Selection Committee Games of Interest

Nevada has got to get their act together.  This is a bid stealer tourney folks.

Announcers in KU-OSU straight up campaigning for Oklahoma State even though their numbers are terrible ("but my eyes tell me this is a tournament team") and talking about how it's "unfair" that Florida State isn't a Quad-1 win anymore because they lost, but they were undefeated until Oklahoma State beat them.

 

Must be nice to have your network in your corner.

Every network does besides BTN, but luckily(I guess?) no one watches BTN nationally anyway.

Heard something on the local (OK) radio station today. Regardless of the outcome of their game today, if OSU gets in they will have the highest RPI of any team to get an at large.  I think they're in the 80s right now.  They have a lot of the same things fighting them that we do, but they play in the almighty Big 12 where every game is a Quad 1 opportunity.

So if BC comes back and wins this sucker, at 20-14, do they need one more?  Do they need to win it all?  I am torn.  Would really help out our numbers though.

[royalfan]

no need to be torn.  We need them 

[jayschool]

Creighton does this just to dick with us, right? Hatin' Cratin right now.

 

[tcp]

i'm beginning to think this is going to be a really mediocre tourney.

[jdw]

Horrible replay in Creighton game.  They were so busy looking at who's finger it hit that they didn't notice Thomas hit the ball again before it every hit out of bounds. Oh well better for us.

[northwillriseagain]

Now wait, that was out on Creighton, 100%  of the time, then they get the ball after a 5 minute review? I know we need Creighton, but that’s a botched call.

Exactly, wtf was that?

[royalfan]

I hate these guys.  Can't do it when we need em.  Beat our ass early in the year before they start getting worse every year.  

[Nebrasketball1979]

Is this the NBA??? I know they don't call traveling in the NBA but holy cow that Providence guy fumbled the ball for several steps.

[royalfan]

It is mind boggling they blew that review.  It shouldn't have even been a review since Thomas touched it.  Crazy.  

[jayschool]

Nevada, KU and Arizona starting to put some distance between them and opponents. Crayton is a pile. I knew I shouldn't have worn these damn blue socks.

[HuskerBB]

Are we assuming Missouri is in for sure - even if they lose badly to Georgia - as they are doing now?

 

 

[royalfan]

Pry in, but there is an outside shot they are left behind.  

[jdw]

Our small line up would give Creighton trouble.  If you switch everything they can't get a decent shot off.

[jayschool]

So many mediocre teams, so little time left to bump them all off.

[royalfan]

They aren't very good anymore.  These damn fouls every possession are driving me nuts.  

[royalfan]

Gorilla ball by Providence.  Fly in out of control toss up a brick get call go to line.  Rinse repeat entire OT

They don't always go to the line, sometimes they get an offensive rebound.

[royalfan]

dropping spots right and left with all these losses by our opponents.  

[jayschool]

My favorite Creighton anagrams:

Hectoring

Etch Groin

Cretin Hog

Nicer Goth

Rich Get No

Rice Thong

 

As in

"A hectoring cretin hog got hit in the etch groin by a nicer Goth. The rich get no rice thong."

[throwback]

I know we could've used a Providence loss, but it always makes me laugh to see the bluebirds lose. 

 

I've been laughing a lot the past 6 weeks.

 

They deserve to be a bubble team.
