We are in the top 100 RPI now!

If NIT bids were awarded solely on RPI we would make the tournament!

I believe we are still in the hunt for a NIT bid...time will tell.

Lose in the championship game and we could be the first sub .500 team to make it

Anything less we don't really have a chance

I predict that if we make the Championship game we will not lose.

 

All we have to do is beat OSU, MSU and IU.

Yeah, I was going to ask:  Who would you all rather face in the championship game?  Michigan, Wisconsin or Indiana?¹

 

Personally, I'd love to beat Crean.  But I'm not sure who the more favorable match-up is. 

 

 

^{1  No, this is NOT a serious question.  I don't think there's any chance in hell we beat Ohio State, much less pick up a win on Saturday to even GET to the title game.  Won't happen.  Period.}

More favorable matchup is Michigan I think.  They can be a little lazy at times and can take some stupid shots at times.  And they aren't awesome inside. 

[royalfan]

And they would be playing for the 4th day also.

Great point.  Michigan.  They lost to Penn State, too, so they've proven they can lose to someone worse than us.  I like it!

[PimpMario]

We can beat OSU; do you believe in miracles?  Ray is going to break 2 of Cary's records today.  Most 3 pointers made in a game and by beating that record he will break Cary's record for most 3 points made in a season.

 

He would need 9 to break the game record.  Shileds, Ubel and Talley each add 15 and that is 75 points.

I like this Nebraska vs. Michigan lineup in the Championship game.  And we win that just because our guys are used to playing so many minutes and theirs won't be so they'll be more tired than us.  Haha.  (Never happen.)

[hskr4life]

Who would we rather play Tomorrow Iowa or Michigan State.  Now thats the real question

[Norm Peterson]

Michigan State for sure.  I would rather we got farther in the tourney than they did.  And facing Michigan State would ensure that we made it farther than them.

This is no longer a possibility
