I think that loss to Fairbanks made him swear off in-season tournaments. I know it made me swear.

I know someone probably went over this already, but may I refresh our focus on this upcoming tournament. These invitationals are always great opportunity to boost RPI and get early-season experience and test out young teams.

 

As others have pointed out, there are a lot of dangerous ranked and RV teams in this field. Funnily enough, our new nemesis, St. John's, is in the field. If somehow by dumb luck we were to upset a few teams (and West Virginia) and make it to the finals, we could exact revenge on that same team. Which I would find darkly hilarious. You can always dream. How awesome would it be to win one of these things? The contenders always do.

 

Just wanted to put this here, for perusal and reference. Should be fun, and I think I'd like to look back at this after the invitational is over to see how everyone did. Even later in the year it might be a fun exercise to see where all of these teams are (usually something we would do anyway for purposes of RPI calculations).

[HolyBobpilgrimage]

Great reference! Wish we could create a tiered categorical heirarchy system; my topic I just posted is also about the tournament, I kind of wish now we could merge this into one space.

 

Regardless, thanks for the post! Good to know. Looking forward to this one, should be fun if we aren't smorked by Johnny boy again (in finals).

[HolyBobpilgrimage]

Unsurprisingly, I failed to look around and note the presence of similar posts. Oh well! more the merrier.

[Huskerpapa]

We will need Jordy to play a significant role in the first game.  Just wanting to state the obvious.

[Ron Mexico]

Expect a large contingent of Nebraska media to follow the team to Orlando, allegedly to cover the basketball team.

Did I mention that UCF is playing USF in football on the 24th at home ;-)

With the Nebraska media on hand, it will seem like a home game!

I'd say that's the most likely outcome, honestly.  But 2-1 isn't necessarily out of the question either.

I’m assuming that if we play St. John’s again the first one is the one that counts right? Either way I would love to play them again if we get to the 1st place or 3rd place game as I feel that going 1 & 1 or 2 & 0 without risking another loss. And if the 2nd game replaces the 1st then obviously I would love a nothing to loss chance at redemption.

I think I remember something about it not counting if we meet in Orlando. It should count, IMO. We play teams in conference twice, both of those games count. Both of these should if we play St. John's a second time. It's also why NU, and presumably St. John's requested to not play each other in the Gavitt Games.

"Nebraska... you saw them.  I don't think too much of them."  Can we fricking get these guys in the finals.  I would love to play them again.

Not saying we didn't poop our pants.  But we cleaned up and I think we learned how to use the crapper too.  I want another shot.  'Nuff said.

The results of the second game would count.  What it doesn't count against is the total number of games Nebraska can schedule; playing a team in a regularly scheduled game that is also in the same exempt tournament you are in doesn't count against your limit, for some reason.  So it allows Nebraska to play an extra game this year.

If it played out like that and we lost the 6th place game to Oregon State...it would not be a sign of progress.

Meaning we could schedule a game between the conference tournament and the NCAA Tournament to stay fresh?

No, it means that the regularly scheduled game with St. John's doesn't count against the limit as far as the number of games you're allowed to play.

[hhcmatt]

Oregon St has been a poor shooting 3pt squad. If we end up playing them we should have a slight advantage

[hhcmatt]

 

In a way, all of us has a Tacko Fall to face. For some, shyness might be their Tacko Fall. For others, a lack of education might be their Tacko Fall. For us, Tacko Fall is a big, dangerous man who wants to kill us. But as sure as my name is Lucky Day, the people of Lincoln can conquer their own personal Tacko Fall, who also happens to be *the actual* Tacko Fall
