Michigan (25-7) vs. Nebraska (22-9) game thread

[PimpMario]

Using this one game to decide is no different

What about Palmer's 3 against illinois? If that doesn't go in this team might have a losing record.

[royalfan]

We absolutely are still in the conversation.

Nice play drawn up there

 You're dreaming. They are looking at the same thing the rest of the country sees and probably thinking the same thing, That Nebraska is a team that away from home wilts under pressure.

 

UCF, St. Johns, OSU, Penn State, Illinois and today.. the committee has a long time to disect our team and once you are away from PBA it's almost all bad except one game against the worst Badger team in nearly 20 years.

 

Just looking at things objectively.

We don't lose at home. So we should be able to make it back to New York if we get a 1 seed in the NIT

Silver lining for sure

Agree why you use ALL games and not just today

[Blindcheck]

Remember every bubble team will lose their last game of the year

Simpson makes a free throw. Must be Marge.

I don't ge the whole "We don't deserve to go after this." crowd.  One bad game shouldn't be the difference between a bid or not.

 

I can understand the "we just don't have the body of work" crowd, but the "We don't deserve it because of this game" crowd just seems like we are upset with how things have went today.  Believe me, I am too.

I think I can explain it. Our resume sucks. We aren't in by metrics.

 

BUT many have said we pass the "eye test." I am just at least 3 or 4 committee members watched this game.

 

Since we weren't getting in by metrics and we look bad the eye test method isn't looking good.

 

Maybe our haven't won an NCAA game is enough to get us into a play-in game

DOn't get me wrong, we are definitely still in the conversation, and we should be.

But "what have you done for me lately?"  I would bet most committee members are watching this game and simply because they are human this will be their most recent memory of Nebraska on selection sunday.

But we lost to Kansas...

[jayschool]

Is Arizona allowed to be in the NCAA Tournament? Then we shouldn't want to be a part of such a corrupt scam. N-I-T!

[jayschool]

Simpson now 4-4 from the line. 49 percent on the year. Their day. Our season.

Good god man, I am not going to judge the whole damn season on today.  I think we deserve to be in, the committee may not, I will disagree with them.  You differ in your view

[hskr4life]

We do need Michigan to win the whole damn thing now.  That will help us a little bit.  

 

Like I said.  I think we have done enough for the play-in game.  Most will say no.  It's all in the committees hands now.

Yeah, we should start our own tournament, "Nebrasketball Invites Tournament"

Yep our only hope is the committee wants us to win a playing game as a good story.

[PimpMario]

Maybe we can win 7 straight games and bring home a national championship

[B1G Red]

Stop fouling. Just making it look worse.T

[jayschool]

You could argue that the play-in game is exactly for teams like Nebraska — teams with mixed resumes about whom you're not sure what to think. Right? Stretching? Rationalizing? Sure. It's what we do. We're #Nebrasketball.

[Cazzie22]

Tim, wave the white flag!  End our suffering.

 

[royalfan]

Damn Hawkeyes.  They win that sucker we are in the dance most likely and in the semi's.  That was a huge overtime yesterday.  So disappointing that we are really up against it now.  rasmussen not going to be able to go to bat for us too hard after this.  I cannot believe 13-5 in the Big Ten may not me good enough.  Crazy.  

[colhusker]

We may make it to 30% before this bad boy is over.

[PimpMario]

It sucks that with over 2 minutes the announcers are already pretty far into their analysis of MSU vs UM
