Question if a guy bought some on secondary market say today can they turn around and sell them again on secondary market after selection show?

I bought all session tickets for Omaha from a block of seats on Saturday. Today the rest of the seats in the block are listed for $230 (30%) more than they were Saturday. I wish I would have bought sooner, but glad I didn’t keep waiting.

The thing is it’s a pretty safe bet they’d put Kansas and/or Iowa State in Omaha. They are trending for 2 and 3 seeds.

 

Now whether they’d elect to put Nebraska in there with them is a different story, essentially removing their home court advantages if they were to play us in round 2.

Hmmmm… ISU in Omaha. Would the Committee factor this potential matchup in where teams are placed?

Nebraska (10) Salt Lake City vs. (you guessed it) BYU

• If we win, we'd play No. 2 seed Arizona.

 

 

I actually wouldn't mind this at all. NU can beat both of those teams, even without their best performance.

I do think some bracketologists are severely underrating our seed range right now.

 

I think our Non-Con SOS will be holding us back should we ever be in discussions for a 6 maybe 7 seed…. But we’re firmly in the 8-9 range as it stands today with 3 to go, the BTT, and a Q1 road game.

KU & ISU are the most likely top 4 seeds based on the "bracketing principals" the committee talks about. Especially since Creighton cant go because they are the hosts.

Brackets I’ve seen since the win last night all have us in the 8-9 range. And Lunardi posted his bubble about an hour ago. We’re no longer listed in the Last 4 Byes, implying we’re at worst a 9 seed.

One good thing is that we were the only game going yesterday so if the selection folks were watching, we certainly looked the part of an NCAA tourney team,  

This is something I noticed a lot. With all eyes focused on Nebraska, well because there wasn’t many games on. We put up a good showing and I think people noticed and moved us up now.

 

Also something to watch with NW seeding is them losing Barry (I think) for the season.

They had Auburn as a 9 seed play 2 hours from campus in Birmingham.  If we are a seed that matches up in a pod with a higher seed there is zero issue with us playing in Omaha.

South Carolina is one I'll always remember when Crazy Eyes Martin was there - 2017? 2018? - the NCAA put them in Greenville as a 7 seed - they used that momentum and went all the way to the Final Four - made some cash on that team's run that year.

I’m watching our friend Kerr Kriisa playing against Kansas St.  I wonder if he has any regrets choosing West Virginia over us?  I wouldn’t change anything as I’m more than happy with how everything has worked out for us this year.

Why does Lunardi's bracket update more infrequently than the rest? Isn't that his only job?

Big time.  Win out.  This team looks like a 4 seed.

[REDZONEDAN]

KState going to blow a 20+ point lead.

Nope. No negativity allowed on this board.

His only job is to get insider info 1 hour before the brackets are announced.

25 point lead with 13:40 left is gone at 2:54...SMH

[ShortDust]

What a complete disaster this is for KState at home! So much for that Q1… yikes

[hskr4life]

70-48 with 10 left and now down 79-77.

 

Lordy I can’t rely on my Alma mater for anything.

[cipsucks]

It's going OT.  The fighting Snyders will win this one!

[REDZONEDAN]

KState National Champs in overtime.

[cipsucks]

K State wins.  Huh...

[hskr4life]

So a 1 point MOV… how’s that affect their NET?

That, and keeping his hair from flying away

[Nebrasketball1979]

#1 in the country in defensive efficiency since the calendar flipped to February.  That will play quite well in March.

Only down one spot in KenPom. A blowout would’ve been nice but thankful that they at least won.

 

We’ll see how this affects them mentally going forward. Even after pulling it off that could’ve damaged some psyches. Hopefully not!

We are such a scouting problem.
