Fixed your post for you. Look, cut the sour grapes crap, it makes the rest of us look bad. When a team whips you, it's always best to man up and admit it. Not whine about playing the starters too much. Used to hear the same crap when we'd kick Big 8 teams like K-State's ass in football back in the day. Let's keep our mouth shut until we get another crack at the....and beat them!!! Then, let's start talking. He isn't saying we didn't get our butts kicked. He is saying sans the first 15 minutes of the game..we beat them. Our starters beat theirs. No sour grapes... Your comment was off. Who won the game and by how many? Bradley Bradley Bradley.... You sound like you may have one or two sweater vests in your closet. I don't care who won. Go back to the thread the day of the game. Everything will be explained there. My only pint is that if we want to be big boys, we accept our successes and failures. That game in Omaha was an utter embarassment, to spin it any other way, or look for Norm's silver linings is small time and not what we need to be about anymore. Those days should be over. If they dress as Wisconsin fans in a bar, then it's ok to punch them? A guy who wants to make Nebraska fans look like rednecks who pick fights in bars while then advocating that we lick the toes of Creighton fans? How many accounts have you had banned on here now? Seriously...go wank it somewhere else besides this board. You list your location as Lincoln. Every post has been made from Omaha. You are such a loser.

That's really corny

Those are the old myths and superstitions...Don't put that shit on the new US ALWAYS.

I heard a rumor that he had Notre Dame stuff hanging in the family basement...

this team has won the most important tournament of all. Our hearts.

3 of 4 guys on ESPN just picked us (Bilas, Digger and Greenberg)

Boned up.

This guy and his inside info. It always comes true!

Scott has me;) Team has had our hearts for years if your not a band wagon fan.....our hearts are just beating stronger now

I know the NCAA committee says it doesn't look for interesting matchups, it's always just a coincidence when it happens. But is it possible they go out of their way to match us with a Big XII team? The reason I ask is each of the past 2 seasons, didn't Nebraska's women get matched with Big XII teams, Kansas in the first round two years ago and they played in Texas A&M's regional last year right? Met the Aggies in the 2nd round I believe. So maybe Texas, Baylor, or Oklahoma would be around the 6-7 seed line to perhaps match with NU as a 10-11 seed? Just a thought for those of us who believe in conspiracy theories.

I think they did us a favor popping us into a high 11 seed and sticking us in San Antonio, where there are a lot of Husker ex-pats. Let's hope that city's as good to us in hoops as it is in football. Man, it's been too long.

I have no complaints on the draw. Baylor has been jekel & hyde this year. Sure San Antonio is only 2 hrs from Waco, but there's a lot of Husker alumni in Texas. Hope they turn out in full force to offset the home court advantage for Baylor. The 2 big guys will make it difficult for us to do what we like (drive to the bucket) but hopefully we can get them in foul trouble & hit some jumpers against that zone. Glad to be in & not in the play in game. All the other 6 & 7 seeds have their disadvantages, but for us to make a sweet 16 run this draw is perfect as we could have a very familiar opponent in round 2 (one that we have something to prove against).

I have my ticket! Cannot believe Huskers are coming to San Antonio!!!! I don't like the match up with Baylor but would love a rematch with the Jays. Plus, Iowa State, North Carolina and Providence are going to be there. Tickets are going to be hard to come by when Hilton South heads south!

Yes. 90% chance I drown in river walk if we beat Baylor.

Fist in the air...not in the couch.

Wish I could +1 this, but I'm on mobile right now.

My wife has even become excited for the Huskers.

So this is what it looks like in the lower level. Niiice.

Man, getting so nervous. I think we are in, I'm just really wanting to avoid the play in round.

So we really won't know until sometime during the show? Does that mean it could be at 5:02 or 5:59?

Lane Grindle ‏@lanegrindle 26s 1 positive: in about 2 hrs we no longer will hear from bracketologists for awhile. Tired of them pretending they are on the committee.

where we going to be at?

Not a bubble item - but which #1 and #2 seeds get punished by having an under-seeded Mich St in their region? Whew. They're a new animal this week so far.

3 of 4 from the HB family will be there

a name was not passed along also?

No Yes

CBS will have a live feed from PBA for the selection show. Show up! Wear red! Be LOUD!!!

They won the tournament for the best league statistically in college hoops so I don't see why it would be so bad to pattern some things after them.

