Man, what a gut punch. Feel terrible for the guys.
Derrick, Sam and Emmanuel, thank you! This has been an incredible ride. Let’s go for a little while longer!
Keisei, please don’t let this be goodbye.

12 seed is still in play if they go less than 2-0 and the other two both go 2-0. That feels unlikely, but it's out there.
-
this is covered more thoroughly in the Big Ten Tournament thread, but the scenario described above no longer appears on the generator.
-
Nu currently sits in the 10 seed spot after both Wisconsin and penn st lost.
interestingly, playing around with bracket scenarios, I noticed for scenarios where the canceled MSU/MINN game was not made up, nu lost the tiebreaker. In scenarios where it was, and MSU won, nu won the tiebreaker. Not sure if these is how that would play out in reality but something to keep an eye on.

How do we get the twin brother on the team too?
That way, when Sam fouls out, they can just switch jerseys and go back in the game.

How crazy is it that the son of a former NBA player is good a basketball?!?

Listen to Creighton on the radio. lol. Why would I do that to myself, my loved ones or anyone parked next to me at a red light?

I could see Michigan joining the race as well. They are 8-7 and their last 5 are vs MSU, @ Rutgers, vs Wisc, @ Illini, and @ Indiana. Of course the head to head over us makes it a bit tougher to pass them
Possible. PSU and Wisconsin are the immediate focus. Let's see how the next week goes and regroup after the Minnesota game. I'm hoping tomorrow is not the classic Nebrasketball clunker we've all come to know and love.

Kinda need Rutgers to get their poop together

Man I thought a ton of different scenarios in there and very few allowed us to be anything other than the 10 seed. It was very hard for us to NOT be the 10 seed and very hard for us to be anything but the 10 seed.
...assuming they win at least two games...
-
There is also at least one scenario where NU wins 3 more and still ends up as the 12 seed.

According to the bracket generator at http://bball.notnothing.net/big10.php?sport=mbb :
A Maryland win puts us in position for a 10 seed facing Michigan State.
A loss puts us at 11 against Minnesota, then Indiana.
Winning out still leaves us at a 10 seed, but against Iowa.
I didn't do all the many configurations to get us to a 3 seed. This was enough thinking for one day.
As I ran it, 2 wins, however they come, put us in good position for the 10 seed. That also assumes the rest of the games go according to the favorites, which they won't, so there are a ton of variables at play.

I got curious about what NU needs to do to get out of the Wednesday games. In short, Pass Penn St. and Wisconsin. Huskers are .5 games behind PSU and 1.5 back of Wisc. NU owns the tiebreaker over the Badgers. PSU owns the tiebreaker vs NU if they end up tied. If all three are tied, NU would be the 10 seed, I believe.
- Penn St. has 5 games left, 3 on the road, but two of them are at Minnesota and Ohio St. The rest of their schedule is vs. Rutgers, at NW and vs. Maryland. Challenging.
- Wisconsin has a tougher slate, though 3 of their 5 remaining are at home: vs. Rutgers, vs. Iowa, at Michigan, vs. Purdue, at Minnesota. Also challenging.
- NU as you all likely know, get three home games in a row vs. Maryland, Minnesota and Michigan St. before finishing at Iowa.
If anyone stumbles vs. Minnesota, it could be the difference in playing Wednesday vs. Thursday.

it's a dream, alright. But for some reason, the big a$$ pinch I just administered didn't change that chart a bit.
3 seed? us?
okay, I definitely need to lay off the crack pipe.
I mean, not only would we have to win out, but Minnesota would too except for the game vs. us, so...
More realistic, win two and we should have a decent shot at 10th. Win 3 we'll be sitting pretty for Thursday.

Who are the culture guys in the locker room next year? Seems like at least one of the guys we add next season needs to check the boxes of older and leader.
Oleg and Keisei

Holy crap! What a win! Didn't see that one coming at all. That may have been the best performance of the season. Don't look now, but with a three game homestead looming, the NIT dream isn't dead yet.

The painful issue for CJ and quite honestly for Keisei as well are their limitations beyond being a shooter. Keisei has now developed his game to be a scorer as well as a shooter. He can drive and cut to the hole and is creative around the hoop allowing him to score against the biggest of the bigs. He has quick hands and good anticipatory skills. He lacks in lateral quickness and strength but does have decent hops and good handles.
CJ has seemed to regress in nearly every category. He is particularly frustrating when dribbling into the crowd and literally any time he puts the ball onto the floor. My son calls him the 2023 Lat.
I guess I still have hope for CJ, but Fred needs to use him very selectively until his game returns. Heck, that could be against Rutgers...who really knows. But he cannot be trusted with extended minutes at this point.
Right now it appears the most trusted rotation may be - DW, Sam G, Keisei, Lawrence, Wilhelm, Dawson, Sam H and Blaise.
Except Lat never had a season like CJ did last year…

At some point the “extended” opportunity needed to be “ok, we are living in the current, not last year”. Kind of like having a FG kicker go 14-16 and win conference kicker if the year and then keep having him kick the next year when he’s 4-10…
Which is why he got removed from the starting lineup and had his minutes reduced…

Fred also had C.J starting most of the year which is a questionable decision at best.
Not really. He was really good last year and earned the opportunity to get an extended opportunity this year.

This is an big offseason for Wilhelm. I think he's got the talent to be a consistent performer at this level. Would love to see him take a big step this offseason. I think some combination of him and Kieta will be a big answer to how they replace Walker.
If CJ sticks around, I think he'll be poised for a big bounce back next season.
