hskr4life Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 2 hours ago, ConkintheCorner said: id be shocked if they put us in Omaha unless we are a top 4 seed. Same. My guess is that we’ll get a seed that doesn’t play in Omaha. For example, if we’re only the 11/12 cut and the 11 plays in Omaha… we’ll get a 12 seed. Just speculation.

royalfan Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Believe the seeding is done first and then they logically sort out the locations that make the most sense, starting with the top teams playing near home. I don’t think they would worry about us playing in Omaha, but also won’t they to make it happen as we won’t be high up on the pecking order.

Unless NU can put together a massive win streak to become an unstoppable force, it's a daunting task. That type of gargantuan effort could garner attention as a top 4 seed-line, but yeah, barring that, it's a sheer long shot at this point in time.

hhctony Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 22 hours ago, OmahaHusker said: Does that mean they'd most likely try and not put us in Omaha as like an 8-9 seed? I do remember last year that Auburn was a 9 seed but played in Birmingham, which was a 2 hour drive from their campus. While it happens occasionally, I'd be shocked if this occured. But you make a great point there about last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busch Light Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 Wouldn’t mind Memphis. Kind of a crap hole but their food is unreal. Should we win our first NCAA tourney game, I’ll shut down Beale Street and drink them out of Busch Light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might have some decent food, I've heard but that depends on what you consider BBQ. And they have Grizzlies, too, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuroranHusker Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Say, NU is in the First Four & win that, might as well keep drivin' to Pittsburgh, PA. Win a couple there, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
