Tim was a good person and a coach that was easy to root for. His players seemed to like playing for him, he always represented the university well. He did his best to take this program to a new level

Disagree with this 'everyone hates Nebraska' paranoia.   There is some value to killing our next two opponents as opposed to just beating them soundly but if I had to choose between beatdown

Okay so I was just kidding about being close to jumping over Wisconsin, but Michigan and Iowa are within shouting distance now so that's something to aim for.  We are now tied with Purdue, Houston and James Madison for the nation's second longest win streak after UConn and their 11 game streak.  All four of those teams have layup games coming up so it's not likely we will manage to claim #1.  Ken has yet again upgraded our predicted record to 20-11 (11-9).

 

They haven't played since beating Hampton, but San José State is up another spot to #119.

B1G currently 0-2 on the day with a real possibility of going 0-4.  That combined with Creighton getting killed by CSU really disappointing for our metrics.

 

B1G may only be a 3-4 bid league.

 

 

 

Yeah, Pomeroy and Torvik both have us pegged as a 21 win team and that might be needed just for an NIT berth.

Just have to beat them by a greater margin.

 

Problem is CSU didn't beat Creighton because CSU was just great. They beat Creighton because Creighton had an extremely off night. Be nice if their top 2 shooters went a combined 3 for 15 from downtown against us. I'd feel pretty good about our chances of beating them if they shot that bad against us.

People will inevitably keep comparing this year to the 2017-18 season in this regard. But it’s just two pretty different situations. That team didn’t earn a tourney bid. We weren’t on the edge of our seat on selection sunday. Through six games that season, torvik had us at #106. Through six games this year, we’re sitting at #32 and we haven’t played creighton or k-state yet. That team lost 4 non-con games and had 4 single digit wins against low-major non-con teams. That’s a poor resume going into conference play. We took care of business in conference and beat the teams we should’ve beat, but that was a hell of a long ways to climb from the early season metrics. Only ended up with one statement win all year, against Michigan, and finished the regular season #42. So in a down year for the B1G, we still climbed 64 spots from late November to early March.
 

That projected record of 21-10 (11-9) would put Nebraska in the tournament this year.

100% this, plus the Big10 will always be at least 5-6 team league going forward. No chance we only get 3 in these days

Still could have been considered a likely 'in' most years. That season the committee relied heavily on "metrics" because of course they did. And having Ras as chair of the committee also probably doesn't help matters. Nebraska had no way to make up enough ground since the schedule was more front-loaded with the better B1G teams and other usual good ones like Wisc. weren't as good as expected. Still thought NU could have done damage in the Dance, so maybe this year NU will dominate and leave no doubt. Control what they can control, win and win big. I think Hoiberg & Co. have the makings of a very good tourney team, only time will tell the tale of how good. GBR

Yep— and our 21-10, 11-9 projected record this year means that we’d either beat Creighton or KState in the non-con.  We couldn’t lose to both with that projected record.

 

So quality non-con win as well.

After beating Michigan, and entering the top 25, Memphis is getting absolutely manhandled by Villanova by almost 30 points right now. Does this maybe drop Michigan below us in KenPom?

For the love of God why are you rooting for big ten teams to drop below us right now for any reason other than us moving up?

Ohio State has no chill.  The Buckeyes are up 25 spots after a big holiday weekend.  Michigan keeps dropping, so the two swap spots around us, keeping us at #7 in the league.  Ken has downgraded our predicted record to 20-11 (10-10).  Torvik, who likes us a bit more says 21-10 (11-9)

 

San José State drops to #125.
