hhctony Posted January 23, 2018 Report Posted January 23, 2018 Would anyone care to see a "Selection Committee" Games of Interest thread that would be updated daily? I figure we just as well go "all-in" on the tournament talk and would be willing to put this together if others had interest. runsoastowin, GBR1197, ShortDust and 2 others 3 2 Quote
hskr4life Posted January 23, 2018 Report Posted January 23, 2018 100% and was thinking about starting something like this, but please take it away. I would happily post in the thread. Quote
hskr4life Posted January 23, 2018 Report Posted January 23, 2018 Were you thinking something like all games of interest? Or just bubble? Quote

Oklahoma State (92) at Texas Tech (8) Vanderbilt (141) at Tennessee (12)-- This would drop Tennessee to just 4-4 in conference play. Kansas (7) at Oklahoma (11)-- Probably both in, but a KU win helps our RPI and outlook. Alabama (26) at Ole Miss (102) Creighton (35) at St. John's (81) Northwestern (127) at Minnesota (75)-- We've beaten both, but having Minny in the top 75 would give us a tier 1 Road win. Texas A&M (33) at LSU (101) Mississippi State (76) at Kentucky (19) Teams we want to win in BOLD I would think. ** Will update after games are played and highlight winning team in green. Huskers night off to a pretty good start with Tennessee being the only bad result. Though they probably will be in anyways. Also, OU, but that was just to make us look better.

hskr4life Posted January 24, 2018 Report Posted January 24, 2018 Good night for the Huskers bubble chances. Don't look now, but Northwestern is quietly sitting at 4-5 just a game back from us. That Minnesota game though... certainly looking a lot more winnable on the road. Minny is probably out of an at large bid now as well. Quote
ShortDust Posted January 24, 2018 Report Posted January 24, 2018 This is awesome. Thanks for doing this guys! Quote

Minny is probably out of an at large bid now as well. Minnesota could maybe - maybe - get on the bubble at 10-8, since they only had 2 non-conference losses.. That means one more loss, but, they are at Purdue, at Michigan, have Michigan State at home, as well as Nebraska and Iowa at home and Indiana, Wisconsin, and Iowa on the road. They're more likely to have 4 or more losses than one. Stick a fork in 'em. Northwestern probably needs 11-7 to see the bubble. So, they'd need a 7-2 finish against Michigan State at home, two games against Michigan, two games against Maryland, two games against Wisconsin, and road games against Iowa and Rutgers. So they'd have to either beat MSU and go 1-1 against Michigan or Maryland, or lose to MSU and sweep either Michigan or Maryland, and win all of the other three road games as well as against Wisconsin at home. That's possible but not real likely. Quote
bball23 Posted January 24, 2018 Report Posted January 24, 2018 Minnesota's loss dropped them to #100 in the RPI last night. According to my CBS site, we dropped from 66 to 70 last night. GOTTA win this road game tonight! Quote

But the game's in Indiana. Uconn (85) vs. SMU (53) No chance of UConn eclipsing us, is there? Middle Tennessee (23) vs. UTSA (268) Go, 'Runners! Ohio State (14) vs. Penn State (133) Just can't root for Penn State. Arizona (17) vs. Colorado (66) Just can't root for Colorado Wichita State (29) vs. UCF (67) Is it better for a former opponent to win, or for a fellow bubble-mate to lose? Arizona State (30) vs. Utah (62) ASU looking less formidable, but it appears Utah is more our competition here. UCLA (64) vs. California (176) Go, Bears from Berkeley, though I can't believe the Pac-12 gets more than three teams in. Saint Mary's (36) vs. BYU (73) BYU needs to go down, now and in the conference tournament. Portland (232) vs. Gonzaga (57) Seriously? Do the Pilots even have a chance?

royalfan Posted January 26, 2018 Report Posted January 26, 2018 Have a hard time thinking Penn St. not better for us since we play them twice and Ohio St. once. Quote

This seems like a more appropriate thread to post what I just posted in a different one. I agree with you. This would be good for us, I think. We play Penn State twice, Ohio State once; we didn't beat OSU so them losing does not hurt a quality win; and heck, Ohio State losing could MAYBE bring them down closer to us in the Big Ten seeding.

49r Posted January 26, 2018 Report Posted January 26, 2018 more precisely, a team like Ohio State will not drop enough after a loss to be anything else but a Tier 1 game. Penn State winning could help pop them up a tier? Plus we play PSU twice... Quote
Nebrasketball1979 Posted January 26, 2018 Report Posted January 26, 2018 Hmm...wonder if the BTN guys will rationalize what looks like a great PSU win to Ohio St being tired? Quote
