John Templon....

Not sure who this John Templon cat is; seems to have 5000 followers on Twitter.  He thinks UNC opting out of NIT could put Nebraska in the NIT.

He’s consistently had us as one of the last teams in.  He says though that’s because he favored things like KPI and SOS Vs NET

ESPNU will host the N.I.T. Selection Show at 9 pm CDT tonight.

I still think we're out after seeing how the committee viewed the B1G for NCAA seeding.  

 

I'd like our chances with 2 more opt outs... but I think we're on the outside looking in.

[rwmctrofholz]

Perhaps the same mentality that rigged it for the story of Harrison Barnes facing Doug McDermott, as I've heard lamented, will be used to orchestrate a scenario where Tim Miles could return to Lincoln to face his old team.

You want to get more eyes in Japan than the NCAA tournament?  Put Nebraska in.  LOL

The InterNational Invitational Tournament.

Maybe you are thinking of John Beresford Tipton of "The Millionaire". If so, he'll give us a million dollars when we get into the NIT.john beresford tipton - Bing images. Anyone else who remembers this obscure tv show be sure to honk when you drive by. I'll be waving from the window.

Teams are supposed to be announced at 9pm on ESPNU.

[REDZONEDAN]

I hope we make it but I think that Minnesota loss keeps us out.

[hskr4life]

I believe teams should probably be notified by now… so someone probably knows.

I only went back 15 years, but the only at-large team that was 0.500 that was selected in the NIT was:

 

2019 Butler (16-16)

I think Texas was .500 in 2019.  They won the NIT that year, I believe.

Good catch. Two 16-16 teams in 2019.

UCF takes a bubble spit.  Was not in Templon’s bracket.

Season over.  Another year… another non-post season for Nebrasketball.

Dammit

[Huskerpapa]

Welp...that sucks.

[rwmctrofholz]

Smelly.  Gotta think that beating Minnesota would have put us through.  Who knows, though.

[roscoe]

Welp, more time for coaches to study the portal and find some guys to make a difference.

I was thinking that or blowing that game against MSU although to be fair MSU was just on fire. Regardless these guys had chances in a few games they lost. Them the breaks

[MichHusker]

UCF with an incredible 1 win over teams in the NCAA tourney on their resume. It does seem like NIT committee cares far more about metrics than who you actually beat

[HuskerFever]

For whatever it's worth...
