Can’t speak to the past but for this year, other teams with 3-6 Q1 records Nova: 1-3 in Q3 Utah: Q3 loss Va Tech: Q3 loss TCU: Two more Q3 + Q4 games than us Oklahoma: One more Q3 + Q4 game than us Miss St: Q3 and Q4 loss

It’s definitely not “good” by any means. Like you said… it just isn’t “bad”. It also helps when those Q1 wins are Purdue, Wisco, etc and not some slack road game in the Big West or something like that.

I’m not thinking that Q1 record is a knock against us personally. The more important thing for us is the number in the Q1 W column, not the Q1 L column. Oklahoma, Alabama, Miss St, TCU, Alabama, Villanova, Utah all have the same Q1 record.

Her and Clark are perfect for each other.

lol! What happened BEFORE the game?

Big L for the Cats. His last moment of the season was mocking someone the Big 10 loves too.

Could we win at UC Irvine and is it too late to schedule a road game?

When’s the last time a major media network tweeted something Huskers NOT on a game day?

OSU playing chess and not checkers.

True! No flash in the pan happening here!

Should MSU lose tonight on the road, you might start to really see some people giving them the side eye as an NCAA “should be in” team. They would be real bubbly.

I knew they were hurting, but I didn’t know they had fallen to Q4 road game hurting!

Yikes Bucks probably knew this was coming. Interesting time to do it though. Came back and showed fight last night against Wisco and they had just beaten Maryland.

This game is really kind of a “playing with house money” situation. Especially with the Iowa win. We got our big win and they shouldn’t feel much pressure. We’re now solidly inside the bubble. Hopefully that means they come out and just play loose. No pressure situations sometimes allow a team to just out and play, not think about things, and just have some fun. I think that’s why you see a lot of upsets in early March conference games and early rounds of conference tournaments. Most of the time, teams playing on Day 1 and Day 2 have no pressure.

Im thinking that too. Its about 10 days old.

Good chance for Oregon St to pick up a win. The Big East bubble is huge so pick your poison in Seton Hal vs Xavier. A Xavier win would give them a huge road win, but they are further away from bubble. A Seton Hall win basically keeps them in serious bubble contention.

They do look at Quad 1A type wins a little differently when looking at the quad as a whole. From what I gathered, that’s going to be a Top 15 home and Top 36 away win. We used to have two of those until Wisco crapped the bed.

It’s not just that Redway flopped either. Its how quickly if flopped that will scare off future thoughts of flights into Lincoln. However, that drive from Omaha airport (30ish-45 minutes) is probably your a comparable commute from the airport to the hotel in some of the big cities that host.

Big night for Huskers! We moved… *checks notes*… down in the NET. Result based and predictive metrics remained relatively the same.

Good judge will be how far Ind State drops tomorrow. A Q4 home loss by more than 10. Only dropped them 9 spots in Pom.

If Ind St wins out and loses conference championship game to Drake… mayyyybe two. But man. A Q4 home loss in Feb hurts bad. They have absolutely 0 room for error now and probably need help from others on the bubble. They only fell 9 spots in Pom to 47. Not a huge drop. We’ll see what happens with result based metrics.

Watched that Vandy game live. Didn’t see the shot get blocked initially so thought he traveled. Virginia losing does move Cuse closer to bubble but also probably eliminated Wakes chance at a Q1 win now too. Indiana States loss is huge. We most likely jump them in the NET or at least get very close. One way for us to stay ahead of being on the bubble (outside of winning) is other bubble teams losing bad games and not picking up quality wins. That’s happened for the most part tonight.

Texas A&M with a bad loss to Vandy!

Indiana State lost to a bad Illinois St team At home. A Q4 loss! Hopefully the Mo Valley ends up a 1 bid league.

Lot of bubble games coming down to the wire here. Pitts playing their way into the bubble conversation too!
