Anybody watch the post game on btn? I’m already annoyed with bracketology. They’re talking like Nebraska is a fringe team and needed a win today.

Well sure they needed a win today….BUT…the tournament committee revealed their top 16 teams and WISCONSIN would be a 4 seed today. The btn dude had Nebraska as an 11 seed, fringe tournament team.

Comparing schedules alone how is Nebraska 7 seeds worse than Wisconsin? There is no logic there…just built in bias.

Won’t matter
Will win out regular season & make the semifinals at minimum in the Big10 tournament
I’m expecting a 7 seed at lowest
Win out & claim a scalp in the big10 tourney with a final berth & were a 5
 
We are a good basketball team and it is so disappointing how the Big Ten refs these games. Penn State was only in that game at half time due to the amount of hand checking, grabbing, and holding the refs allow them to do.

They do the conference no favors by allowing teams to play a style that would never be successful in the NCAA tournament.

But if its us on the road every single one is a foul
 
So I'm a casual (probably bandwagon) NE baseball fan. Is the 5th place in the Big 10 placement about right or nah?
 
if they can stay out of the 8-9 seed I'd be happy
Honestly of the committee’s 1&2 seeds the only I wouldn’t want to see is UCONN
I think we could beat any of the others (& wouldn’t be matched against Purdue 2nd round)
If Alabama or Auburn would move up, I’d want no part of them either.
The currrnt seedings as of today, we could beat any of these
Purdue (won’t see)
UConn (toughest matchup/want no part of)
Arizona (meh/pac12 sucks)
Houston (Big12 over rated/play most games in the 60s)
Tennessee (Rick Barnes chokes in March)
NC (meh)
Kansas (lol/not very good)
Marquette (tough matchup but beatable)

Alabama/Auburn likely are 2s if/when Tennessee falters

We can advance to the 2nd week, if seeded 8,9,10

I’d prefer 5-7 tho. (Win out regular season & we rise to this range).

Caught a little bit and they said if we made the tourney Fred would be the BIG coach of the year.

Anybody else catch that?
