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.

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

 

Orrrrrr that we have done enough looking at our overall body of work to earn the right to play in the dance.  That is my personal opinion.

Matthews from the FT line: 53 percent for the year. Today? Perfection.

I’m going to watch next Sunday hoping our name is called. I hope we impressed the committee somehow with our play down the stretch. Our resume just has too many holes...not enough good wins and no good wins on the road. Not our fault the Big Ten was very down...but unfortunatly it’s probably going to keep us on the wrong side of the bubble.

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.  

 

yeah, it's not fair, but we are where we are. this was the one scenario NU could not afford. To play this poorly in a game where a lot of the people agitating against our invitation would be watching to see if we were "for real" or not. Well, now they "know". And if the committee let us in, they'd get an earful. I'm not sure we're worth that kind of effort on their part. And I wouldn't blame them a bit.

I just want to punch Moe Wagner in the face, granted I would need a 6 foot ladder

I mean... The committee aren't computers... They are humans. Metrics say we are out. But maybe the humans will put us in.

[FredsSlacks]

our only chance at the play in game is if like 10 other bubble teams crap the bed which seems very unlikely.

[PimpMario]

We beat Michigan this year on point differential!

Metric are only as good as those putting numbers in.  The $EC teams that are 18-12 are in.  Why? Because Joe LuNARDi gives them more credit for beating each other.

Jordy consoling Anton on the bench.  That is really heart warming to see, hopefully it means the team chemistry will keep these guys together over the next two weeks and what is sure to be a tense offseason

[Bugeaters1]

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

30.7

Yeah, it will be tense

Final Stats:

 

[Mr. Red]

Really proud of the team.  THis one hurts today, but let's not lose sight of how much we also accomplished this year

[B1G Red]

Watching this game felt a lot like watching the game against Baylor in 2014. The moment just seemed way too big for us. 

[jayschool]

Nebraska's 3-point D has been good all year. It wasn't today. Michigan's 36 percent for year, but today they were at 48 percent.

 

Michigan also at 65 percent for the year from the line. Today, there were at 80 percent.

 

Nebraska's own shooting has been decent all year, 43 percent from the field. Today it wasn't: 30 percent.

 

C'est la vie. (That's French for "Fuck it all, anyway.")

We were off our game all game. Doing things we haven’t done since November. Defensively we were getting lost in transition. Pick and pop again was murdering us. Offensively we went back to hero ball and the staff or the players couldn’t get it turned around. We looked like November Husker basketball. Not the team we watched the last two months.

Matt and Kent talking about getting to Scout the gym for the nit

[tjp21]

Well there's 9 days until Selection Sunday.  Maybe the committee forgets how terrible we looked out there.  That's about the only good thing I can say about that performance.

[hskr4life]

Getting the pity party on Big 10.  Not shredding us, but not giving us a lot either.

Yep.  Not out of it, but need some results to go our way.
