Early bracketology

[huskerchode]

Here you go!  We are a way-too-early 5 seed.  Iowa an 8.  UConn a 1, Creighton a 5.

Yep it's way way to early.

Not sure about the 5 seed, the 2025 team has along way to go to gel with all the new players, and the loss of seniors.

But what the heck, number 5....will take it !

It's fun to dream...dream big ! Anything's possible

I think we should move up, but not enough to have a manageable game 2.

I was looking through various teams' schedules/records the past few days, and I have to wonder why Creighton is ranked?  Is it just so there can be another ranked team in the UConn+other teams conference (so the conference doesn't appear so weak)?  I cheer for Creighton frequently (unless they are playing us), and I'm all for them having strong athletic teams (makes our little state look better to have two DI schools do well in various sports, and now it appears UNO has a good men's team as well, so go Mavs), but outside of us early in the season, who has Creighton beaten to earn an at-large bid in the tourney?

I'll let you off easy for the Go Mavs. That one-- doesn't really bother me.

 

However, I can't let you off the hook for saying you actively cheer for Creighton. I'd rather Creighton lose every game they play than have a state with more than one team doing well. 

 

That is all-- carry on the good bracketology talk.

Creighton getting some love from pollsters is kind of like Michigan State getting love. Not sure either one should be. Both on good years should be NCAA bound but ranked, well that can be debated.

Creighton has a nice ball club.  UConn is on another level.

Nebraska would have beaten Creighton, had the Huskers had Potts and a healthy Weidner.
