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?
Honestly who else could it be?
NW finished 3rd in the Big10 last yr. No one else has really risen this season
I’d say it’s still probably between Fred & Collins unless Minnesota finishes extremely hot

I agree. NU was picked 12th in the preseason. NU still has a legitimate shot at the double bye in the B1G tournament.
 
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).
I agree with what you said about every team except Houston. Houston would turn us over at least 20 times and run us out of the gym.

Houston would anally punish Nebraska into another dimension. Their entire thing is offensive rebounding and swarming/pressure defense. I am a UConn grad/fan and watch a good amount of college hoops- UH may be the worst matchup for Nebraska in the entire tournament, including UConn
