Good news is the team is in control of their own destiny. Nothing has really changed with the Illinois loss IMO. Still going to have to win a game or two in the Big 10 tournament.  

Technically, every team in the country controls their own destiny once the conference tournaments roll around....

Using quadrants it's so arbitrary. It's a little like tax brackets. Except there's an excuse with the tax brackets. We're talking 300+ million people vs <500 basketball teams.

Yesterday on Lunardi's bracket, NU was 4th on the "first four out" & PSU 1st on "next four out".  Today, after PSU lost at home to Michigan, they have flipped.  He also dropped Michigan's seed.  It seems like he is randomly making decisions without looking at actual results.

lunardi is not that great when it comes to "bracketologists". Go to bracketmatrix.com and look at their bracket rankings. Top 5 there are incredibly accurate.

I understand that he's not that good, but you would think there was some logic to his decisions.  PSU loses to Michigan at home and PSU moves up & Michigan moves down follows no logic whatsoever.  Maybe he consults with Bozo the Clown, Miss Cleo, Richard Simmons & Diana Ross' psychic friends when doing his updates.

That bracket also only gets updated every three days or so so NU's spot in the First Four Out probably didn't have our loss to Illinois included yet.

If we win the next two we are in. All that matters at this point.

How many of those 20 win teams have only beat 1 team in the top 60?

Hot take, bro. 

 

[Huskerzoo]

Given that there's only 1 team on the list, this feels like a trick question. I'm gonna go with 7.

Would y'all rather we win the NIT or lose in the first round of the NCAA tournament?

Would y'all rather we win the NIT or lose in the first round of the NCAA tournament?

Seriously. Neither one sounds great, but I think I would rather make the NCAA tournament and get bounced right away. At least then you can say "we went dancing" :dunno

The big dance and it's not even close for me

Always the NCAA tournament.

 

[Mierin]

I agree, NCAA tournament. It's worth it for the excitement even if we lose.

Just making sure everyone else was right like me.
