Anyone watching this Penn st northwestern game. Good grief. Penn st has shot 43 FT so far with 3:00 left. Horrible home crowd for Penn st. In a pretty big game as well

NW got bent over at the end, wow. NW is pretty good again unfortunately.

Ya but not very deep at all.

Oregon State getting destroyed doesn’t help us one bit. That’s not a good loss at all!

[HuskerActuary]

I love all things Torvik, but I've always found his chance-of-making-tournament odds questionable. I am a big fan of the T-Ranketology and TeamCast though.

Hawaii losing at home to Santa Barbara, Murray State losing at home… our Hawaiian opponents did us no favors last night.

That's because none of them are any good, which was glaringly obvious watching the games.

Would agree that they weren't very good. However, I did think, at the time, that they fell between "decent opponents" and "losing to Santa Barbara, LMU, and Austin Peay"... especially when two of them were at home.

 

I do think Oregon St has the best chance to turn it around of the three-- which is good because we need that one to stay a Q2/Q1.

Up to #33.  Torvik has us at #29.

UCLA didn't drop at all in Torvik's. Stayed at 16. Not sure what their KenPom was prior to the game. Hopefully their NET stays top 15 for the remainder of the year. Would be a quad 1A win.

They were 17th. They dropped 2 spots.

What's crazy is we're 33rd, but we're still only 10th in the B1G.

Ideal scenario imo

[AuroranHusker]

NU is 2-2 in Q1 games

NU is 2-0 in Q2 games

NU is 2-0 in Q3 games

NU is 6-0 in Q4 games

This. Very few games will hurt us this year. Very very few— even home ones.

Here’s what we have left

Rutgers/USC/Minnesota are all must haves. This team is gonna pull off some road wins this year. I can feel it.

[hskr4life]

Minnesota I fully expect to jump back up to Q3 as they’ll knock a few teams off (I hope).

 

UTRGV also jumped back up to a Q3. They’ll teeter on that line the whole year. If they remain there and Minny jumps up to a Q3, we’ll end the year with just 5 Q4 games. That’s pretty remarkable.

[millerhusker]

We're right where we were at this time last year: 12-2 (2-1). Not sure how to check this on KemPom but at this point last year we were Torvik #51 with a 29.4% to make the tourney. Currently we're #29 with a 79.2% chance. 

[49r]

#33 is only good for 10th best in the league.  Big Ten is looking like an 11 bid league right now, wow.

 

Illinois rockets into the top ten after their impressive performance at Oregon.  Michigan and Michigan State are tied for first place in the Big Ten and we are in a 6-way tie for third at the moment.  I like seeing those W's next to teams ahead of us in the rankings, hope we can get some more.  Okay, Here we go!

If you're a subscriber you can look at the detail where it shows you the ranking coming into a game.

We were 49 heading into the Wisconsin game after 14 games.
