Maybe still waiting to update? All the bracket dorks I follow on Twitter have Nebraska as a lock now.

Humans are terrible at re-evaluating what they previously believed. It's always harder to fall off the board than to climb on it.

According to timestamp on article it was after our win

They are a top 30 NET ranked team with 4 quad 1 wins and no quad 3-4 losses. Even though they are hard tanking their resume easily gets them in

Easily is definitely a way to put it. Their best win(s) came nearly 4-5 months ago.

They have 12 quad 1 and 2 wins. Nebraska has 7. Not that hard to see why they are still up there

You are right that they should be a shoo-in. I just don’t see how they’re that much higher on the seed line.

Michigan probably makes 8. They were 127 heading into the day.

They’ll pry drop to Q3 after today. Doesn’t matter tho we’re in. Looking at a 9 seed based on what happened this weekend. Lotta teams around us lost.

They need to drop 9 spots, IIRC. Doubtful they drop that far. There is rarely that much movement this late into the season. Maybe after the Big Ten tournament game.

Didn’t realize that. Thought they only had to drop to 130+. Ya they’ll stay Q2.

Bracket is officially out- do not hate our path:

Really like where we are. Best shot at title I think. With our depth I think we are a contender for the title. Obviously we'd be an underdog in a finale, but we've got a legit shot. Looking forward to the tournament.

+1100 to win the tournament

 

[Tell_Sackett]

That seems like decent return on us comparably. I'm much more comfortable betting us at +1100 than Illinois at +290. We are undervalued by the public in BBall since we've essentially never been good or won anything other than an NIT.
