Unless we win the Big Ten tournament, I don't see what benefit locking up the 4 seed ahead of the game really does for us. Beat PSU (which is a MUST for any at-large hopes) and we lock up the 4 seed anyway. If we're worried about our at-large hopes, we need Michigan to stay a Quadrant 1 win.

I can't think of any benefit in rooting for Penn State.

It's basketball, sometimes you just lose. I just want to be in the Tourney and I'll take any advantage in getting a win.

I'm in the same boat as you. I actually hope Penn State loses the next 3 so when they come to the Vault, they're a downtrodden team with little left to play for. I'd much rather play that Penn State than one who has racked up a couple Q1 wins and needs to beat us to grab a spot in the Tourney.

Band of Brothers, Jordy. Watch it some time.

Alright, you've got me stumped again. Who is the kid from North Dakota?

What or who is in Wyoming?

Any word on when Jordy plans to make a decision?

Any word on how good Anton has been? What should we be expecting from him next year?

Others more knowledgeable and prominent in coaching and recruiting have explained Sam best to me as follows: He can write well but his ability to evaluate (especially players and recruits) has always been subpar.

He won't help us at all this year. http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/10/09/nebraska-loses-freshman-forward-to-season-ending-knee-injury/ You got the wrong guy. That article is about the walk-on B.J. Day.

I don't think he came to Nebraska for the purposes of walking on. My understanding was that he came to Nebraska for school purposes and after the fact, became a walk-on.

Maybe I'm in the minority but I kind of tire of all the senseless posts that just seek to increase the page count. I know a select few kind of think it's funny and an on-going joke but it just creates so much clutter.

Detroit would win this going away simply because they can put twice as many people in Ford Field than they can for Century Link or Target Center. And you KNOW Michigan and MSU fans would pack Ford Field for their games. Since I am new to following this conference...do they ever seriously try to play basketball in the (god awful for basketball) football stadiums? I think it's very unlikely a conference tournament would ever be held in a football stadium.

I thought it was to be released at the end of this month. I think there was just a game left they were trying to get set. I'm sure PBA has been informed of NU's schedule (minus the open date).

I've heard good things about Logan Strom. He's going to be a sophomore at Norfolk High this upcoming year. I think he's 6'8" now but I've heard he's expected to grow several more inches.

Also does anyone realize how many Creighton fans will be standing and yelling during this game as well? No Scalp Sunday makes a heck of a lot more sense if you're going to organize something. Minimize the blue. I have a feeling Creighton fans will be staying away from this game. They all know what's going to happen and don't want to be there.

5. Find out visitors to Lincoln. Ask them to visit Omaha afterwards.

All this exposure helps on the recruiting front. That's SEVEN months that Miles can go into a recruit's house, point to a preseason poll and say, "See. We've arrived. You're coming to a big-time school." It's tangible evidence. Not to mention, it helps immediately in trying to get any 5th-year transfers who want to play for a winner next year.

Newspaper near Ohio State campus seems to think they'll get Pittsburgh, since both teams finished 5th in their respective conferences. They're not so rigid in how they schedule the opponents. They'll try to predict how teams will be next year and also look for good matchups. If they scheduled solely on the past year's finish, Miami wouldn't have been playing Nebraska this past year.

It may be safe to say that Nebraska's profile among coaches has never been higher.

Don't give Creighton the satisfaction. Just beat them by 20 plus.

I would wonder which came first NeeBrasketball or Nebrasketball I think it started wtih them using Neebrasketball - and then it got shortened when Danny was not here anymore. I would credit Nick Joos who was the director of basketball operation when Danny was here. Nick use the Neebraska or Neebrasketball for promotional things back then. The annual golf fundraiser was the Neebraska Classic. I wonder if the association with Danny Nee has been why the University hasn't embraced it until lately. Or because the University didn't embrace anything to do with the basketball program for about 15 years.

May be the best game of the day. Two teams who ended the year playing extremely well. I wish I was able to watch it.

I know Iowa's in a tailspin but I'm sure it's because Iowa beat NW by 26 points both times they played this year.
