NCAA Tournament





I was actually hoping NU might fall to a 3 seed and get a better draw. I don't know anything about Yale, but I have to believe NU should be favored in that match up. So, the good news is they should have a good path to the regional championship. However, it will take a miracle to get past OSU.

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

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.
