B1G going to a 20 game conference schedule next season.  Makes it less likely to have such a wonky schedule like we did this year.  Doesn't help that traditional quality teams like IU and Wiscy are so terrible this year either.

Also playing at MSG is not worth the awful scheduling and having to play conference games in the non-con schedule.  Makes it more difficult to put together a schedule and just made for a brutal two week stretch.  Play it in Brooklyn or the right weekend if you want NYC that bad.

ACC is playing in Brooklyn this year so it's not available thw right week either.

The record for wins in a season is 26, in case anyone is interested. I do not know if that would include postseason play because we got bounced in the first round that year.

It did include the Big 8 tournament and would have included any NCAA wins if they had gotten any.

 
Latest update has us in only 9 brackets, but we are now one of the first 4 out. Penn State is now one of the next 4 out and are in 5 brackets.

Didn't look that up.  I meant more in general, the ACC and B1G aren't going to play in NYC every year so figure out a rotation in Brooklyn with them and play on the right weekend going forward.  Playing the same weekend as the Valley is going to be so awful.  The B1G going from the game that leads into the selection show to a pure afterthought the entire weekend.

Somewhere on the board I suggested an 8 year rotation of Omaha, Minneapolis, DC & NYC (Brooklyn) once and Chicago & Indianapolis twice. I still think it would be a great plan.

 
USC, Texas, Kansas St, and Providence are the teams I think are seeing their way out the most down the stretch

Unless upsets occur we will need to sweep Michigan or possibly beat Penn St back-to-back if they can get to the 5th spot.

I’d definitely consider attending Minneapolis, Omaha and Indy.

 
With the way some other bubble teams have played lately, I think the only way Nebraska gets in is to win their next 4 games. Winning 5 would basically mean they're a lock, 4 they should be pretty confident, 3 probably means a 1 seed in the NIT.

 
Lots of important games today for the projected 9-11 teams and bubble teams.

Texas vs Oklahoma
Miami vs Syracuse
Providence vs Butler
Kansas State vs Iowa State

Boise State vs Air Force
 

and several more.

Also UCF won a game today.

That '90-01 team made a run to the finals of the Big 8 Tournament, which would have added 2 wins to their season total.  That team was 24-6 in the regular season.

I was a freshman in high school that year, and that team was so fun to watch and follow all year long.  They had to play a very late game on Friday night of the NCAA tournament, and didn't play well.  Xavier also shot very well that night (54% from the field, and 6 of 14 from 3's.  It's too bad NU couldn't get past that 1st game, because they had the talent to make a deep run.
