Outside of winning the conference tournament and getting an auto-bid, the Huskers are going to have to win 5 of their last 6 regular season games and at least 2 Big 10 Tourney games to get a sniff at at the big dance.
That means they'll have to upset either Ohio St (PBA) or Indiana on the road.
They'll also need Ohio St and Mich St to hit a slump in order the take an overall #7 spot in the final Big 10 standings. Even then Sparty would likely get the nod with a better overall record. They are already at 20 wins. I doubt the Big 10 sends more than 7 teams. The current top 5 are as good as in.
