WE DID IT! MILES' FIRST SEASON WITHOUT A FIVE GAME LOSING STREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So given Lunardi's comments, I'm assuming we'll just have to get comfortable being the #1 seed in the NIT until we win the Big Ten tournament. And even then, I don't know if Lunardi puts us in the tournament.

At least it's not Delaware State...

Submit predictions below.

Wednesday's Games of Interest: South Florida/UCF - need UCF to keep winning Iowa/Michigan - going with the flawed RPI/Tier approach Villanova/Providence - not sure how Providence is still a thing Clemson/Florida State - knock off FSU Virginia Tech/Duke - VaTech's getting comfortable Mississippi State/Vanderbilt - down with MSU Kansas State/Oklahoma State - going with OSU on this one Illinois/Indiana - we play Illinois twice Seton Hall/Xavier - known down Seton Hall Kentucky/Auburn - likely doesn't matter, but a Kentucky 4-game losing streak sounds like NC State/Syracuse - NC State has the better wins; knock out Syracuse Georgia/Florida - Florida just in case Memphis/SMU - going with Memphis St. John's/DePaul - both teams took care of business for us; need St. John's Air Force/UNLV - hush the UNLV conversation Nevada/Boise State - knock Boise State out Wyoming/San Diego State - becoming less of an issue, but go SDSU Thursday's Games of Interest: Cincinnati/Houston - knock out Houston Purdue/Wisconsin - played Wisconsin twice; also Purdue #2/3 seed Temple/Wichita State - need WSU to hush the Temple conversation Marist/Fairfield - Marist needs to win something New Hampshire/Vermont - knock down Vermont Lipscomb/Stetson - win/win Eastern Illinois/Southeast Missouri State - another win/win Ohio State/Penn State - PSU is on track to build a better resume than us Southern Utah/North Dakota - yet another win/win Middle Tennessee/Southern Miss - Middle Tennessee is receiving votes UT San Antonio/Old Dominion - and yet another win/win Texas State/Louisiana - knock down Louisiana Arizona/Arizona State - going with Arizona; ASU is hot and cold Utah/Washington - knock down Washington Oregon/USC - real tough one; going with Oregon New Mexico State/Utah Valley - someone's gotta beat NMSU Western Kentucky/North Texas - this would be a big win for us UC Santa Barbara/Long Beach State - and again, yet another win/win Colorado/Washington State - knock down CU Oregon State/UCLA - could use some more help from OSU

I can see it now... "Nebraska, why didn't you make the tournament as a 23-8 team" "Well...the computers didn't say we we're good enough."

This is what's more furiating. Are. You. Kidding. Me. We just beat a team that Lunardi had in the tournament for 14 weeks and now he's saying "well, that's not good enough." Well what more do you want?????

Well... 18. Delaware State and Stetson wasn't touched by Vegas.

WE DID IT!!!!!!

Feeling nervous about this one...

This doesn't feel like a 3 point lead.

Real physical game down low right now. Can't be getting beat.

I'm less upset about Nebraska's odd and more flabbergasted that a win puts Maryland that far into the field. Just wow.

And they're right behind us on the bubble and in votes received.

I'd rather go one and done than win the NIT.

That's fair. I suppose 1-6 and 1-7 makes little difference either. So I'm on board with that.

"Your shoe order is scheduled to arrive in 30 days."

They think our conference schedule is easy? Take a look at Michigan State's!

Without any Tier 1 wins, is this necessarily a good thing?

There is no conference record listed anywhere on the selection committee's team sheets. It doesn't mean it's not discussed, but it's worthy to note it's not something highlighted.

Depending on where the committee's head is at, your first two scenarios may require 1 win in the Big Ten tournament. Wouldn't hurt to just win one and not sweat it out come Selection Sunday.

Both teams have three more ranked teams to play. This is one of those situations where a win by Baylor tonight and a fallout by both teams at the end will knock both of them out. Easily one of those scenarios where it would've been much more clear who to root for in hindsight.

Tuesday's Games of Interest: Georgetown/Butler - knock down Butler Boston College/Pittsburgh - win for us Nebraska/Maryland - no brainer Texas A&M/Missouri - tough, but going with Texas A&M on this one Arkansas/Ole Miss - knock off Arkansas St. Bonaventure/La Salle - somebody take care of the Bonnies Kent State/Buffalo - no more Buffalo Richmond/Rhode Island - just knock off URI Virginia/Miami - might as well go against Miami South Carolina/Tennessee - take care of USC LSU/Alabama - tough one, but take knock off LSU Wednesday's Games of Interest: South Florida/UCF - need UCF to keep winning Iowa/Michigan - going with the flawed RPI/Tier approach Villanova/Providence - not sure how Providence is still a thing Clemson/Florida State - knock off FSU Virginia Tech/Duke - VaTech's getting comfortable Mississippi State/Vanderbilt - down with MSU Kansas State/Oklahoma State - going with OSU on this one Illinois/Indiana - we play Illinois twice Seton Hall/Xavier - known down Seton Hall Kentucky/Auburn - likely doesn't matter, but a Kentucky 4-game losing streak sounds like NC State/Syracuse - NC State has the better wins; knock out Syracuse Georgia/Florida - Florida just in case Memphis/SMU - going with Memphis St. John's/DePaul - both teams took care of business for us; need St. John's Air Force/UNLV - hush the UNLV conversation Nevada/Boise State - knock Boise State out Wyoming/San Diego State - becoming less of an issue, but go SDSU
