I think the guy is a schmuck, but let's be honest - he gets it right almost every year, mainly because I'm convinced he's fed info from the committee in many years. I think he nailed all the teams last year.

 

As of right now, his twitter says we are "the second team out" in the "First 4 Out." Somehow Minnesota is team #42, though. I just don't understand it. How are they that far above us? Their resume is about 5% better.

 

Anyway, we jumped from the 5th team out to the 2nd team out.

 

Here's my thoughts:

 

Other bubble teams are winning at an alarming rate. So, here's my thoughts on all of the scenarios for us to be a LOCK. I realize there's a CHANCE we could get in with not quite being this good, but let's look at this as a LOCK since A. All other bubble teams seem to be winning and B. We are Nebraska and will get no benefits.

 

Scenarios for us to be a LOCK:

 

We win both this week, we are in no matter what happens in the Big 10 Tournament.

 

We win at Indiana, but lose to Wisconsin, we need two wins in the Big 10 Tournament to be a LOCK.

 

We lose at Indiana, but win against Wisconsin, we need one win in the Big 10 Tournament to be a LOCK.

 

We lose both this week... we probably need to win the entire Big 10 Tournament to be a LOCK. Three would PROBABLY get us in.

It is tonight to call...if Wichita state less in conference tourney, or a sleeper wins the acc tourney, things like that can slide down teams in the last four in.

Root for chalk...in conference tourneys....especially one bid conferences where the reg season champ will get an at large if they get upset.

This doesn't seem like good news to me. ...

We still seem to have a lot of work to do.

of course we do. Shouldn't surprise anyone. 19 wins has been the target # for a long time

If we win out but don't get a bye, and play the 12 seed

 

This would be possible if

 

Iowa win at Mich St, home vs Illinois

Mich St (loss above), wins on road vs Ohio St

 

We don't have great odds to win our last two but I'd put them above Iowa winning their last two and Mich. St beating an OSU team on the road with a week to prepare.

when  talking about how lunardi gets 67 or 68 teams correct, he is basing off that off his final projections 2 min before its announced obviously, so at that point it really isnt that hard to get 65 plus teams correct, given all 68 is still impressive, but at the end 64 teams are pretty much a consensus, and than hes selecting 4 out of 7or 8 probably  but he knows the trends , what the indivudual committee members are looking for etc.....not that hard is my point, and my other point is his first four out, next four out last four in , etc  with 2 weeks left in season are not neccesssarily as acurate as he makes them out to be.

I simply meant that this "news" isn't good because we have been discussing this ad nauseum for weeks.  Based on the thread title I was hoping something had changed.

I don't see how moving up from the 5th team out to the 2nd team out ISN'T good news, as some have alluded to in this thread. It means there's one time in front of us instead of four, after a less than impressive win against NW with two big games ahead. very good news.

From Sports Illustrated...I'll take it.  But I think we need to do more than just beat Wisconsin. 

 

 

Nebraska: The Cornhuskers put themselves in a very tough spot by losing at Illinois last week. They really couldn't afford another so-so loss on their resume, and now must either beat Wisconsin in their regular season finale or make some serious noise in the Big Ten tournament to get in the field of 68.
