The answer is no:

2012 Washington.

Talk about a collapse.

2012 Washington. 

 Won 21 regular season games. Went 0-1 in the pac 12 Tournament. 

 

[ECisGod]

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.

They also had two starters suspended for taking extra benefits during the week before the tournament.

Nebraska? Who was suspended? I vaguely remember Tony Farmer being questioned about his eligibility, but he played in the tournament game.

Here is the box score.  I don’t see anyone suspended from the game.

Ramos ( part time starting point guard) didn't play & I don't remember Farmer playing but it was nearly 30 years ago.

Farmer played, and Ramos was only a role player behind Moody and Scales.

How do you win .8 of a game.

This is from 1/25 (after the OSU game).  What we have done so far was given a 3.6% chance of happening...

The fact our chances of beating Indiana and PSU have gone down since 1/25 tell me to pay no attention to this. Although... both Indiana and PSU have won 4 in a row so I s'pose it makes a little sense.

Who do we want to win? Michigan or Ohio State?

 

[Mierin]

Who do we want to win? Michigan or Ohio State?

It might not matter. Michigan winning would help our RPI, but according to the people on this thread we match up better with Ohio State than with Michigan State, so we want Ohio State to be the #1 seed in the tournament so we can play them instead.

Who do we want to win? Michigan or Ohio State?

You want Michigan to win.  Potentially a pair of wins over the Wolverines, and winning out these last games are far more important than who NU could POTENTIALLY face in the semis.
