If there's one thing I know, it's that Marist and Delaware State are useless. Oh well...

Enjoy. http://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/life-in-the-red/no-sit-sunday-at-pinnacle-bank-arena/article_50398e5c-a556-11e3-b586-0019bb2963f4.html

Big slate ahead. Updating throughout the night.

WE'RE GOING TO THE DANCE!!!

@royalfan, are you ready for this Marist throwdown?

Their starting lineups are as talented as anybody in the conference.”

You would reeeeaaaaally hate watching soccer live.

Well this is slightly inaccurate... https://www.landof10.com/nebraska/nebraska-cornhuskers-ncaa-tournament-2018-basketball-march-madness "It’s not their fault the league sucks, but if the league didn’t suck, they wouldn’t be winning so many games, too.”

His opinion goes a long ways. Just as Pomeroy's does. Let's just hope the committee can muffle out the noise.

Updated.

For some reason, I think that Boise State's loss won't hit them too hard. Similar to that of Providence. We've got more work to do.

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 Friday's Games of Interest: Rhode Island/St. Bonaventure - need URI more than ever here Bowling Green/Buffalo - no more Buffalo

According to BracketMatrix through most of Wednesday's games, we are now listed in 15 of 105 brackets. Still in the "Next Four Out".

FS1 on the Boise State/Nevada game: "Both of these teams are going to the tournament. I guarantee it."

Yeah that's what I'm thinking too. But they did say quarterfinals. That wasn't typed in error.

"They're winning the games they have to. They're also winning road games. And these things matter." "If they had just beaten Kansas... they're in." "If Nebraska can hold on and win out, I think they'll be in." "Look at the eye test. They look like an NCAA tournament team. They can be dangerous. But do they have the resume? They're 0-6 in the top quadrant." "Getting the double bye is critical, because that almost guarantees a higher caliber team." "(Penn State) A win at Ohio State might be enough to get themselves in."

"You're going to need Penn State and Nebraska to make it to the quarterfinals and then they're going to sweep in 6 teams into the tournament."

Kentucky is on a 4-game losing streak now. Calipari hadn't had a 3-game losing streak with Kentucky his entire career until this season.

The Indiana/Illinois BTN postgame is talking about how the Big Ten has a chance to get 6 teams into the tournament. Stating that there cannot be any surprises in the Big Ten tournament. Meaning that the favored teams win. Seems like a stretch to me.

Updating.

It's been a very contentious love/hate with the Big 12 and SEC these past couple of weeks.

Updating throughout the night.

I'll start updating now.

Andrew White getting some playing time in Detroit right now against the surprisingly not injured Blake Griffin right now.

That's gotta be REALLY expensive to rip out all those seats! Oh well. All for the cause.
