Basketball Official Nebrasketball 23/24 Season Thread

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I'd take the BIG tourney championship over 1 game in the tourney. That's a banner and probably carries a bit more weight into the off-season.

Win 2 tourney games and get to week 2 and that is a different answer.

 

[RedSavage]

I’m tired of being the only P5 school to not win a tourney game. Win ONE and I might change my answer in the future

Unsure where this needs to be posted but lolz

The revolving door of coaches has worked out for them so well I'm surprised they're not ready to try it again

W from Sparty tonight means a W from Nebrasketball on Sunday and we've locked up the 3 seed.

Sparty opened as a 9.5 favorite

Does NW have the tiebreaker with us?

I'm not sure you're in the minority. Just in the "incorrect answer" category.

Does NW have the tiebreaker with us?

Head to head, no. 1-1 against each other. Next tiebreaker is record against the #1 team. We are 1-0 against Purdue, NW is 1-1.

Does the B1G regular season champ get a banner too?

That's a hell of a hypothetical. NU desperately needs respect in the B1G among our men's sports. But we also desperately need a NCAA win.

You have to go w NCAA win due to our history. But a B1G mens hoops tourney banner would be pretty fuckin big for our athletic dept. We need some of that.

Sparty wins. 3 seed on the line on Sunday.

Sparty wins. 3 seed on the line on Sunday.

Typically always helpful to move up in the pecking order, but it's all about matchups and I haven't seen a projected bracket.

Can anyone share the projections/possibilities.

If we don’t win on Sunday, I believe we would drop to the 6 and lose the double-bye.

3 seed means if you win the first game on Friday you just avoid Purdue in the semis.

 

[stonesak]

If we hadn't got bent over by the refs in Champaign, we'd be the two seed right now.

Wouldn't necessarily drop. Wisky more than likely loses to Purdue. Cockeye loses to Illinois and we're 4.

 

[jickey moseph]

I guess a lot of this is ASSUMING Wisconsin loses to Purdue. A 3-way tie between Wisconsin, NW, and us somehow leans the way of Wisconsin.

 

[stonesak]

A win Sunday is a double bye for sure though, right? Either the 3 or 4 seed.

I believe so. Wisconsin somehow holds the tiebreaker in a 3-way but then we own that same tiebreaker over NW. NW would be the 5, I believe.

Is this correct?

It does not matter what Wisconsin does against Purdue, as they hold tiebreakers over NU & NW. All that matters is what NW does tomorrow against Minn. If NW wins, NU has to win against UM. If NW loses, it doesn't matter what NU does against UM.

I think we would have a better conference record than Wisky if they lose against Purdue and we beat Michigan right?

This sounds right, except Cockeye. Cockeye could make things interesting if they win I think
