The thing with these Nebraska teams that's so crazy is how bad they are offensively.
I don't knownhow you fire Miles but keep Hoiberg. They are baaaaad.

Wisconsin shouldn't be in the field at this point.

If Indiana loses at MINNESOTA of all places, they should be out as well. Maybe a 10 seed. Gophers up one with 5:00 to go...
IMO, Michigan shouldn't be in either.

the only teams that should be sniffing the tourney right now from the Big Ten are Purdue, Illinois, Michigan State, Rutgers, Northwestern, and yes, Iowa. Although I think they should be more close to the last four in than a 7 seed like some idiots. Indiana MAYBE? Depends on this outcome.

But Lunardi has ELEVEN teams in. Just laughable.

MInny shoots 35% from the field, 20% from three, and less than 60% from the line and nearly beats Indiana. The Big 10 is just absolutely atrocious.

Seemed like at the end there the announcer said that Minny was missing some guys?

I think only Purdue and Rutgers deserve to make it from that terrible conference.

That league is just going to beat up on themselves...they have to right? I don't see 11 teams ultimately making the tourney. Even seven at this point seems like a stretch but probably likely.

One of the Big 12's "middle teams" like TCU would thump everyone but Purdue.

If they get 11 teams in, they’ll go 4-11.

It'll sort itself within the next 6 weeks, most likely. At this point it's 4 or 5 teams safely in the field, the other 6 or 7 are cycling back & forth near the bubble. If by chance it is a 10-bid league, about half will be First Four/double-digit seed.

"final 4 contender"

:eggplant:

That definitely jumps off the page, doesn't it?

Some fans prefer their team to be "invisible" instead of overhyped/ranked too high (out of superstition, probably.) I welcome the hype. I'm not on the team, so if it goes to my head it won't have any influence whatsoever.

That said, if I try to imagine myself a neutral observer, I probably wouldn't project ISU as a 3rd weekend team ... at least not yet.
