Well Bruce confirmed that this is the only game left that matters to us. He confirmed Davidson will not get an at large, which I was slightly concerned about due to them possibly being lazy and calling it a day. Davidson/Rhode Island - 12pm CBS Rhode Island - 2 1/2 BADLY need Rhode Island. Bruce confirmed that one of the at large teams selected is going to drop out if Davidson wins. Given that we are likely to be in by the hair of our chinny chin chin if we make it, that team could very well be us. My work here is nearly done. It has been a pleasure. I may have one more selection show watch report coming if nobody puts one together. We deserve to be in, but looks like we are pissing into the wind. Too many forces working against us I am afraid. Need some common sense to be deployed. GBR!5 points

I Want More Seasons Like This
Fullbacksympathy and 3 others reacted to HuskerFever for a topic
Forget the tournament conversations for a moment. I want more seasons like this. The fact that were here in the second week of March and the dialogue on HHC is alive and well is so refreshing. Many of us have been through the years on HHC where conversations tend to die around January, where non-regulars become even more irregular, and those who are champions for sticking it out tend to have conversations about NyQuil, the angle a player's knee bends, and the decor of an opposing player's parent's basement. Thank you all for being here in March. Seriously. I want more seasons like this, both on and off the court. Cheers.4 points -

My guess it will be a similar reaction to Herbstreit losing his mind about the best cfb team of all-time tournament in which '71 Nebraska squared off against '95 Nebraska.4 points -
Updated Sunday's Games of Interest: Davidson/Rhode Island - really, really, really need URI to pull this one out - a loss by Davidson likely knocks them out of a Quad 1 road win/loss for their opponents The Bubble/Nebraska - We need to stay on top of the bubble to make the tourney Thanks to @HuskerFever and @royalfan for the heavy lifting in this thread4 points

I sincerely appreciate your positivity re: our chances in the tourney. You’ve been saying were in for a long time, consistently. I don’t know that you’ll be right but I like the outlook. I was feeling good early this week but seems like all the conf tourney games have not been favorable. Thanks for keeping the optimism alive!4 points -

You cannot be serious right? If we would've went to Omaha and won we would be in the tournament right now if everything else played out the way it did. I understand the hate for Creighton in a rivalry but putting them on the same level as UNO is laughable. Rassmussen DOES NOT hate us. It looks like we weren't really in a position to really be brought up.3 points -

jason2486 and 2 others reacted to Silverbacked1 for a topic
I read or heard somewhere that the committee had to keep them in after saying they were one of the first 16 on the first list they put out. Don't know if that is true but... Hope they just get blown out and the "Wonder Kid" goes like 2 for 35 and then everybody can see what a joke that "team" is.3 points -

I'll be the first to admit that my initial reaction is very salty. Not because we didn't get in. But how do you put in some of that teams that had no success in the 2018 calendar year? That's pathetic.3 points -

AuroranHusker and 2 others reacted to throwback for a topic
Updated alphabetical cheat sheet I'll edit this post during the day as these final results come through - hopefully this makes it easier to follow along as the 68 teams are unveiled alphabetically. If you're looking for an early sign about NU's hopes as they unveil the teams alphabetically, I'd say keep a close eye on the following four teams, which will appear in the first 1/4 of teams unveiled: Alabama - First out of the gate - One of the 5 shakiest "lock" teams - I think they're in, but if they're left out, great sign for NU Arizona State - First bubble team - I think they're out, but it's 50/50 Baylor - Second bubble team, and a bit of a long shot - if they're in, a bad bad bad bad sign for NU Florida State - One of the 5 shakiest "lock" teams, so if they're left out, a great sign for NU If all 4 of these teams are in, my feeling of 30% NU in drops to 5% NU in. If they're all in, the committee isn't buying what NU's resume is selling. If just 1 of these 4 teams are in, I'm going to feel a lot more positive. It means the committee is not relying on the Quads as much as the bracketologist nerds thought. If it's 2 or 3 of these 4 in, I don't think our chances change much, but obviously 2 in would be far better than 3 in. I'd say the other (now) three shaky "lock" teams would be Nevada, Rhode Island, and USC, but they'll be announced after we are, so no help there. KEY: Green and Bold = Automatic Bid (with games to be played today, favorite is listed first) Blue and Italic = Likely At-Large (31 teams) Red and Underlined = Bubble teams (5 spots available) Alabama Arizona Arizona State Arkansas Auburn Baylor Bucknell Buffalo Butler Cal State Fullerton Charleston Cincinnati Clemson Creighton Davidson Duke Florida Florida State Georgia State Gonzaga Houston Iona Kansas Kansas State Kentucky Lipscomb LIU Brooklyn Louisville Loyola-Chicago Marquette Marshall Maryland-Baltimore County Miami Michigan Michigan State Middle Tennessee Missouri Montana Murray State Nebraska Nevada New Mexico State North Carolina North Carolina Central North Carolina State North Carolina-Greensboro Notre Dame Ohio State Oklahoma Oklahoma State Oregon Penn Providence Purdue Radford Rhode Island San Diego State Seton Hall South Dakota State Southern California St. Bonaventure St. Mary’s Stephen F Austin Syracuse Tennessee Texas Texas A&M Texas Christian Texas Southern Texas Tech UCLA (USC listed above as Southern Cal) Utah Villanova Virginia Virginia Tech West Virginia Wichita State Wright State Xavier3 points -

Here's the Elephant in the Room: If any other B1G team, ANY OTHER, finished in 4th place with a 13 - 5 record you can bet your a** they would be in. There's a biased held against us because of our history, our Tournament failures, and due to the simple fact that well, we're NEBRASKA. If you think that sounds provincial or paranoid, so be it. I've lived and worked on both Coasts, and you know what people think about Nebraska? They don't3 points -

Not to be rude, but thats BS, you have no idea. Why speculate like that? Other than to get a negative reaction? People that speculate on who stays and who goes are getting tire some. You talk with Cope and Palmer often? If anything this type of thing can unite a group and both would be more likely to come back. Geesh. Rant over.2 points

Isn't this kind of a reversal of his earlier interviews? Could have sworn he said before that strength of schedule wasn't as important as intent of schedule, and was kind of arbitrary. Not that things didn't change, or maybe that was his own system vs what the committee as a whole wound up doing, but that seems opposite of what I thought he had said earlier, unless I just made all that up.

After Rhode Island screwed up the last 10 seconds of the game, and after a Danny Nee expletive came out of my mouth, I had the thought of "Same old crap." Then the thought popped in my head that I felt the same way in 1986 when Hoppen blew out his knee against Colorado. Against all odds, we still made the Dance that year. You just never frickin' know!

Fellas... either way.... it’s been fun. Hell of a ride. I’ve really enjoyed it. I can’t help but think of the titanic right now. The scene where the guys are still playing on the deck as the ship is sinking and they say “it’s been a pleasure.” Yeah we arent the upper class. Yeah there isn’t enough boats for everyone. However some lower class people still made it onto one of those boats. It doesn’t look good, but there is still a chance. Either way though... hell of a time this year. The rides not over.

Hell I've been doing that since I joined the board. I eat, sleep, and drink red kool-aid. I actually think we did fairly well overall for the conference tournament games. It wasn’t a dream scenario where everyone loses, but it also wasn’t terrible for us. We had a lot of games go in the direction that gave the committee something to think about. That is a good thing for us. Keep up the red power... win or lose tomorrow!2 points

Well, if you ignore the fact that the top two teams in that league just aren't all that good, and the two teams on the bottom absolutely stink, and the three teams above the bottom are pretty crappy, and the remaining seven teams are absolutely mediocre, he may be right.

So heading into the last day, here's what I've got. The following 19 teams are fighting for 10 spots (nine if Davidson beats Rhode Island tomorrow): Group 1: I'd be surprised if any of these teams gets left out. Obviously USC is an auto-bid if they win tonight. Alabama, UCLA, NC State, USC, Florida State Group 2: I see these 11 teams vying for the final five spots (four if URI loses) - I predict the bolded get in Texas, Louisville, Syracuse, Arizona State, Nebraska, St. Mary's, St. Bonaventure, Penn State, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Baylor Group 3: I'd be surprised if any of these get in, but maybe it could happen Oklahoma State, Marquette, Middle Tennessee2 points -
I don't know....kind of wonder if Rachel will/can continue. All the pain, discomfort, aggregation, etc etc...hard to deal with on a continual basis. Makes you wonder if it's worth it and... is it in her own best interest/health to keep playing? Certainly above all, hope she can continue play...she's such a good team mate. She's very much one of the Husker family.2 points
