Updated. Not too shabby given the hand we were dealt.

 

We did everything we could so within our control. Onto the Big Ten conference tournament.

What are the odds we stay behind PSU, in Luinardi's bracket?

Michigan State 15/Wisconsin  122 - 12 CBS Michigan St. - 7 1/2  We need Wisconsin.  Played twice and puts Ohio St on one line. 
UCF 67/Temple 46 - 1pm ESPNU Temple -5 Need UCF
Furman 105/East Tennessee State 90 - 1pm ESPN3  E. Tenn St. -3 1/2 Don't probably matter but Furman is best to be sure
Marist/Canisius - 1pm
Illinois/Rutgers - 2pm BTN Rutgers -1  Don't see much importance here other than making recent loss look less bad
UCLA/Colorado - 3pm ESPNU  UCLA - 2 1/2  Need Colorado badly
Florida State 47/NC State 57- 5pm ESPNU  NC St -2  Not sure personally so will defer to Fever thinking we need Florida St

 

Others

East Carolina at Houston  2pm ESPN3  Only on here because of how bad East Carolina is.  A loss at home to them could get them flirting with the bubble.
Minnesota at Purdue  3pm FS1  Need Minnesota since played them twice

 

And that wraps up the night.

Monday's Games of Interest:

 

Duke/Virginia Tech - beat VaTech
Marquette/Georgetown - need Georgetown to win
Delaware State/Marland-Eastern Shore - our favorite opponent
Stetson/Lipscomb - RPI boost
Texas/Kansas - knock off Texas

 

 

Tuesday's Games of Interest:

 

Tennessee/Mississippi State - knock off MSU
Florida/Alabama - tough one, going with Florida
Missouri/Vanderbilt - need Vandy
Oklahoma State/Iowa State - need ISU to win
Akron/Buffalo - get the final knockout on Buffalo
Vermont/Maine - just beat Vermont already
Miami/North Carolina - may not matter, but beating Miami wouldn't hurt
Auburn/Arkansas - need Auburn
DePaul/Creighton - sure.
Oklahoma/Baylor - flipping and going with OU on this one due to last games' results
Kansas State/TCU - knock off KSU
Davidson/St. Bonaventure - need some Steph Curry magic
Boise State/San Diego State - knock off BSU

 

Bump.

 

Side note: I'm so glad this thread still matters. After beating PSU, having other teams burst their bubble is evermore important for us.

Adding to how insane these quads are....Big East Tournament is in NYC, St. Johns home city. St. Johns is last in the big east. St. Johns will bring minimal fans to the Big East tournament. BEATING ST JOHNS IN THE BIG EAST TOURNAMENT WILL COUNT AS A FREAKING QUAD ONE WIN.

I have to retract that statement, St Johns has to be top 75 for it to count as a quad one win, so they need to win one of their last two.

I could be wrong, but I would guess that the tournament games for the Big East will count as a neutral win or loss for St Johns.  Either way, I don't see them getting top 75 RPI at this point...per RPI forecast they have to win out in the regular season.  Probably not likely.

Is there an actual video stream to watch the Hornets? I know Stetson is on ESPN3.

The ASUN tournament has the top 4 teams hosting the bottom 4 teams at home.

At least this will be Stetson's last game.

 

Also, I don't want to get anyone's hopes up but Maryland Eastern Shore is pretty terrible. The Hornets have a fighting chance in this one.

Palm tweeted the Big East Tournament would be counted as home games for St. John’s.

St John's plays home games at MSG. UCF doesn't play home games at Disney

 

 

Okay that's interesting. So are Big East games included in St. John's season tickets? That's the big difference I see between the home versus neutral conversation. Then again, they are the nearest distance than all other opponents. Just seems odd that one team is going to get a gift here.

Seems like Quad 1 wins grow on trees in other conferences. If your Nebraska you have beat a top 10 team (Purdue, MSU) on the road or win both of your top 20 (Mich, OSU) home games. But hey if your Baylor, you get: WV Home/Away, TCU Home/Away, Texas Tech Home/Away, Kansas Home/Away, KState Away, Texas Away, Oklahoma Away.

 

Yep.  Like I said in other threads, teams with more Quad 1 and 2 opportunities SHOULD have more Quad 1 and 2 wins.  A team that is has 3 Quad 1 wins in like 9 tries with multiple of those games at home shouldn't be held above us.

*Ohio State was a road game for NU as well.

Forgot about that, so we had one quad 1 conf home game. And our 3 quad one away games were all top 20 teams - not that KState or Oklahoma or Texas on the road bullshit.

 

Yep. I think the committee is smart enough to figure out the straight scoop. That's why Friday could be very important to Nebraska!

No idea how season tickets work though it would make sense that Carnasecca Arena (capacity 5602) season tickets holders would all fit into Madison Square Garden (capacity 20,789) and it would be part of the package. They played 5 home games there this year.
