Not when you realize St. Bonaventure is considered to be a far superior team (in the RPI rankings at least) than Nebraska. Sad.

 

particularly sad when you look at their KenPom page:

So I take it after tonight the A-10 is a tough league top to bottom?

 

Well, the A-10 is now fairly solid in becoming a 2-bid league at this point. It's a shame though, because if we swapped our schedule with St. Bonaventure, I'm confident they don't play it anywhere near the success that we have.

Not the worst night. Some SEC teams really made it tough on themselves. The mid-majors are holding on, and Oklahoma is giving itself the ride of their lifetime.

Wednesday's Games of Interest:

 

Big Ten Tourney: Illinois/Iowa - might as well improve our worst loss
Providence/Xavier - teams keep trying to knock Providence down
LSU/South Carolina - a USC win would help muffle conversations
Pittsburgh/Notre Dame - is this even worth it?
Ole Miss/Kentucky - again, probably not worth it
Big Ten Tourney: Rutgers/Minnesota - played both twice; improve Minnesota
Villanova/Seton Hall - cannot have a Seton Hall win here
Texas A&M/Georgia - still convinced that UGA is out
Florida State/Clemson - maybe a Clemson win will help is FSU falters in the conference tournament?
Syracuse/Boston College - huge win/win
Butler/St. John's - another huge win/win
Eastern Illinois/Tennessee State - RPI boost

 

Thursday's Games of Interest:

 

Big Ten Tourney: Wisconsin/Maryland - improve Maryland's RPI
Big Ten Tourney: TBD/Michigan - need Michigan to win, then lose to us
Big Ten Tourney: Northwestern/Penn State - improve PSU's RPI
Wichita State/UCF - RPI
Tulsa/East Carolina - just for good measure
Morgan State/Delaware State - just one more win, please
Virginia/Louisville - really need this one
Western Kentucky/Middle Tennessee - going with knocking off Middle Tennessee
NC State/Georgia Tech - probably does nothing for us
UT San Antonio/North Texas - RPI win/lose
Arkansas State/Louisiana - knock off Louisiana
Big Ten Tourney: TBD/Indiana - TBD
Oregon/Washington State - keep Oregon out of the conversation
California/Arizona State - ASU is getting closer to the bubble
North Dakota/Sacramento State - RPI
Oregon State/Washington - knock off UDub
Long Beach State/UC Santa Barbara - RPI

Thanks for doing this, @HuskerFever. Trimming down tonight's list, it looks to me as if the most important games are:

- Boston College over Syracuse (probably #1)

- Xavier over Providence

- South Carolina over LSU

 

I think you accidentally bolded Kentucky instead of Ole Miss, but like you said, not that important.

 

I'm also pretty sure that Seton Hall is in either way win or lose tonight.
