Remember that time when Nebraska used to own Izzo on the court? That doesn't seem to be the case anymore. But hey, glad to see our seniors could leave PBA on a positive note. They've won a lot of games at home there.

No other team with 22+ wins in the Big Ten had been left out of the tournament either...so I don't have a clue what the committee will do if we get 3+ more wins.

Sounds easier than a 1st grade spelling bee, right? That'll just double our Quad 1 output in 2 games that took us 14 games this season to accomplish.

For those holding on to hope. Mind you, it would probably take a run to the BTT final and some bubble teams to drop out early to even have a shot. For those who see this season as already over, here's some ammo to help back that up. (Note: Nebraska's Sunday stats aren't updated yet, I only updated the record and Q2 fields.)

Scarlet Days - 68 Scarlet Knights - 72 0

Long term? Debatable. Hyped after a quality win? For sure.

TWO THINGS THIS HHCC ROUND: 1) Score prediction for Nebraska neut. Rutgers (as usual). 2) (BONUS -5 points) Predicting the exact number of Big Ten tournament wins by Nebraska (e.g. I am looking for an answer like "5").

Whether the buyout is included in that figure or not, he's sure has seemed to find himself a pretty nice paycheck. @HoiBall, as incapable as our department seems to be at times, I'm just struggling to see them spending much more than we're already paying Miles. But who knows, Moos has been known to go on big spending sprees at WSU. But if his standard is for the team to be competitive in the conference, I also think he'll be willing to pay a competitive salary in the conference. I'd like to see that competitive value be on the head coach + assistant level and not just focus on throwing all of our cash to the coach. We're going to need a lot more help than one person to get us to the next level of competition.

Fran didn't quite get the Senior Day he wanted, so he invited us over for a do-over for him.

It depends if Moos found another half off hotel voucher in Philadelphia or not...

Not a good start. I don't mind the decision though. Might have been a different decision had it stayed 1-0.

Point being #1 should have held. But 0-0, you could argue you're going for aggressive base running. #3, I think it was possible. The right fielder was throwing some accurate bullets, but you just never know how for in that center field throw would have turned out (could have at least forced a throw).

Three baserunning blunders that could cost us. 1. Rounding the bag to 3rd base and getting tagged out. 2. Missed chance at loaded bases off a bunt when Baylor went for the force out at third. 3. Tripping around 2nd base off a hit when we could've scored a run, but got held up at 3rd instead. That said, just keep the Baylor bats cold and we're good to go.

Solid chance at a 'W' if we can get out of this B6 inning. We've missed on a couple of opportunities in this game, but we've also limited Baylor's offense.

Just like this game thread, tomorrow starts today.

If I recall, it's only really a benefit for home ticket sales and travel is covered. I think you get 15% of the net ticket sales at the gate for home games through 3 rounds. I think for travel you can only fly 25 people, versus around 75 for NCAA (think admin, band members, etc.).

OWH standing at Creighton's doorstep like:

They did. But I think the other side of the argument I've heard is that they haven't selected anyone under 0.500 since that requirement changed. Haven't verified that myself, but I guess it just depends how "deep" the middle/bottom conference dwellers are in a given year.

I'm just glad we were able to hold on to a big lead this time around. Fridays might be fun this season!
