In the time frame UCLA has went 2-2 and Syracuse has went 1-3. If you have a system based on guessing if teams will win or lose remaining games and you're not updating it a ton those guys would be sticking towards the top. Quote

uneblinstu Posted March 2, 2018 Report Posted March 2, 2018 Syracuse and UCLA have overall resumes better (on paper) than NU. Compare them side by side, and it's pretty easy to see, actually. NU needs to win today. Quote

hskr4life Posted March 2, 2018 Report Posted March 2, 2018 So the worst thing that could have happened today... happened. But..... most all other bubble teams are going to lose at least 1 more in the next week. It might be a good thing to have this game be 9 days in the past instead of 3 days in the past. No reason for us to give up hope if the team isn't giving up hope. Let's keep rooting hard for others to lose. Quote

tjp21 Posted March 3, 2018 Report Posted March 3, 2018 The Big12 has been so frustrating. It's a league full of average to good teams. It's almost like they're colluding to get as many teams in as they can. I have little doubt we're as good as almost any team in that league. I'm sorry, but they don't deserve 8 bids. Quote

hskr4life Posted March 3, 2018 Report Posted March 3, 2018 I mean if we are hoping the committee sees that we’re deserving based on the eye test, we have to hope that they see other leagues as being less challenging than the national perception or we are screwed anyways. Quote
NeeandMe Posted March 3, 2018 Report Posted March 3, 2018 BC and Clemson both blowing it slowed down some momentum on the day. Would've been 6 games in a row that finished the way we needed. Quote
