If you’re a 1 or 2 seed you'll for sure be close.
I thought we asked you to stop posting links with all of your feet pics
DEI ruins everything
She's got a point Nebraska hasn't yet played the best team in the conference

My level 1 sources tell me we lose to them multiple times every week. SAD!
Fred should be in the hot seat for that
- 20 wins is the bare minimum number we have to reach to have a 50/50 chance
- 21 wins and we're dancing
- 22 wins or more and it's all about improving our seed
Results as of 2/2/26 results (20-2, 8-2)
This week we went 0-2; both losses to Q1 at Michigan and Illinois. Currently #10 in NET (dropped 5 spots)...
Net positive - none
Net negative - Pickle Smoochers dropped to a Q3 win (75 is cutoff for Q2 at home & they're 76)
Q1 = 6-2; (L) at Michigan, at Illinois, (L) Illinois, Michigan State, at Indiana, at Ohio State, ntrl New Mexico, at Northwestern (Q2 last week)

As a projected #3 seed, they have us in the South. Does that still give us OKC? The NCAA’s site absolutely sucks.
Projections are going to be really unreliable for locations. Most of them don't follow the rules very closely because it's a lot of work and there are a lot of rules.

Can't stand the guy, but Lunardi's bracket has actual locations.

Seems absurd to be worrying about the sweet 16 game though too.
I’m not saying they don’t have them. I’m saying they are not very reliable predictors of where teams end up.Can't stand the guy, but Lunardi's bracket has actual locations.

Edited to say they are not.

I assume in Houston as well. Would be a tough matchup but that’s first world problems
They are or aren't?
I like Nebraska vs any team that has their whole offense built around dribble drives and feeding the post.
Houston is very similar to Michigan State right now.
Teams with bigs who can shoot, pass across the floor and move are the teams that will give Nebraska trouble.
If Nebraska is healthy, they can beat a team like Houston.
Plus I think the big red faithful would show up in Houston and not make it feel like a home game (wishful thinking )
Houston plays a style of defense that would cause us major issues. It'll all depend how the game is officiated. Allow their physicality, which is likely in a S16 (and later) game, we're in trouble. Officiated tightly, then I like our odds, a lot.
And I'm not as worried about your third sentence. We missed plenty of open shots against Illinois.