Creighton can't win a Big East title, regular season or tournament. Wouldn't have won the Mo Valley either. I would think that would hurt.

Guys -- I crunched numbers many different ways. I see us comfortably in the field probably as an 11 seed. That said, we may move to a 12 for seeding purposes. I can't see anyway we are left out, though I could see us in Dayton. That said, these are some possible 5/6 opponents. Not scared of any of them really. Carolina, Oklahoma, St. Louis, UConn, UCLA, VCU, Texas. I'll be curious to see our match up. I think we can match up with just about anybody in that range. And, I think Miles and the boys are pissed. You'll never see a meltdown like that again under his watch.

Hey guess what, we've won as many trophies as Creighton has this year.

I see what you did there.

LOL at the blue birds - their once in a lifetime team choked away the regular season title and had the tourney title gift wrapped for them & choked that away too.

I know. But it's true.

Why does anyone other than Doug take shots for Creighton?

I used to bounce around between 1480 and 93.7 on the drive home, but 93.7 won me over with thier Nebrasketball coverage. I'd love to see a 93.7 post game show. Player interviews, assitant coaches, maybe have ex-players involved like Piatkowski or Chubick.

Word I have heard is that Miles isn't too excited to recruit any Omaha Central players.

Well, Terran turned Miles down once at CSU. Obviously, coach was his 2nd option. So you never know. That just doesn't sound like how TM operates to me. He's all about relationships and no hard feelings, it seems to me.

I'm biased because I knew Gaskins from my UNL days, but I'm a big fan on 93.7. I think their basketball coverage is top notch.

93.7 is better than the garbage 1620 has on from2-6

I also agree that they've done their homework and feel very confident that they're in, hence the watch party. But even if they aren't, this is a great chance to celebrate a terrific season and thank the players and coaches for what they accomplished. Six weeks ago it was tough to imagine us even getting an NIT home game, let alone being able to have an NCAA watch party. Now that doesn't mean we won't be upset if we're somehow left out of the NCAAs, but I hope people don't stay away just because of that small chance. The players deserve a huge crowd there to celebrate the (likely) NCAA bid and the season as a whole. It's been a while, so I'm not sure of protocol for this type of thing, but do we rush the floor when we appear on the bracket? Or do we have to wait until the full field is announced?

I turn over to 93.7 after the post game show is over anyway, so count me in as loving the idea, Mike.

Mike, I'd love to see this happen. Really appreciated the post game show yesterday. I think this basketball season has been where you guys at 93.7 have found your stride, or niche, per se. I think it took the station a while to find that and with the market shifting in Omaha, you guys seemed to have pounced here in Lincoln. Keep up the good work. I'd be very interested to see a post game show develop next season.

No offense to Norm, but I think his question is a losing attitude. I've watched us for most of my life, and I finally feel like we're good enough, and have a good enough coach. I think looking for silver linings is something that we have made ourselves do over the past decade plus. We shouldn't be accepting, which you are by talking about silver linings, I played my share of big games in high school, my coaches never talked about silver linings. You are either a winner or a loser in basketball. I think we're winners, but I think this kind of attitude from fans makes it easier to accept losing. So what you're saying is, "If you ain't first, you're last." Thanks Ricky.

OMG ITS MIKE WELCH <3

Our press break was, honestly pitiful. The little ring around the rosy we would do before cutting was obviously not working on Craft and Della Vagina (I think that's how you spell it...). Would have liked to see us maybe try something different.....like at all. A simple 4 across would have worked. Really unless Leslie was in, any of our players can reasonably handle the ball for a short period of time, so bringing the all up to help break the press makes sense. Also could have opened up the deep ball. Plus, setting a few screens may have helped instead of just trying to out run Aaron Craft, which is probably a poor choice...

There's no guarantee the "play in" games will be 11 & 12 seeds is there? Isn't the "play in" seeding determined when they actually seed the entire field & where the last "at larges" end up in the overall seeding (including the conference champions). I think the projected brackets just arbitrarialy use 11 & 12 seeds. The last at larges could be any seed. It just depends on how many of those "mid major" champions are seeded higher than the last at larges overall. Right??

just a random thought while I try to stay on topic: Ive always wondered if ncaa players talk to refs after the game to get to know them and befriend them in order to get calls favored their way.... former husker Lance Jeter posted something similar on twitter where he said the refs knew him by name and would give him a warning after warning instead of a foul
