Lohusker 5 Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 (edited) They have a good draw - the PSU/Neb winner gets a reeling Wisconsin. If they get past PSU, I like their chances of getting another shot at Iowa on Friday Edited March 7 by Lohusker Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can't believe we let a kid who hasn't made a 3 since middle school shoot 98% from behind the arc. That's what we get for quadruple teaming the post. I think I covered all of the bases .

HuskerFever 7,327 Posted March 7 Author Report Share Posted March 7 If you're optimistic about a deep Big Ten tournament run, the path is going to run through Penn State, Wisconsin, and Iowa. All those seeds are locked in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We'll see which is right. thrasher31 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's still a decent matchup for us. And it's not like we got blown out. We pretty much gave away a W today. So hopefully that puts a little chip on the shoulder because this third PSU game will likely be tight as well. We just gotta play some good D, because our shooting is improving. I think this is one of two brackets we had a puncher's chance in mins the Iowa destination, which will be a nuking. Still, it would be awesome to get there, and I think we have a shot.

hhcmatt 13,395 Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 Paths to the NCAA tournament 1. Win B1G tournament 2. Indiana or Penn State wins enough games to get into the tournament, giving the B1G 10 teams in the tournament. 4 or more of those teams are hit with a Covid outbreak, meaning that the conference replaces them with one of their four designated backups which includes Nebraska.

Wait-- is this legit? A conference can replace one of their conferences teams in the Big Dance IF one of the teams selected has a Covid outbreak? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think we will be one of those options unless there are 10 teams from the B1G that make the tournament. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just figured the committee got to choose the next team up. Thanks for the info even though we're still a long shot! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
