If NU goes 5-1 down the stretch with say a loss to Indiana and then wins 2 in tournament that would make them 21-12 and being a pretty hot team at the end of the year. I think that would be enough to get them into the big dance, but whether they get there is another story. There will be a lot of teams with similar records.
I don't have a huge problem with it if they don't get in with that record, but why does it always seem like Georgetown gets into the show with a 17-14 record.
Because they're Georgetown.
C'mon... if we have records that are anywhere near each other and we both happen to be on the bubble, who do you think the selection committee is going to go with? They don't give a crap about our feel-good story or bringing change to the tourney. They're going to go with the team with tradition. It's the same reason we sometimes get slotted into a better bowl game than we deserve at the end of the FB season... We're Nebraska. We have a ridiculous fan base and everyone knows it.
With that said... there's a reason I never take GTown to get out of the first round in the tourney.
