Allen? That's dumb. It's a free year. What's the point in leaving now?

Apparently he's dealing with a wrist injury and only a handful of games left with nothing to play for other than pride. He's also had some disciplinary issues and has been benched a couple times. Kid graduated from Boys Town high school and has bounced around. Nebraska is his fourth school he has played at.

Who abducted the usual Huskers team and replaced them with guys that can make shots ?
The last two games they've been more about player movement and ball movement. Open shots and more shots at the basket.

Allen is probably addition by subtraction. I've watched a bunch of Huskers games and if he was knocking down shots, he was pretty much rendered useless. Also, I felt like he had attitude problems and that could hurt with team chemistry.

Ball movement has been so much better, also actually making some shots. Huskers just really good effort and hustling for loose balls as well

They've been MUCH better since coming out of pause. Definitely something to build on for next year with the good recruiting class coming in, and I'm sure some high level transfers. The B1G landscape is going to look alot different with everyone that's leaving the conference and all the people expected to leave early. I think Nebraska is going to make a significant move up the standings.

I think they still are. Assuming they don't lose out(against us, first B1G tournament game). Every team on the bubble keeps losing. And I'd have Rutgers in front of all those bubble teams. This is an awful look though.

Yeah thats more so what I meant. If they happen to also lose vs Gophs and first round BIG10.
Does 13-12 get it done?

That's getting dicey at that point. It'd be two Q1 losses I'm guessing so not "bad" losses, but there is no precedent of a team 1 game over .500 getting in. But that might not matter due to the shortened OOC schedules. I'd have to see how the landscape plays out. There's a couple extra bids this year(No Ivy, Arizona self imposed ban), so they might sneak in with that. I'm trying to figure out how much historical precedent is going to be placed to this year, and that's just tough to figure out.

I mean there's either going to be teams getting in at 1 or 2 games over .500 or a ton of mid and low major teams with gaudy records are going to get in despite having crap metrics

Yeah there is as truth to that. I won't be surprised if a team 1 game over .500 got in, but if it did, it's going to be a B1G team. I don't think any other conference will be afforded such a luxury.

Michigan, Baylor, and Gonzaga are so much further ahead from the rest of the field it's crazy. Osu and Illinois will end up likely playing for the last 1 seed but imo osu is more a 2 through 4. They'd not be a one or 2 in most any other year. Just a lot of teams in the 2 to 6 range.

Agreed.
Obviously there are teams capable of getting hot and beating those 3 on any given day. But i find it hard to believe all 3 will be upset.
Typically I root for anarchy. But I really would like to see those 3 make the final 4. Sort it out head to head. With Gonzaga as it stands now being the one who avoids the other 2 til the finals.
