Lunardi somehow drops us a spot….

But wins versus a double digit seed doesn’t “help”. Only hurts with a loss. So rather play a higher ranked team.
There’s no real bad team in the b10. Every team has had questionable losses. A win is a win.
Wanted to understate so I didn't leave that flank vulnerable. If so, for us to be out, committee selects 1-2-3-5-6-7-8-9. Tough to see.
Could you see committee doing that?
it looks like Indiana will play Michigan..not sure on that. Michigan would be just 17-14 at that point, Indiana would likely need to beat #1 seed too....tough for both of those schools to get in especially over RU
Bac people keep leaning back on Nebby in 2018 not making the tournament.
How different was the field?
You’ve been doing this for years so I value your opinion, but I don’t think there’s a connection there.
For instance, they tied with Michigan that year - Michigans overall record was 33-8 and Nebraskas was 22-11.
Penn state was 9-9 that year with an overall of 26-13
True, but it is very rare for a double digit seed to reach the semi-final. Does anyone know how often a team that played on Wednesday has won a game on Friday in the Big Ten tournament?
Conference standings are not factored in. Nebraska finished 4th one year and didn't get in. Gtown in 2010 finished 8th in the big East and got a 3 seed.
Stop that nonsense. They beat nobody above them. We beat everybody. In a few hours we may be the 4th place team in the B1G. We are making the NET and many bracketologists look very silly. We should not be defending Joe Lunardi.
And also have losses to Lafayette Umass DePaul Northwestern. Not saying you won't get in. I'd highly suggest getting one more win.
And as Nebraska showed the last lace team beat the first place team. Which I don’t like if we end up forth we will be in Illinois bracket instead of Wisconsin. I think we measure up better Va Wisconsin.
This is an indictment of the conference top end strength not a credit to its basement in my view.
This is so silly. Why risk a loss versus a non ranked team? can only hurt us
The dregs of the B1G are no longer horrible. (That is after Eddie Jordan has been gone.)
The B1G only had 4 bids that year and Michigan (5 seed in B1G) won the tourney. Not comparing apples to apples. B1G is stronger this year.
Nebby had no quality wins but Michigan and lost to them in the tourney
These guys should know better
We face Iowa and I welcome the challenge
Man up
If we want to be a NCAA team we have to play like one, regardless of who it is we play
Too many people would rather play an extra game which is flat out poor logic
And could backfire
Again, accept the challenge of playing someone we beat already
We have beaten ALL the good ones once already
What's that have to do with me wanting an extra game? I'd rather try and get an extra Dub and go into the next round with momentum.
As you stated above if you want to be an NCAA team accept the challenge.
We are three games away from the league championship, and you would rather be four games away
That’s fine, but I would rather be as close as possible to our goal at the start
As far as momentum, we are on a two game winning streak right now, three does little to help
12-8 in B1G, and #4 seed in conference tourney. Not going to be in the first four. Too much weight being given to NET.
