Starters minutes are going up. How much? It’s possible they could all go over 30. Still think some are closer to 27-28 but Palmer and roby aren’t coming out unless they have to.

Nice article by Lee. For those without subscription, gives specific reasons Watson is all N and reiterates the team is motivated by an NIT bid last year. Anyone else who read it, I’m curious to know your thoughts? https://www.omaha.com/huskers/plus/barfknecht-glynn-watson-s-commitment-to-husker-basketball-nearly-brings/article_84f57d61-5414-5347-ba33-c0ea969762de.html

I’ve always thought, for the motive of the fan, unless were talking about a lottery pick...chanting one more year puts in the player’s head that he IS good enough to go pro. But if you know he’s thinking about it, absolutely a pretty cool chant.

Are we positive? He’s been in college three years and has not graduated yet. Plus, Norfolk was reporting he was a sit one play one.

Seniors: G James Palmer, F Isaac Copeland, PG Glynn Watson. Juniors: F Isaiah Roby, C Jordy Tshimanga, G-F Dachon Burke. Sophomores: G Thomas Allen, G-F Nana Akenten, G-F Thorir Thorbjarnarson. Freshmen: PG-SG Amir Harris, G-F Karrington Davis, F Brady Heiman. I don’t think this is anything to scoff at. Need a newcomer or two to be able to contribute. Recruiting after the season will be huge. Is this season more pivotal than last? I think so. It’s scary how much experience is gone in a year.

I’m happy for him and NU. He has his redshirt so he can go and play. So, does this mean Cope is staying?

Votes are cast with your username and close at 5:00 CST on Selection Sunday.

You gonna kick them out or did they stop arguing? Keep us posted.

The good news is...most teams that are down in the first half come back and win as of the past few days.

Another at large gone?

Okeke related to Duby?

If NU makes it, Joe will never hear the end of it. If NU doesn’t make it, Joe will never hear the end of it.

Just catching up from work. Are you guys saying, of all the tournaments remaining, just need three more bubble teams to lose and you think NU is in? I’m not criticizing but just clarifying.

What kind of website it this? I have zero reason to believe it. But I have zero reason to disbelieve it, either. Says we have a 72% chance to make it... https://www.teamrankings.com/ncaa-basketball/team/nebraska-cornhuskers/bracketology

Is there any chance?

You don't sit in 207 do you? Asking for a friend.

Penn State winning and it kind of feels the committee might take the winner (I realize there is no magic number per conference. Just think both would be right on the cutoff). Plus the finalized seed. Michigan keeps a higher quality win by a smidge. I kinda want Penn State...just my opinion.

Someone on Twitter (just did a “Roby top ten” search) said it was number five?

It's really going to give me a heart attack if we win out, lose the first conference tournament game and have to sit and wait for selection show. Over 20 wins and 10 or less losses with this schedule should be a done deal.

I think we fare better with Penn State winning so it gives us a better game for No Sit Sunday. Right @hhctony ?

I agree. I really wish we had one more of the conference tier one games at home. MSU Purdue even OSU would be a nice win.

How badly do we need a tier one win in the conference tourney? That’s concerning a bit since we have no options left in regular season.

Kansas has the biggest wow factor for the committee. Penn State would have given NU an easier track to 11 or 12 wins. But NU can still do that. Win all or most home games and take care of the bottom half of the conference on the road and penn state will not hurt later on. But it hurts the mojo today.

I will say this. The two standing & clapping dudes in 207 were louder than the entire student section a few different times on defense Tuesday. The students were dead silent during those three possessions. That was bad.
