Charlie Creme's Bracketology update for January 17 still lists the Huskers as one of the "Last Four In." Creme still has the Huskers as an 11-seed, playing fellow 11-seed Missouri in one of the First Four games. Creme has the winner of that game flying out to Los Angeles to play #6 seed Gonzaga.
Instead of moving the Huskers to his list of "First Four Out" as I expected him to do, Creme took Virginia out of the tournament.
Creme has 7 Big Ten teams in the tournament: #1 Indiana, #1 Ohio State, #3 Michigan, #3 Iowa, #4 Maryland, #8 Illinois and #11 Nebraska.
With two games against Illinois and Iowa, and a road game at Michigan left on the schedule, IMO the Huskers definitely have an opportunity to solidify an at-large bid before the conference tournament.
Should UConn be a No. 1 seed? The Huskies would be on the top line if not for questions on the availability of Azzi Fudd and Carolina Ducharme.
