Only 20 wins going into Selection Sunday we'd be discussing who we're getting to come to PBA in the NIT. I think 21 is 50/50 depending on who we beat. Think there's also a very good chance we'd be sent to Dayton with 21. 22 is in but could still get sent to Dayton. Not as likely though. Pry a low 10, high 11 seed.

They absolutely could end up in Omaha. I thought it’d be impossible too, but you have to think they are already trying to avoid rematches until the Sweet 16. And there’s just too many first round locations to worry about that imo. Look at Salt Lake City. Either Utah, Utah State, and/or BYU could end up playing there too. Actually a good chance one of them does end up there.

It’s senior day so idk strange things can happen. Plus they’ll have that PG they were missing. They should beat all 3 of them on paper, yes. Im just saying they need to win at least one.

They’re not going to let a team in that didn’t win one conference road game. That is a guarantee. I think they will too I’m just saying they still have to do it.

The worst week is conference tourney/bid stealer week. That’s when the worrying really hits a peak.

They need to win at least one conference road game.

Think this is what you're referring to. Pretty crazy. Iowa State and TCU are the two teams in the Big 12 with Non Con SOS's worse than us. Alot of others are pretty bad, though. https://x.com/T_Oglesby22/status/1752743412921409816?s=20

It helps to be consensus top 50 recruit. Milan is a baller.

I could see the committee saying that their non-con SOS was the difference too, with their assumption being that we'd probably have an extra L or two if our non-con SOS was 68 instead of 317. Very good comparison for a blind resume, though.

Does that mean they'd most likely try and not put us in Omaha as like an 8-9 seed? I do remember last year that Auburn was a 9 seed but played in Birmingham, which was a 2 hour drive from their campus.

That was my first thought as well. Playing on a strained calf has to be extremely painful in basketball. Gotta get the leg right first.

It's trending that way

T-Rank is good for looking at similar resumes and seeing where those teams of the past ended up in the field or not, but I don't like using them for projected field. There's a reason they're close to last in accuracy rankings on bracketmatrix.

What a sh*t show

For football, I think big boosters are willing to try and buy back a good program with a ton of cash in order to make them relevant again, not only for the returns it would create when it happens, but for the nostalgia factor as well. For basketball, I think our big boosters are a lot more wait-and-see or rather just apathetic atm. Not as willing to try and "buy" a good basketball program on top of football too. Getting Nebraska football back will take a lot of cash, and we already missed on QB1 year 1. The Creighton situation is simply different. It's basketball only with resources focused solely on that and a program on firm ground. Boosters are willing to foot the bill for a program when they know it's practically certain the product coming in each year will yield results/returns.

Michigan State can't shoot. Idc if they're coming off an L. Find ways to get Keisei the ball on offense, including him just bringing the ball up instead of JLaw sometimes. And play defense/crash the boards with intensity. This isn't Cal State Fullerton anymore it ain't falling into your lap. I'd hope that these last two games are enough of a wake up call to realize that. Go effin get it and put a body on someone on the way. Doing that alone at least gives you a chance to win.

I get the vibe Penn State views and spends money on basketball like we do. Can spend a little if they want, but all of it is primarily for football. If throw throw a couple good years together to get some fans excited great, but that means there's also a chance the coach leaves for a higher pedigree program at that point too.

Would Craig not take this job cuz of Miles? Edit: No offense to Craig, but if you're Minny and have the pick between the two it's pretty easy.

Niko is priority #1 for Minnesota. You just have to hope they produce enough of a season that doesn't warrant firing. Even so, Niko will be a hot commodity regardless.

Otz was there for the four years McDermott was there, and they really didn't do anything of substance. Fred took advantage of the transfer portal at ISU when no one else was. Then everyone caught up while he was at the Bulls. By the time he came back to us, the entire landscape had changed. And thus, the demise.

Definitely needed to make more of an effort to slow it down. Seemed like we wanted to run, run, run, and that's what they wanted.

All of Mast's 3 PT looks looked looked great off the release. I know you have to make them, but they were great looks. A couple more of those go in with what the score was at the time and the game's changed. Allick, on the other hand, needs to forget the 3 ball. Take a couple dribbles in and spray or give it up and set a screen for somebody and crash the board. You can't have his 3 PT shot basically become a turnover against good teams.

Once Minnesota has their coming to Jesus moment and pulls the trigger to hire Niko Medved, that will be very bad.

Definitely down with that. I'm talking like Duke big. Unsure if he'll get that offer but that's what he wants.

Not losing to James Madison bad tho.
