Thank you UCLA! NU is in!
- Thread starter Eurocat
- Start date
Fox graphic had the Cats to be invited to the new Crown tourney in Vegas. That would be great. More practice and experience for the young'uns.
Fox would probably know since it's their tournament.
A deserved sendoff for Matt and Ty. Not glorious, but something they led the team to.
Huge accomplishment to make the Big10 tournament after losing 2 of the top 3 scorers. Coaches and players came together to make it happen. Young players have gained lots of experience which will pay ends next year.
Let’s win a couple of tournament games and make a statement. Go Cats!
FWIW that “NUBB Guru” attention whore on X says that NU will decline a Crown invite, which seems like fake news given 1) teams are allegedly required to play per contractual obligations and 2) why would we do that lol. Unless we’d rather play in the NIT?
Rutgers winning was huge. Minnesota then Wisconsin is preferable to Ohio State then Illinois.
Minnesota has been tough this year when on the road. But Wis still easier that IL at this point
I agree the matchups are better, but it sucks that the games will be during work hours for many of us.
Minnesota playing into OT today and having to travel might give us a little bit of an edge in this one, but watching the games today, it all comes down to who gets hot. The Sandforts went off at Nebraska for 38 and the Huskers couldn't throw it in the ocean in the second half. Quite a comedown for a Nebraska team that looked like a near certainty NCAA pick a few weeks ago after they rallied to beat the Cats. There is so much parity throughout MOST of college hoops where a key injury or two and some bad end of game luck can be the difference between success and failure.
I thought Iowa without their big and being on the road would have been in trouble. But they shot the lights out from 3 and Nebby got an unexpected bad game from Brice Williams, who had been very hot of late.
Neutral site is on the road for both teams, We have generally not done well on the road (or at neutral sites for that matter) this year
