Most years, the Big Ten tournament's title game finishes within an hour of the NCAA tournament selection show. This year, seven days separate the two. Seven days for Husker fans to worry until the hives show up, perhaps. Also seven days for Moos to be on the phone with people who matter, perhaps.
So, no complaining from his mouth.
"Because it gives me, and others that may be on the bubble, an extra week to work the committee," Moos said Tuesday during a radio appearance on the Husker Sports Network. "And many times they're not answering the phone in another week. But they may be answering it now. And so I'm working on that on a daily basis, and feeling pretty good about things."
