This is 1000% correct. 

This is true, but by every statistical metric that is nominally used, Oklahoma and TCU are ahead of Nebraska. To throw them out as "overrated" or "undeserving" is a bit silly.

Oklahoma is overrated, there is no way they are a 4 or 5 seed. Teams are starting to figure out how to slow down and disrupt Trae Young. If Oklahoma doesn't have Trae Young they are not a tournament team.

That was a good Baylor team but we might as well have not even shown up for that game.  Baylor was only a 2.5 point favorite BTW.  Regardless, my point still stands that just about anytime we've had some spotlight, we've gone and s#!t the bed.

And let's not forget the officiating angle--that official was dismissed for a history of poor calls and negative behavior/antics on the court. 

Can't remember his name...but he was a significant factor. I mean, FFS, he ejected Tim Miles because he was trying to alert them that the timekeeper didn't do their job.

I watched Oklahoma beat Kansas. I watched TCU beat West Virginia. I also watched Nebraska lose to Kansas.

If Nebraska doesn't have James Palmer Jr., they are not a tournament team, either.

I meant that Oklahoma has lost 7 of there last 9 games because Trae Young hasn't been as good in that stretch. Oklahoma is still a tournament team, but they should be a 6 or 7 seed and not a 4 or 5.

I completely agree; they're closer to the 8 line than the 5 line (which is where they're at on Bracket Matrix). But both them and TCU are solidly in the tournament, barring a massive collapse in the last 3 weeks. Instead of their resumes, fans need to be focusing on teams like USC, UCLA, Texas, Syracuse and Virginia Tech. 

 
I am acknowledging that the B10 is not a good conference this year. I was unaware saying we are the 4th best B10 and 3rd best B12 team was 'silly'?

so......

I was there with co-workers at the time and a few were former creighton basketball players.

Got into an argument with one because he was trashing Miles. Creighton played in the game after that.

Well, at least we didn't get our doors blown off as bad as the little jay birds :lol:
