So basically you are saying we aren't getting Igor unless Mast doesn't come back. Igor seems like a more athletic version of Mast IMO. Morgan is definitely the most aggressive of the bunch, but as I said somewhere when he committed... Morgan needs to distribute the ball better to work in Hoibergs system

Milicic is 100% the perfect fit for Hoibergs offense, but I agree we only get one more Big and I would prefer Milicic over Morgan and Kyle

Look I am not going to blame the refs for the loss, but I am going to blame them for the change in game flow. - 55-40 17:28 Left - 10:15 Second mark the score was 66-63 - 10:15 Foul Count was 9 Fouls on Nebraska and 1 on Illinois - 10:15 Mark Juwan Gary got a away from the ball foul called on him for his 4th foul You can say Nebraska still had the lead and controlled their own destiny so the refs really did not control anything. Well how about momentum? How about personal? How about playing nervous, because you think your going to continue to get screwed? The game ended with Nebraska with 11 fouls and 9 on Illinois. Doesn't seem odd Nebraska gets 9 fouls called on them between the 17:28 mark and the 10:15 mark... you know the time during the run that Illinois made the game close? Then when the momentum shifted Illinois chipped away at the foul count. Big 10 refs are an ABSOLUTE JOKE

I feel like the NET is trying to save face on moving Nebraska to 31. BPI is the only one that looks idiotic now

Nebraska is at 29 in the kenpom right now gained 3 spots

That is an absolutely ridiculous metric and should not even count. So basically it is based on what the programs have done historically. Essentially being the name on the Jersey matters. That is just sad

I am more curious about the BPI... we go down and Texas goes up after losing. Help me understand this stupid ass bs

Pretty sure we play the 7:30 game on Friday

Here is the way I see how these folks made the selections. Criteria - What were they predicted to be prior to the season starting - What is the name on the front of their jersey - Who has the best stats on those jersey name teams - Time to throw in a couple Nebraska and Northwestern players, because they had a good season. We probably should pick two - Let's add in a Rutgers player, because they weren't horrible I guarantee you more then half of the Media selection committee has not watched a Nebraska or Northwestern basketball game unless it was against Purdue, Illinois, Wisconsin or Michigan State.

I bet Williams and Gary are about to go off in the Big 10 Tournament. Gary for sure should be on the list somewhere for his ability to do everything. Without Williams and Gary this team is a bottom dweller again this year. 4 Iowa players (5 Total) on the Media Honorable Mention, but no Gary or Williams. I hope they both take this personally

And if they don't call that fake foul on Wilcher we beat Illinois too

I just bought some at noon on axs.com They were all already resale, so I got robbed. I just got the best availabke tickets for the cheapest price. Upper bowl were $90+ too $116 per ticket, but I got 5 in a row in the lower bowl in the corner. Edit: I probably should mention I also paid $136 extra for the stupid fees

6's get an 11, but I'd like that two. The good thing is we can beat anyone if we are hot. So I am just happy we are in!

Where do you get this predictive metric score at?

Falsehood = - 18-13 team with a 3-7 away record - A 1-2 Neutral Court Record - An 8-13 Record against Quad 1/Quad 2 - Lost Heads up to multiple Teams Below them with a better resume That is NOT a #19 Resume and any Metric that continues to keep a team there due to close losses in tough games is a Metric that I believe should never be a focal point of the Committee. Edit - If Nebraska was 18-13 with a 3-7 Road record and finished the season 1-4 with losses to mediocre Ohio State and Iowa teams at home. Do you think there is any way possible that they would be a #19 anywhere?

Basically what I am saying is I think Nebraska should be the 3rd highest seed coming out of the Big 10

I am going to Minneapolis so that would be amazing! Bringing my 16yr old son with me so the old pocket book is saying "I'm alright if they lose, could save me a little money". The heart is saying LFG!

Above I attached a link to a thread I made. I could not figure out how to post the chart I wanted to share so I just decided to post it there and share the link Basically I'd like to get some discussion going about how people feel we get treated when it comes to bracketologists. I think they do not give Nebraska their due, and the chart I shared proves it. Not only should Nebraska be ranked higher than Michigan State... they probably should be higher than Northwestern and Wisconsin (Although pretty close to Wisconsin IMO). I think without the Falsehood rankings of the BPI and NET, Michigan State's play on the court would have them out of the Tournament without a doubt. I already hate the selection committee for what they did to us in 2018, but if they somehow put us lower than Michigan State I will lose all faith in how the Selection Committee does their process. I will also guarantee that they base a lot from the Name on the Jersey.

A lot of people forget we beat Michigan that year by 20 points and they went on to be the runner up in the Tournament. Yet supposedly Big 10 sucked that year... no other way to explain why Nebraska could get to Number 4. <- Sarcasm This year they tried and tried to get Nebraska to lose one they shouldn't down the stretch to bump us again. Nebraska has basically said sorry F*** faces, but we aren't going to give you a chance to screw us this year. Michigan being preseason #4 is what putting the foot in all the Big 10 down talk. At the end of the day... we still need to win one in the Tournament

Change our name to Michigan State

Yes

NET is our lowest ranking on all the Metrics and that is a 43... We beat Michigan and get a bye in the Big 10 Tournament we are safely in with at least a 10 seed IMO

Just want to beat Michigan before we start talking 3 seed

Some bracketology guy on Bracket Matrix called "Black" has the Huskers an 11 Seed and Michigan State a 6 seed. How any sane person could believe that to be accurate is beyond me. Fine you want Michigan State in the Tournament based upon their SOS... but a 6 seed at 17-12 with no amazing wins is homerism at it's finest.

I think winning the Tournament should give us that, but in reality we'd be a 6 at best
