IU wins. Can’t say it makes me sad to see Wisco lose.

Plus we beat Indiana twice so will that help slightly more with metrics or no?

But if Northwestern loses, doesn't that put Wisconsin in 3rd place?

Kentucky wins at Mississippi State.  First time I really watched Kentucky. Freshman Reed Sheppard can play.

4th place

Wake Forrest with a bad loss at Notre Dame.  Sallis had an awful game. He was 2 of 11 from the field with a season low 7 points and a costly late turnover.

 

BYU with a huge win at Kansas.

Nebraska now has the 2nd longest win streak, since Miss. St. lost.

 

NU is tied with Tenn., which are the only 2 teams behind #1 Houston.

Yeah a three way tie would result in Wisconsin coming out on top. So we’d still be 4th. Northwestern would move to 5th.

Results (2/27/24): Moved into 4th (thanks Wisconsin) and Iowa still has bubble life.  As always, there were bubble winners and losers.  Nevada with a big time shot to beat CSU and BYU with probably the biggest win.

LOL so funny net thing… it was such a big win for ND that it’s not a Q2 loss for Wake because of how far ND jumped in the NET.

Wisconsin is full on in a free fall, they ain't finishing 3rd.

Idk that Fred could ever get 2 Ts in a single game.  So we should be good there. lol

How many T's did TM get during his time at Nebraska?

When the states are high, like they are in the NCAA Tournament anything can happen.

His T’s against Baylor, at least the one, was complete hogwash.

I don't recall anytime that Miles was in danger of being tossed whilst at NU, well, except for once.

 

I do recall Tom Eades T-ing up Shavon Shields directly in front of NU's bench, with an emphatic "BOOM!" Sheesh Louise!!

His heart condition has mellowed Freddy out quite a bit. He still gets fired up... occasionally.

All I'm saying is from what I've seen his most recent contemporaries in the fired up department is somewhere between Bob Ross and Mr. Rodgers
