NCAA Tournament

So basically, I take this as Nebraska getting the lowest 2-seed.

NU probably is (one of) the weakest 2, but usually geography is big consideration in placement also. I think it is probably a combination of the two.

Tough to project games played against an Ivy League school. They certainly cannot have the athletes Nebraska does -- but they are likely well-coached to be in this position.

Yale's lone two games against top 100 RPI this season were against Clemson. They lost both, but weren't destroyed. 6-10 and 8-10 finals.

Yale did win 9 of their last 10 -- but everyone of those was against a team with an RPI right around 200.

Who knows if Yale will be a quality opponent -- as they simply haven't played enough quality competition to do a reasonable comparison. I'd have to think Nebraska is fully capable and better-prepared for big games -- if NU is mentally tough enough.

Agree, usually not the athletes, but very fundamentally sound.

Latest projections last night had Maryland as one of the first 4 out. With Maryland getting in, B1G ends up with 5 bids

Will be interesting to see if any of the Big Ten teams advance to the Supers. The odds are against it, but maybe 1 or 2 teams can pull an upset.

Agree; every year there are some unexpected upsets and Cinderellas, but I wouldn't bet on any from the B1G. Maryland and Indiana seem to have the best paths.
