NIT bracket announcement

[northwillriseagain]

3pointer doesn’t fall against Kansas, about an 8 seed in NCAA. Did fall, 5 seed in NIT.

[aksarben]

This completely shows that the NCAA had (and still has) absolutely no respect for Nebraska. At this point I honestly couldn't blame the guys if they just said forget it this season is over. Just to add to this because I know we'll have to play this game I can't wait to see how the NU Media Relations Department is going to put a positive spin on this travesty.

How do you recruit to this shit? "Hey, son. Come to Nebraska, have our best season in a generation, and we'll get to go to God-forsaken Mississippi to play a first-round road game in the NIT."

[Bugeaters1]

here is something interesting.

I honestly think the early tournament, with so many games on BTN, made us too forgettable.

This just sucks.  I am devastated.  What a flippen lack of respect .  Can't even get awarded with a home game.  My gawd, this is just ridiculous.

Judging from today it would not have mattered we needed at least 5 more wins to overcome the spiteful crayton  ad.

[Huskerpapa]

Number four team in the Big Ten.  What do you get for that effort...NUMBER FIVE seed in the NIT and a road trip to boot.

So 27-5 and 15-3 in the conference gets us to Dayton? Have we switched to the Mountain West?

Do we know when the game will be

I'm guessing on Wednesday as ESPN just announced their full TV slate for Tuesday games and they have the rights to all NIT games.

According to the NIT, these teams had better seasons than the Big Ten's No. 4 seed, which finished 22-10 and 13-5 in the conference:

1. Notre Dame 20-14
2. Penn State 21-13
3. Oregon 22-12
4. Marquette 19-13
5. Baylor 18-14
6. Mississippi State 22-11
7. Middle Tennessee 24-7
8. Louisville 20-13
9. USC 23-11
10. Western Kentucky 24-10
11. Stanford 18-15
12. Oklahoma State 19-14
13. St. Mary's 28-5
14. Boise State 23-8
15. LSU 17-14
16. Utah 19-11

These are our peers:

1. Temple 17-15

2. Boston College 19-13

3. Washington 20-12

 

The 6, 7, and 8 seeds are all from mid-majors and low-majors. In other words, we're the worst of the worst from the power conferences, having finished tied for fourth in the Big Ten.

 

I have been living a delusion, doctor. Please increase my dose.

I’m writing Bill Moos and asking him to ask Delaney and NCAA some very tough questions.

im also going to ask Moos to hire me as “Associate AD for NCAA Ass kissing and Politics” 

Delaney obviously didn’t go to bat for the conference, the BTN didn’t either, if anything they fed into the national media’s rhetoric about our resume.

I will watch us. But no way in hell the NCAA gets one minute of TV time at my house.

[brfrad]

I was just joking about being on the NIT bubble.

Better than what other big ten coaches have molested.

Spot on, Delaney was all in for nothing but getting his name mentioned with Madison Square Garden.

We were damn near playing in the CBI.  This is absurd.

I haven’t looked at the bracket, but any chance of an all B1G final with us and PSU?

He should love us.  He made millions with out doing any work.  They would ignore phone calls from recruits if their favorite soap opera was on.

No, same side of bracket.
