This......and what KLDM said.  We have a long ways to go before others consider us bubble worthy IMO. Right now we are on the NIT bubble.

Believe me, the NCAA bubble talk will start if we win tonight.

 

The legitimate part was that the threads would be started, not that they would be warranted.

Fair enough. I guess I don't see much distinction between warranted and legitimate, but that might just be semantics. 

 

Yeah, I could have chosen better words.  But it's kind of busy at work this morning, so I have to type fast.  :D

After the Ohio State win my wife asked if people immediately started talking about the NCAA tournament.

She knows all about the HHC Rollercoster.

It's perfectly fine to talk about postseason tournaments. It's only natural. When you go from a point in the schedule when it's like 'how are we even gonna win a single league game this year' to beating Ohio State with more manageable games coming--it's to be expected. We should be talking postseason tournaments all the time. Win tonight and it's gonna go crazy and it should. Beating Ohio State and adding to that by grabbing a win on the road and you're looking at going from 'can't do it' to 'proved we can now just need more'. The NCAA tournament talk should escalate rapidly. People just shouldn't confuse those potential and what would it take conversations with yes, we are definitely going dancing. Let's have fun.

Yep. Nothing wrong at all to discuss what is needed to go to NCAA tourney. If creighton fans are too damn stupid to understand the difference between discussion and thinking we are going,then that is their problem for being so stupid. The goal always us the dance. And taking about it is normal and should happen, no matter how far away it is.

For me to let my mind wonder to NCAA dreams, we would have to get to 4-4 in the league & even then, most of my time would be spent getting upset about the UMASS, Michigan, & Purdue losses.. O well, would be nice to see the team play well & get a road W tonight. Not gonna be easy

While we are having discussions about what it takes to get to the NCAA Tournament, they are over there having discussions about whether a site that has them projected to be a #1 seed is accurate or not. Let that sink in, they aren't currently rated in the Top 25, but a site has them as a #1 seed as of today, and they are discussing it.

 

All of a sudden our bubble conversations don't seem so ridiculous.

Anyone thinking ncaa at this pint should be banned. I thought this was a Husker hoops educated board not a crack head board.

We get to 14-8 lets talk. I would be pumped having a chance to go 11-8 come Sunday but tonight will be tough!

I know that nobody on here cares less about my opinion than you do  ;), but for what its worth I agree with you 100% (aside from the stupid Creighton fans part).  When you play in a league that provides so many chances for signature wins that can put you in the dance, you'd be foolish to not talk about it.  The Huskers don't really have a bad loss and several chances for signature wins.  Miles continues to point them in the right direction and you definitely aren't out of the picture.

No. Record shouldn't matter. Why do we have to wait for a certain record before we start discussing the NCAA tournament? The NCAA tournament should be something we are discussing all the time. It doesn't mean we think we are going just because we are talking about it. Right now, we are right in the thick of the B1G battle, a win tonight would put us even more in the thick, and there is on-court proof that we can compete with any B1G team.

I say we talk about the NCAAs all we want until we are completely eliminated from contention. We shouldn't have to wait to get to some magic number of wins as long as that number is still attainable. Now, we go on and lose the next few...it becomes obvious that it's not possible...then we stop. But no way in hell do we wait to talk about it because of history and how bad we've been in the past.

I tried telling y'all we've got a chance at making the tournament. Finish middle of the pack in the big and win 2 games in the big tourney and who knows

 

Maybe you should make this statement after we have won a few games.  I mean if we lose tonight we suck.  1-5 in the B1G with a game against a very good Minnesota team on the horizon.  

 

It is less about finishing mid pack and more about picking up some solid wins, avoiding bad losses (like PSU) and getting a respectable RPI.  To do that we would probably have to finished 5th-7th in the conference.

 

The reach the middle of the pack from a 1-4 start is so freaking long and tough that it is mind boggling how dismissively people talk about it.
