I know what you're saying, but I would just love to get revenge against Maryland.
But yes, we'd love to play someone else earlier to get a possible seed. Probably slim to none.
Let's just see what unfolds..
I could envision a Nebraska-Rutgers first round game. Second most likely is Michigan. But that may count on us winning the series against Purdue. Lose the series, and we could easily drop to the 6-seed (which right now would be a game against Iowa in the first round). I'm counting on a 4 or 5-seed for Nebraska (and series win over Purdue).
