The most Nebraska Basketball thing ever would be in a couple of years, after Ben Johnson proceeds to fail at Minnesota (he's headed that direction despite how things started last season), the Gophers

I think some folks might be confused that the people complaining about NET rankings don't understand how NET rankings are computed. Let me just say I don't care HOW the rankings are computed; I only c

I saw over the weekend on ESPNews that San Jose state has odds to win the national championship this year.  I believe it's 2500-1.

 

We don't.

 

And they continue to show it's not a fluke. After beating #107 CSU on the road, they followed it up with a 3 point loss at #64 Boise St. And San Jose is now about where we started out the season.

Haven't done a NET update in a while-- so here we are.  Safe to say that we can't afford a loss tomorrow if we hopeful for a post season.  Is there a path?  Maybe.  We're 8-7.  Beat Minny twice, go 5-1 in Q2 home games, and steal 1-2 Q1 games and we might sneak in.

 

Current NET- 85 (Our Neighbors 83- Washington St, 84- UNCW, 86- Charlotte, 87-Villinova)

 

Quad Records:

Q1- 1-4

Q2- 1-3

Q3- 1-0

Q4- 5-0

 

Remaining Quad Games

 

Q1- @Purdue, OSU, @PSU, @UMD, @Illinois, @Michigan, @Rutgers, @Iowa

Q2- Illinois, NW, PSU, Wisco, Maryland, Michigan St

Q3- @Minny

Q4- Minny

 

Quad 1- 8 total games... 7 away... 1 home

Quad 2- 6 total games... 0 away... 6 home

Quad 3- 1 game.... 1 away... 0 home

Quad 4- 1 game... 0 away... 1 home

Maybe I'm the only one, but going into this season, having a chance at qualifying for the NIT in late February would have been a win to me in-and-of-itself. We're on pace. But it won't be easy.

I'm with ya. I just didn't think there was a snowballs chance in hell so I didn't even entertain the idea.

Obviously, the season has to play out, but if you got to 17-14 (10-10) in this league, went 1-1 in the B1G Tournament and had zero Quad 3 or 4 losses, you would be being discussed in the room. There is no doubt about that. Good enough? Hard to know. The Big 12 could be a 9-10 bid league.

I appear to be the only fan on here with high aspirations (as opposed to expectations).  I don't think it's unreasonable that DONU can be on the bubble and it's not as complicated as it's being made out to be; the recipe is fairly simple:

 

1) Don't take an L to Minny!

2) Finish in the top 8 of the league (easier said than done)

 

That would give us a resume with no bad losses and a bunch of quality wins. The exact combination of wins/losses and their impact on our NET ranking would determine which side of the bubble we'd land on. But I'm  going to remain (unreasonably) optimistic the guys can get it done. They have already shown they can compete with the most talented teams on their schedule, and with a few lucky breaks...who knows?!?

 

I'm not about to let a couple decades of Nebrasketball trauma crush my dreams. GBMFR!

We all know the drill. We finish 9th in the league and the committee takes #1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/10.

Not only that, but we go to Colorado for the NIT.

KenPom still predicts a 15-16 (8-12) regular season finish for us.  Just need to flip one more win.  Rutgers has made a shocking ascent to the top 15 to start 2023, fellas I think the Scarlet Knights are for real...like legit conference title contenders real.  Glad we only play them once this year.  Wisconsin is a strange duck, they're 11-3 but only ranked #55.  I don't really know what to make of the Badgers but I'm also glad we only play them once this year, but that just has more to do with the fact that I freakin' hate that team and their fans.

 

Tim Miles update:

Rough day at the office yesterday for coach.  A 24 point loss at home for the Spartans against Nevada yesterday has put a bit of a damper on what has been a pretty remarkable season so far.  San Jose State went scoreless from the 10:41 mark in the first half until halftime and a scoring drought like that will doom pretty much any team.

 

And just for @Norm Peterson I'll include a Grant McCasland update this morning.  The North Texas Mean Green are currently 13-3 (4-1) against a pretty pedestrian schedule, their best win being against KP #105 Grand Canyon and their three losses are by 30 points to #10 Saint Mary's, 4 points to #112 UNC Wilmington and a 4 point loss at home to CUSA favorite #36 Florida Atlantic.  It's gonna be NIT for the Mean Green this year unless they win the CUSA tournament. 

 

Okay, that's today's KenPom update.  Here we go!

Let’s do a blind resume:

 

Team A: 9-7 and 2-3 in 3rd ranked conference. 4th highest SOS in the country and a win on the road over Team B.

 

Team B: 9-7 and 3-2 in 4th ranked conference. 5th highest SOS in the country and a loss at home against Team A.

 

Team A is #85 and Team B is #17. I don’t know anything about KenPom but it seems like we are far enough through the season that pre-season expectations or prior results shouldn’t be weighing this heavily. At this point you kind of are who you are. 
 

Also, F team B.

Only moved up one spot in the NET rankings, from 85 to 84.  

Quads 1/2: 2-7

Quads 3/4: 7-0

Good to not have any bad losses, and I think the only other chance for a bad loss the rest of the year would be Minnesota at home.

But, need to rack up some quad 1/2 wins. Will have two big opportunities at home in the next ten days. Illinois would currently be a high quad 2 win, and potentially future quad 1. Ohio State would definitely be a quad 1 win. Hold serve at home (lose at Purdue) and all of a sudden we're in the high 50s/low 60s. 

Strength of schedule is currently 27th and will move up significantly after these next three games.
