Postseason Hoops 2025

[HuskerFever]

Might as well start the thread. All things NCAA, NIT, CBC, or Opt-Out.

I’ll have on my Louisville Cardinal Swag & be Rooting Hard for Bellevue West’s very own Chucky Hepburn in their 1st Round matchup…!

Tim Miles getting a better seed in the N.I.T. (with a losing record) at San Jose St. in 2025 than he did at Nebraska at 2018 will never not sting.

Probably not a fair comparison.

 

There were 15 P5 teams in the NIT that year versus 4 this year (after all the opt-outs and alternative CBC tournament).

Stating directly that Miles got a better seed in an NIT tournament this season, with the condition that he has a losing season, then directly comparing that to 2018. Apples and oranges.

I'm well aware. I simply am disappointed about the nature of the 2018 season unfolding how it did. It's not that deep.

Valid. Just misinterpreting what the comparison was about. Only highlighting how drastic the postseason environment has shifted since then. Interesting to see that side-by-side today.

SDSU has no chance tonight.   No way the NCAA lets UNC lose.  And, they are a Q2 team.

They only allow teams like Purdue or Virginia to lose? 

[throwback]

That'll probably be the craziest, most exciting finish we'll see in the entire NCAA tournament. Wow

I don't think the refs are making shots for North Carolina tonight.

UNC can't miss tonight.  It feels like TAM last year against us.

Trev obviously used the classic "ball on a string" trick to ensure that team made their shots. UNC taking notes from that game.

North Carolina could go on to win the tournament but it doesn't change the fact that on Selection Sunday, they should not have made the tournament based on their resume!  Nobody is questioning they don't have a talented roster but fact remains, they didn't have enough quality wins to be in the field.

That was a Quad 2 win, so that didn't help their case yet

I didn't make the perfect bracket but would be great if my bracket was perfect after 1 game

[Vinny]

Brooks Wells, the GISH grad is on the call for this Creighton game.

Same, unfortunately CU looks like the better team.

I hate Creighton but man Mac is schooling Pat right now - UL looks lost

They had zero game plan for Kalkbrenner. I guess shoot contested floaters which they are about 10% on. 

[Navin R. Johnson]

I have not really watched Louisville this year but I know Chucky plays for them.  I watched the first half.  Refer to the first statement.

I don’t like Ashworth at all but man I would’ve traded him for Rollie and Uhlis and a minivan of his wife’s choice
