Guess he missed a fun game. At least he got to watch Iowa lose at home to Illinois and fall to the bubble.

Looking at your handle of "Bugeater in Iowa," and it reminds me that I'm drinking a beer from Backpocket Brewery, which is based out of Iowa City. Feels right, for some reason.

This. RPI means nothing when it comes to the AP ballot.

The place was rocking, for sure! Very VERY nit-picky observations: 1) there were times the crowd the just stood there when Wisconsin was making a run (you can't yell the whole time, right?), 2) the student section isn't quite "intimidating" (visually) on TV. At least not yet. It would be really cool if we got the student section to coordinate a lot more things throughout the game. I mean, there's so much TV time on that section throughout the game. That will come with time though. Clearly people like Dicky V are paying attention! That said, I wish I could have been at the game. I can't imagine what that was like in person. I know what you mean. I feel like the student section at Ohio State was intimidating late. They were doing this arm-in-arm swaying thing that looked like waves in the ocean. It was pretty cool. We'll get there, though. We're still learning about basketball.

Looked like no one sat when I was paying attention on the boob tube. Well done, fans. Well done.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume the kid was impressed.

For the first time watching the game on TV, I felt like the crowd was absolutely incredible like other venues. No doubt they made a major difference tonight!

I guess I don't really care who wins. Everyone coach in the Big Ten knows exactly who the most deserving candidate it. Sometimes it just goes to whomever won the league. Beilein had a great year, but there's no way, even without McGary, they overachieved as much as Nebraska did.

Yup, HR says it's just a matter of checking our references.

Let's be honest, if Wichita State wasn't undefeated Miles might have a shot for national coach of the year!

Hey, those look like dancing shoes!

Stone cold lock. Like our NCAA Tournament chances!

Should we close the thread since it doesn't matter anymore?

No doubt the best Husker fans on the planet post here. You guys were optimistic even when things didn't look great. Take a deep breath and soak it in. We're dancing, and in no small part to you guys. Take a bow!

OH MY GOD WE'RE DANCING!

Lacing up my dancing shoes...

I don't question anything you say Yeah, that guy's good.

OK, let's just take care of the ball and find a way to catch the ball on the inbounds in the middle of the court!

Wow. Let's have a little composure.

Oh my God!

Just take care of the ball and grab some rebounds.

Why on earth would we do that?

Phew.

That was out of bounds. Nice to get a free 3 points.

Lucky bastards.
