Maryland @ Nebraska in PBA - 2/25, 6 PM CST (BTN)

Interesting thought. My concern would be the committee would consider our ‘leader’ and key contributor to be injured, and take that into consideration to move us to a lower seed.
Maybe, but I think at 27 or 28 total wins, we're locked at a 4 at worst.
 
So what are we seeing with Nebraska? I am seeing a team that is 23-4 right now. Three of their losses are to top 15 teams and the fourth loss is to a 20 win Iowa team on the road. All four losses are to quad 1 teams. There is not a bad loss on their schedule.

I don't know what your standard is for a good team, but IMO Nebraska qualified as a good team.

we are seeing a team that was playing top notch basketball for 24 games, then after the Michigan game things changed. Pretty sure most everyone can see that, whatever the reason is..

NU was playing top level basketball, but they are not at that level right now.. Is it still good enough to get those coveted tournament wins? I think so, but it isn't a forgone conclusion.. unless they can get things turned around. if they do that, then I could see them making the sweet 16, or better.

They should be able to win the USC game, UCLA will be tougher and I am not saying they HAVE to win it.
 
I think they “need” to win 2 of the next 3, but really they are okay if they only win one of the three. I think the chances of going 3-0 and 1-2are about the same, with 2-1 most likely. 0-3 is certainly possible, but less likely than the other three possibilities. 3-0 would, I think, lock in a 3 seed, and make a 2 seed possible if they make the conference final. So the season is wide open for between a 2 and 5 seed. Enjoy this unprecedented ride.

Yeah, need was just me saying I want those 2 wins.. they don't need to win both.
 
We are playing like the team that we are. A top 15 team with a likelyhood of the sweet 16 and an outside chance that we can steal a game or two after that.
There was a time when it looked like we might be legit top 5. We arent. And we arent playing as well as we did ealier in the year. Part of that is that good coaches in the big ten have found ways to slow down what was working earlier in the year. Fred has mentioned hes trying to tweek things to get it rolling a little better. If he does, this team has a shot at the final four. A great shot? No but a definate shot. If he doesnt, we will likely end at the sweet 16. Thats where we are at.

Im excited to see if we make a few tweeks and get it done. In the meantime, the same serial whiners will whine. Thats how it goes

Man, you must not have seen the Kansas State, Oklahoma, Winthrop, New Hampshire, North Dakota games… we’ve been winning uglyIsh all year.

If you look back at the game threads, you will find him complaining. " we wont win Big Ten games if we dont play better!. We wont win if we shoot this bad all the time!". Du. Lol, its just how some people choose to live life.

I think you are misreading me. You tend to be more critical about things. Youre a glass half full guy. Some guys are wired like that. Hell, youre not wrong when you say we wont win Big Ten games if we shoot poorly. You want nothing but the best for our Huskers. Id go as far to say youre one of the most knowledgeble basketball fans on hmax. You just have a negative lean. No biggie, imo

Ok, I apologize, I 100% misread your post.
 
Went back and reread what UB said, and my initial take was not that off. That post was not the explanation given in the second post. Totally different tone.
 
There are a couple of you that seemed to want to tell others how they should post and how they should react during the game. You know, the ones whining about whiners.

Well, sorry to tell you, but I’m gonna respond to what I see.. you don’t like it, don’t show up to the game thread.
