In a season, you’ll have 3-5 perfect games where everything clicks. This was one of those for Nebraska. They’ll have a hard time replicating this again on Saturday.

Florida went 36-4 last year with a natty. They’re 5-4 so far this year.
Nb was very scrappy tonight. Wisc was out of sync for 90%of the game. Cold as ice. Nb is a handy team.

Fred is a really good college coach in my opinion. Nebraska would be wise to do what is needed to keep him there for as long as possible.
I'll always maintain that Fred wasn't really given a chance to succeed with the Bulls; he was brought in to coach a young, rebuilding team, but ended up with Butler, an over the hill D. Wade, and an aging R. Rondo, none of whom respected Fred or was willing to be coached by him. Fred wanted to coach a ball sharing game, and was given iso players. And yet, once Rondo expressed his feelings, and basically took over leadership, they would have beaten the Celtics in the first round of the playoffs had he not gone down.
I think every team other than Oregon, Maryland, Penn State, Rutgers, Minnesota, Northwestern makes the dance.
The remainder probably are all good enough to, but I don't think all 12 actually make it.
Bucky's non-con will end up looking pretty meh, so I can see them being left out.
EIU losses to Eastern Kentucky 68-59.
Zion Fruster with 16pts.
Next @Iowa St 12/14 12pm

Wiscy, OSU, and Washington will be bubbilicious IMO. Maybe Iowa too. Think 10 teams will get in
Did not see the preseason hype with Oregon and Wisconsin
I think if Washington is healthy, they could be a top 5-6 B1G team. Think they've got a very high ceiling if all their new pieces click together by end of season
Steinbach is the goods. If healthy, I think he's a lock to win B1G freshman of the year. He's going to put up monsterous #s there

I think as of right now there are 4 teams that will get top 4 seeds in the tournament (Michigan, Purdue, Illinois, MSU), 4 teams that are going to be a 5-8 seed (Indiana, Nebraska, UCLA, Iowa), and 4 teams that will be bubbly (USC, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Washington).
That leaves 2 teams that felt like they should have been better (Oregon, Northwestern) and 4 teams that are just awful this year (Maryland, Minnesota, Rutgers, Penn State).

I'm not sure about Iowa or Indiana. I've got a feeling both coaches will get pushed around in the B1G this year. The Hoosiers already lost at Minnesota.
I don't think the B10 has done well enough in top non-conference games to spread the "cred" over 12 teams. I think teams will need to be at least 500 in conference to make it. That likely means 10 teams, and maybe an 11th who gets a play in game.

The B1G has 11 teams in the top 40 in KenPom (10 in the top 35). So I could see 11 making it most. With 10 being the likely number.
I kinda like Iowa tbh. I’m dreading that game in Iowa City
Really hope we get a three seed or above. Our non-conf record should not be a drag cuz both UConn and Bama look like 3 seed above to me. Just need to perform in B1G.
Iowa up 25-12 on Iowa State with 6:31 to go in the 1st half.
Iowa State is ice cold.
