all i care about is getting in and finally winning a game. whether we are a 1 seed or the last team in. just win that first tourny game to get that 600 pound gorilla off our backs and then see how far we can go from there.

For sure.. the higher the seed though the “easier” the matchup

It would be the most Nebrasketball thing ever to get a 2 seed, win a game and then lose to a 10 seed.

I'm just glad a 16 seed has won at this point. I know we won't actually be a 1 seed, but if a 16 had still never beat a 1 I'd probably put money on us getting a 1 seed and being the first to lose.

I'd still take it.

Huskers are up to a 2 seed playing North Dakota State in Oklahoma City in ESPN's latest guess. Ten B1G teams in with UCLA as the first team out (and Indiana & Ohio State in the last four in).

ESPN Guess 1/16/25

It appears that CBS is now doing daily updates (not sure it's necessary with 58 days until Selection Sunday, but it is what it is). Huskers are a 2 seed playing Portland State in the West Region.

100%, was just thinking about that today

first team to lock it

I saw Nebraska fell a spot behind Vanderbilt in the NET without either team playing a game. Just bizarre. Vandy and Iowa State losing again should open the door for a rise.

Computer rankings take strength of schedule into account so if Vandy's opponents win & Nebraska's lose that could swap their relative positions.

Glad we're in the range.

But considering there are only 35-ish Power 5 conference teams in the tournament, I'm not sure being in the top 44-57 of some stats is all that telling.

Although the last one is the only one were close to the bottom of the range.
