Only idiots would argue for a 10, right?
I don’t know whether NU can hang with any of the presumed non-PU 1’s. But definitely easier to beat an 8 and a 1 than a 10 and a 7 and a 2, yeah?
Any NU win would require two of Martinelli or Brooks or Langborg to shoot well, which hasn’t been a given lately. I’m assuming Boo will continue to play like the best guard in the country.
NU also is really weak against anyone who can get to the basket. Nicholson’s absence is felt so much more than Berry’s, both because of time to adjust and because his impact is so far beyond the stats.
BracketMatrix has NU in 106 of 109, as the second 9 seed. MSU is in every bracket but as the fourth of six #10s. Their win over Minnesota (in the BTTT) may have also been necessary.
Wow.
