Bubble Watch

[bball23]

We want Illinois to win tonight I assume?  Makes the loss seem less damaging?  And possibly more importantly to get them out of that potential 6-11 draw?  What do you guys think?

royalfan...here is my only worry about Illinois (and its a long shot obviously).  Say they beat Michigan tonight and then win @Iowa to end the year. That makes them 8-10 with a couple nice non-conf wins and some good B10 wins.  If they still have Minnesota as "in" and more than likely being 8-10 in the B10, maybe they look at Illinois?  Especially considering they would have wins late vs NU, @MSU, vs Michigan and @Iowa.  Again, a long shot....but you never know?  

[The Coach]

I see that Creighton is sucking again tonight.  Thanks Jays.

Has anyone looked at K-State's resume? They are 15 - 1 @ home. Their loss was to Northern Colorado (212). They have 2 road wins against TCU (199) and TT (121). Their best non con win was against Gonzaga (25) in Wichita. They have 7 wins against the top 50, but 6 of them are @ home.

Hell is listening to Bill Raftery randomly say words while Creighton fails through the Bubble East

[The Coach]

Doc also lets us down, as Iowa State loses to Baylor

[lanigan123]

lol. I love Creighton getting beat. Iowa State losing hurts. I think we need to win Wednesday.

[husker11]

Marquette and providence headed to OT. Marquette hit a 3/4 court shot at the buzzer but it was just late

[husker11]

Going to Double OT

[doc1394]

What a brutal night for us bubble-wise

[GoBigRed]

It's becoming pretty clear we need to win at Indiana. Get it gone guys. No margin for error now. We're in the NIT right now and we have to win our way out of it.

[huskerhook]

Nebrasketball realistically needed to go 3 and 1 in their last four to feel good about its chance. The loss to Illinois was that loss. NU needs to win its last two. Way to much had to go right otherwise. Just win baby

[nuled2dance]

Team is well aware of what needs to be done.. I expect a big time effort tonight...unlike Illinois we may not win but we will fight like hell. All info out of Bloomington is this tram is fired up and focused. Not tired and no back issues for TP

• Nebraska (18-11, 10-7): When Nebraska survived a second-half surge from Indiana and emerged with an 82-72 road victory on Wednesday night, the Huskers didn't just keep their NCAA tournament hopes alive. They also paved the way for the biggest basketball game in Lincoln in years, maybe decades. Nebraska's home game against Big Ten runner-up Wisconsin on Sunday is probably win-and-you're-in for the Huskers. In that scenario, Nebraska would have won 11 of its last 14 games including victories over the Badgers, Michigan State, Ohio State and Minnesota. Some hope would remain with a loss, but Nebraska would probably need a run in the Big Ten tournament. The better chance for the Huskers is a marquee game on their home floor.

We won 82-72? Where is yahoo getting its scores from?

[lanigan123]

Palm has Xavier one of the last 4 teams in...another loss for Xavier would be nice, not sure a lose to Nova would move the needle much.  Big East may only get 3 teams in.....with four teams ducking it out for one of the last spots. 

[lanigan123]

I think we want nova and msu to win. I want Iowa at the 5 seed.
