Uspshoosier Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 I'm just saying if you go over .500 on the road in conference and undefeated at home you likely deserve a bid. I don't care if the B1G is down. That's not easy as we all should know. We lost at freaking Illinois and Wisconsin. This is where we will differ. The teams that you beat to get to .500 on the road and undefeated at home matter to me when looking at whether a team earned a bid. Unbalanced schedule has hurt Nebraska just as much as it has helped Nebraska gain a great record. Their only home game against another top B1G team was Michigan(they won). They didn’t get to play Purdue, mich st, or Ohio st at home this year (I think they would of won a couple of them). So the road games they won were (northwestern(106), Rutgers(206), Wisky(150), Minny(135), and they have a chance to win at Illinois(190). Home game wins (Minny(135), Wisky(150), Illinois(190), Iowa(136), Rutgers(203), and their best 2 wins at home Maryland(66), and Michigan(39). From my eye test I think they should be a tournament team as of today but their resume just doesn’t have the quality wins compared to other bubble teams. They needed the Kansas win from early in the year. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

When was the last time they beat a team ranked in the top 25 currently? November? I could make the same argument there. Quote
mdn82 Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Give them a good product and they will come. Our last deep tourney run was 16 years ago. Most of the students were still in diapers or close to it.No, those tickets need to go to someone else that will use them. “Someone” else would. Maybe not full, but I guarantee the lower level would be 95% full. The balcony I get, but lower level that bad? No excuse. Don’t ***** when you lose tickets. Chances are you will still get a seat.

We need people in the stands... for the Love of God, we're not Penn State. LIHoosier and mdn82 2 Quote

To answer your question the last quadrant 1 win they got was January 9th at Michigan Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Thank you Penn St. Two Big Ten teams have gone 18-0 in league play: 1975 IU 1976 IU Two have gone 17-1: 1953 IU 1993 IU That remains the case after tonight's results. #iubb swingline91, ALASKA HOOSIER, Hardwood83 and 4 others 7 Quote

Beating a ranked team in December means nothing, if that team isn't ranked in March. Not the same. Quote
