If they make it to Saturday they should be squarely right there in bubble talk, IMO.

Good idea...this is one of the greatest times of the year.

This guy currently has NU as #4 seed in the NIT. https://nitbracketology.blogspot.com/

Summary: "Nebraska joins the NIT bracket, replacing Saint Louis, after the Cornhuskers' stunning victory at Cockeye this afternoon. It was going to be hard for Nebraska to go 2-1 in the Big Ten tournament to get to the magic .500 line. But after their third top 40 road victory, the Cornhuskers can beat Minnesota and be relatively safe. Why? Because Nebraska has 0 bad losses and a host of good ones. The one wrinkle would be if the committee decided to go heavy on predictive metrics again. While the KPI and Strength of Record think Nebraska is for real, the Cornhuskers came into the day ranked 94th in NET. They're 94th in KenPom even after winning at Cockeye. (Nebraska is also 48th in KenPom's "luck", which explains a little bit of the difference between the two styles of metrics.) I find it hard to believe though that the NIT would leave a team out that has seven total QI and QII wins."

Are coaches heads rolling at tOSU and WISC?

You'd have to think being seeded behind NU doesn't taste very good at programs that regularly make the sweet 16.
