How long into the season will this thread turn into the 15,000 posts for an NIT appearance?

What should we expect against Wake tomorrow JJM?

Well, we're 13 point favorites which just blows my mind to be honest. For some reason everyone is just lovin' up on Nebraska this season. I was watchin' #2 Ohio State play #4 Duke tonight and at halftime one of the analysts said "watch for a team by the name of Nebraska this year to sneak up on some people."

Just blows my mind. I would expect us to win by something between 5-10 points. I wish I could allow myself to bet against Nebraska, cuz I would definitely bet Wake Forest +13............but I could never do that to the Huskers.

Wake Forest is one of the most up-tempo teams in the entire country..........so I expect a lot of points to be scored. If a lot of points aren't scored, then Nebraska did one hell of a job slowing things down.....

Huskers - 81
Wake Forest - 72

In my opinion, after all I've seen so far this season, Ohio State is the best team in the country............and Wisconsin is either #2 or #3 in the country.

We play both of them right away to start off BIG Conference play. We really got a rough BIG schedule in both football and basketball.

In fact, according to Kenpom rankings, our first 5 games in conference play are against:

#3 Wisconsin
#14 Michigan St.
#2 Ohio St.
#38 Illinois
#3 Wisconsin


Talk about rough....

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Sorry, we play #144 Penn State before we play Wisconsin the second time

68 make it now. They have 4 "play-in" games.......but really they aren't play-in games. If you're in a play-in game, you're in the tournament.

Last year Virginia Commonwealth made one of the play-in games and they won that game and ended up going to the Final 4.

But no, we wouldn't necessarily be in if they just started the tournament today. They base it more on RPI rankings anyways, which RPI rankings at this point in the season are nothing..........cuz teams like Drake University for instance will be in the top 10 or somethin since nobody has played conference games yet.

The NCAA tournament is just like how they select teams for Bowls in college football.............the committee gets together and decides which teams they want en sech
