 LOL...I thought about this too this morning. We beat Michigan, and then they cease being a Q1 win for us, and then people go back to saying Nebraska doesn't have any Q1 wins.  :facepalm:

I can already see it honestly.

I am pretty sure we would still get credit for 1 Q1 win since we beat them on Neutral court and I doubt they would fall that far... The question is do we lose credit for the 1 in Lincoln.

I dont think Michigan would fall that far.

Using the RPI predictor, Michigan would move to exactly 30th in the RPI.

That means, barring any other teams making big moves up in the RPI, that we would still have 2 Quad 1 wins.

Let's not worry about that though, let's just win the tournament.

But since the first game was in Lincoln it would NOT be a Q1 win because those are Top 25 at home, right?

Here's what Wiscy came up with out of their last timeout:

Quadrant 1 tilts — home games vs. the RPI top 30, neutral-site games against the RPI top 50, and road games vs. the top 75.

OK.  I was thinking it was 1-25.

Thanks.

That was pathetic...

Yeah, that was rough. The obviously had one plan. Have the Frosh shoot da triple.

I'm assuming we want PSU to lose even if we win today's game. Otherwise if they happen to win the tournament the NCAA has to decide whether to make us the 6th Big Ten team.

Hopefully we just win the whole thing.

Not investing too much in this first game, because we have our own work to do, but I think I’d prefer Wisconsin to win. Better chance for us to WIN tomorrow if we get there. I think “Q1 wins” are overrated. Not worried about needing to pick another one up tomorrow to make the tournament. It’s just about wins for us now.

PS what are the odds that us beating Michigan today would take away our Q1 wins? Lmao. 

Lol

Tim Miles brings up interesting point. Has Nebraska won today it would have knocked down Michigan and negated the Quad One won from earlier in season. A win would have replaced it though. But no way to get two.
