a game in the B1G tourney they might have a shot but honestly I dont think this team can do that. If they played how they are capable of playing, then I could maybe see it but when the pressure is on this team crumbles. I can honestly say I would be shocked to see this team make the tourney. Lets start with winning the next two games. Lose one of those and I dont think they can get in unless they win the Big Ten Tourney. 1 Quote Link to comment

I think we were lucky last night, because both Allen & Roby had an off shooting night. We need to have 3 scores 15+ to have a chance. Quote Link to comment

If that 5-1 scenario happened, I’d be shocked if Nebrasketball wasn’t in. Quote Link to comment

Big red surfers Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 They won’t 4 games the rest of the year. Last nights game was a gift. Still the same team. Zero offense and bad coaching. I have no idea why people still think we can go dancing. Quote Link to comment

They could beat Penn State Tuesday. Any other wins would be big upsets. Iowa would be a little less of an upset with it being Senior night, but even that would only put them at 17-14 (at best) and headed to the NIT. Quote Link to comment

They would have to get in the finals of the Big10 tournament. They need to get some quality wins, more than one. We need to beat NW & Penn St., but they are not in the quality section!

Technically Penn State would be a Q1 win - they are 69th in the NET rankings and it's a road game, but I get your point. I think if they somehow (miracle, everyone on the other team gets food poisoning?) got to 17-14 and then made the Semi's in the B1G tournament they'd probably be in. Quote Link to comment
B.B. Hemingway Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 15-11 after the Northwestern win. @Penn St Purdue @Mich @Mich St Iowa 18-13 is probably the best case scenario? Don't know if that would be good enough.... My guess would be no, with a 8-12 conference record. Quote Link to comment

Or if we win 3 of the last 5 we would have to win a couple of games in the big ten tournament. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Interesting how two home wins over a mediocre and a bad B1G team suddenly get the tourney juices flowing again. And how quickly they come crashing back down. Quote Link to comment

And how quickly they come crashing back down. I mean the metrics were still there for it to be discussed. If you look around at the various bracket sites/bubble watches we were (are) still on them because our numbers are so high. We're not making the dance but it was completely fair conversation based off our NET rating and SOS Quote Link to comment
