Not even sure why they still call this NIL.  It is a Pay for Play model and has nothing to with Name, Image and Likeness anymore.  Recruiting is all about how much can we pay you to get you to come to our school.  

FWIW if we tie just Northwestern we are over them due to us having a better record vs Purdue.

Great post Norm.    I would say though - and not to take anything away from Sam - but that culture change also doesn't happen without Emmanuel Bandoumel and Juwan Gary coming in with the play hard team first attitudes they exhibited.   Also FWIW probably not without a leader like Derrick Walker coming back for another year when he easiliy could have left.
 

Don’t know what’s less believable, us getting the 2 seed, or Illinois falling to the 7 seed.

Season Record: 76.7% - 2011-12 
Current Season: 76.0%
 
Conference Record: 78.2%  - 1993-94
Current Season: 78.7%

Have to get a big in the portal.   He'll still be a project. 

In the last 10 seasons (including years at Butler), Holtman has won 20 or more games and made the NCAA tournament every year except last year.  Sad world we live in when this isn't good enough anymore.  Stupid move by Ohio State and even more stupid to do it Mid-February.

If they could have just gotten that win at Illinois, our resume would be very solid with 4 wins against teams in the top 20 (and one of them being a road win). 

True but glad he isn't wearing red.  Just not a fan of his game.  

Generally guys that put up those stats don't play 4 years in college, let alone 5. Product of the COVID era. 

I can handle losing but can't handle when the team doesn't give effort.  That is just unacceptable!!!   

And what makes it even worse is the ref that called the foul was behind CJ so had no angle to see any contact.  The ref that had the correct angle to make the call didn't blow his whistle.  Based on how physical they were letting them play all game, there is no way you can make that call.

Eli sprained an ankle this week in practice.  

Still have us projected as a 10 seed at the moment.  As much as our road plays sucks, we still have a pretty solid resume some some impressive wins.

Actually Nebraska might be the only team to potentially make the claim.  Northwestern also beat Purdue but lost to Wisconsin and doesn't play them again.  So good chance that Nebraska would be the only team to be able to accomplish this.  First things first is we have to beat Wisconsin.
