Selection Committee Games of Interest

[HuskerActuary]

Holy crap, just a terrible start to the day for us. Dating back to last night's Bonaventure win,  that's four games in a row where we really needed one team to win and they did not

It's tough. Before this game they were: RPI 21, KPI 14, SOR: 19, BPI: 32, POM: 31, SAG: 30

 

And our beloved quadrants before this game: Q1: 6-6, Q2: 2-3, Q3: 3-0, Q4: 5-0

 

So they've got real good numbers. But the eye test would be very different. Unfortunately I think they'll get a little more slack than they should. A five game losing streak is a five game losing streak. We had one when we got in the tournament in 2014, but not this late in the season when it all starts to matter!

 

Let's say they lose two of their final four: @KU, KSU, @Bay, ISU. RPI Forecast has them around 38th. Things would definitely get interesting if they lost their first Big XII tourney game.

Oklahoma is playing like hot garbage.

 

Don’t talk like that about a top 16 seed team.

 

Im starting to like when I don’t have a dog in the fight,  Because this whole thing is a hot mess.

 

one Conference beats up on each other, they are all good, the other beats up on each other, they are all mediocre.

 

itll be funny, and frustrating, when the Big 12 and the SEC struggle in the NCAA’s.

This was my first time watching Oklahoma.  It seems they are way too dependent on Trae Young.  If he is shooting well, they can beat anybody, but if he is struggling, anybody can beat them.  Not a good recipe for a long stay in the tournament.

 

Also, I am going to drive myself insane watching these bubble games.  It's like I'm watching a Nebrasketball game all the time.  Might need a little break from these games.

And KState is starting to pull away.

Would be nice to see Northwestern hold this early lead on MSU. Vaults OSU back to the one seed and makes one of our road wins look better, with a possibility of later creeping into Q1 territory.

Northwestern not losing to Rutgers earlier this week would've been nice

I’m confused if the last couple days mean the big ten is full of parity like they say the Big East, 12, or SEC? I’m sure we’re just MAC #2.

[HuskerFever]

WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE BIG TEN?????

 

Northwestern 43

Michigan State 17

 

with 3:28 to go in the 1st!

The whole perception by the media is one thing, let's hope the committee understands that winning on the road is difficult. Nebraska has an opportunity tomorrow to go to 5-4 in the Big Ten on the road, and 7-7 away from PBA on the season. And NU is 14-1 at PBA....Nebraska needs to take care of business, and let the chips where they may. GBR

I understand that watching bubble teams you should see more wins than losses, that's just how it works, but watching every frikin bubble team pick up big wins every frikin night is getting real old real fast.  Today has been awful.

[HuskerActuary]

For what I would call the "really important" games we are 0-6 so far today, and in three of those the team we wanted to win was the favorite. Unreal!

Just disheartening

At least Vandy just beat Florida.

I’m just thankful that the seasons ending a week earlier than usual.  My lord I don’t think I could do it another week.  On the flip side, I hope we do enough to end the season that I don’t have to freak out conference tournament season.

I think I'm freaking out BECAUSE the season is ending a week early

@royalfan, we've got a mini miracle here. Marist actually pulled one out. Delaware State, however, fighting real hard for last place.
