Well the NIT at least got me interested....now im pissed and want us to win even more than i did before.
Lets hope the team feels the same.

Iowa was 18-14 10-8 and was a #1 seed in the NIT last year. You guys got screwed.
What I find so weird is all season they said the Big 10 was weak but yet when it came time to seed the teams, you've got a 2 seed, two 3 seeds and a 5 seed. So 3 of the top 16 teams in the country and it's a weak conference? So bizarre.
Big slap in the face, to the players/fans taking away a home game.
Real boat load of BS today and sadly, nobody will care outside of Nebraska, but its a shame.
The entire selection process by NCAA/NIT is a friggin joke right now.

Anyone who still thinks beating kansas would have got us in is wrong.
They shouldnt be, but they are.

I watched their tourney game. Okie St is the better team. Dan Dickbag was on ESPN going after the fact that they wanted Tre Young, not OU. I agree.
There were 16 teams ahead of us acocording to our seed.
Beating kansas doesnt put us there.
Indiana with our exact schedule would be in the tourney.
This is about the name on the jersey, nothing else.
Oh yeah, totally agree. NU and PSU are labeled as football schools in the CBB world.
Crazy to think Kansas beat Nebraska by a point, both go 13-5 in conference play. Kansas is a #1 seed, Nebraska has to travel to BFE Mississippi.
That move to the Big Ten really helped the basketball program huh?

Or in the case of Oklahoma, the name on one jersey.
All things aren't equal. You guys have a great facility and a home court advantage now. And are playing schools that you aren't familiar with, which is good and bad. Kansas is ***** whipping the blind. They have taken so many beatings, they all root for KU.
Kansas played everyone twice in the #1 RPI conference. Nebraska played 77, 114, 169, 171, 181, and 203 twice. Yea that’s equal.
And the next year and next year and next year...Winking
16 teams ahead of us.
Not sayin its right, but it is true. Ku doesnt make the difference
Why bother paying conference games then? Use the RPI at the end of the non-conference season and assign the highest RPI conference 9 bids and the lowest 4. Then have the non-majors play a conference tournament to determine their participant.
By the way, teams get better and worse over the course of the season. I would take Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana straight up over OU and Texas right now.
Who is saying don’t play conference games? I’ve repeatedly pointed out that when you play 18 conference games and have 14 teams, any particular team is 8 games short of playing everyone in the conference twice. Nebraska got an absolutely $#*% conference schedule this year and it bit us in the ***.
The conference I believe is going to 20 conference games, but that is still 6 games short of playing everyone. Still could be a potential problem.
With 14 teams, there’s going to be the potential of a team getting screwed by their schedule, unless they decide they want to go to 26 conference games.
Not really. The conference is down, but Nebraska’s conference schedule sucked for a few reasons.
Why field a team at all? The NIT is an extension of the NCAA process today.
UVA parlayed a NIT experience into the NCAAs.
Nebraska and PSU can benefit from the opportunity. As can any of the 30 other teams.
Does anybody even remember who wins the NIT from year to year? Nobody pays attention because all the attention is on the Big Dance. They could dominate every game and win the thing and nobody would care. The NIT is equivalent to low level bowl games in football. Not important and a waste of time to play in and watch.
Nebraska should pass, take the kids on a trip to Disney, and declare themselves National Champs. We just have to believe we are good and deserve it right?Just like UCF did.
RollingLaughRoad game; opponent has a pulse; tournament game...this is not exactly NU’s wheelhouse.
Whoa whoa whoa with the logic there....you don't want to buck the media mantra.
NIT didn't even make a good business move. Mississippi State's gym holds a max of 11,000 people and they average around 7K in attendance. Nebraksa's gym holds 15K and is a top 10 school in attendance. You tell me which arena would bring more people. Even if some husker fans state they'd boycott the NIT, NU would still sell a lot more tickets then the dump arena of MSU.
Way to be spiteful NIT. Get a clue.

As you all probably know from my posts before the selection committee picked the field of 68 I am not happy in the slightest. Also I am tired of hearing about how USC, Oklahoma State and Middle Tennessee got more screwed than us.
First, I agree that USC and Middle Tennessee got screwed, but not any worse than us. Oklahoma State on the other hand lost 10 games in their conference, hence having an 8-10 Record. All 4 teams that were 8-10 should of been left out, and so should Alabama and Syracuse.
I'm not here to argue anymore that Nebraska didn't get into the Tournament, I am here now to discuss their NIT seeding. I know it has been said in multiple ways, but I want to share with you this. You guys tell me with a straight face and no anti-Nebraska basketball\Creighton fan syndrome how this is even possible
According to ESPN/Kenpom
Stanford (3 Seed in the NIT)
Nebraska(5 Seed in the NIT)
This is beyond Quadrants, this is flat out wrong.

For whatever reason the NIT appears to have used this metrix for ranking the teams. Compare the Top 50 RPI records and the SOS. I can find 4 teams who had a worse SOS, and 4 who also had only 1 or zero top 50 RPI wins. Don't ask me to explain their formula. Scroll down past the auto qualifiers to the NIT listings.

Just about any "basketball" school that had our record would have been in. No question. The ONLY thing that kept us out is because we are Nebraska
Like Louisville? Oregon? I don't agree with every team in the field, but Nebraska's numbers kept them out.
