Wow, unbelievable level of home cooking against Nebraska - egregious even but Wisconsin standards

Home cooking plus dessert.

A couple of good things for IU right now -- SMU down at home to Tulane 45-38 at half and Loyola up 8 with 7 to go against Drake.

How the finish in conference doesn’t really matter.   Conference record isn’t taken into account.  Full body of work.   Nebraska finished 13-5 one year and 4th and got left out 

Ultimately they can consider just about anything they want. They needed an amazing conference season to offset their pre-conf play. The higher they finish certainly can’t hurt them in the eyes of some voters.  
 

But I had forgotten about that Nebraska team. After looking them up they closed out the season going something like 7-1 versus the dregs of the B1G. And when I say “dregs” I mean pretty much the whole Big ten. Holy crap was the conference bad that year. Even though Nebraska tied for 4th, nobody behind them made the tourney either.  
 

Maybe I should’ve said “it’s rare for a 4th place team in a deep and good conference to miss the tourney, even despite a bad non-conf.”

This Sparty/Maryland game intrigues me.  If Maryland wins they play Michigan.   If Sparty wins they would play Maryland again.  If Sparty tanks you know that they would rather play IU instead of Maryland again

Nebraska up 3 with 34 sec.  The fact that Nebraska got Kohled about as bad as I have seen.  This is an amazing comeback by them

Loyola up 2 with 1:35 to go

Tough to win without Johnny Davis, especially in close games down the stretch.

Nebraska played without their best player and another player was ejected early.

Gotta go for that 3 down 1!! Grrrrr

Happy Wiscy went down to Nebrasketball though.

Nebraska had one hell of an end to the season. Three straight road wins vs Penn State, Ohio State and Wisconsin.

Penn St, Ohio St and Wisconsin

Terrible loss for Wisconsin. A chance to win the B1G outright…and lose to Nebraska? This board would be broken right now

Michigan State isn’t playing well enough to have to tank games.

Brad Davison lost senior day to Nebraska. Coach K lost his last home game to The rival.  Not a bad couple of dsyd

Who is the 1 seed next week if Illinois beats Iowa tonight?  I was hoping IU would get a crack at Wisconsin if they won the 8/9 game. Don’t like our chances against Cockburn and the Illini as much. Especially if Johnny Davis is out.

Wisconsin showing what they are with Johnny Davis. If he can't play rest of the season, Wisconsin is done.
