Talk about a three headed monster. Michigan has three guys with 16+ points, one guy with 8 points, six other guys with a combined 2 points.

Nebraska has gotten to the line 23 times and hit 20 of them compared to 4/6 for Michigan....too bad they are shooting 28% from the floor  :o

Interestingly, their 2nd leading scorer Charles Matthews ('member him?), has 0.

To add to this weirdness....despite Nebraska getting to the line nearly 4x the amount that Michigan has....they have 2 starters with 4 fouls each....and Michigan doesn't have anyone with more than 3  ?-(

I’m scratching Nebraska off my bubble list. If they get in it will mean I have  no idea what the Selection Committee values.

In addition to Mathews not scoring until the final minutes, their two freshmen who have been solid contributors (Poole and Livers) have been invisible in the tournament.

Interesting game indeed.  Total dominance by Michigan.  Regarding FT disparity:  Imagine if we could have gotten to the line 23 times against DePaul and hit 20 - we'd have been able to win going away despite our paltry 40% shooting from the field.

As far as Nebraska goes, one way or another, it's going to be historical...no B10 team has ever missed the tourney with a 13-5 conference record. On the other hand, no team has ever made the tourney with a resume as poor as theirs either.

Need Georgia to win a few more games.  Their RPI has fallen below 75 which gives us a second Group 3 loss along with DePaul.

Those two losses are killing us.

Your a funny dude TAMU.  Seems you made it an issue to comment on the free throw stats in the Nebraska/Michigan game.  Didn't see me post anything about it, until you chose to make it an issue.  See how that works?   

I look forward to tomorrows game to see what Wojo chooses to do.  Should be quite interesting to see how things play out.  Think Wojo goes M2M with Rowsey/Howard playing big minutes together?

I feel like if you turn any of our Ls into Ws we'd be in.

If we are left out of the tournament, I will not join the chorus of whiners (either here or elsewhere) who say we "deserved" it over this team or that team.

Beat DePaul. Beat Georgia. Beat Providence. Win 2 of those 3 and we're already in. Heck, beat DePaul and we might be in.

Wojo and our ladz controlled their own destiny.

They're further from the bubble than Nebraska was. I still think they'd need to win tomorrow to get in. Go Purdue

With URI out now A10 is definitely getting another team in. Hopefully St Bonies so they don’t have a chance at 3 bids.

That was regular season. Tourney hasn't started.

Hence they're still alive. A loss today would have closed the book.

Good Lord, I’m an idiot. Thank you. Dealing with two year old and 40 week pregnant wife while watching b10 tourney and it threw me off. Thank you for slapping me in the face - I needed it.

It was a good game on CBSSN.

See, guru, we do agree on things sometimes.

The difference is that I don't go into days-long funks about it.

It's basketball, entertainment, escapism, fun. Life is good, baby!

Dear God man, I was commenting on a random stat in a B1G tournament game, namely Nebraska's terrible shooting from the floor. And you turned it to your new John Dawson

3rd team out in bracketmatrix, finally back on Lunardi list
« Reply #774 on: March 02, 2018, 11:23:50 PM »
http://www.bracketmatrix.com/

traveling all day so sorry if someone else posted. The new Bracket Matrix includes more brackets and improves us to third team out, and Lunardi finally has us back at least in the next four out (7th team out). Progress - now we get back to actually needing to beat Creighton. I am here in MKE.
