75% FT shooter for Nebraska missed a pair with an upset over OSU on the line.  Looks like Bucks hang on in OT

[MaximumSam]

Bucks missing guys, Liddell played like crap, but Branham filled it up.

So basically what you are telling me is that I shouldn't panic over tOSU needing OT against UNL?

Definitely not. It's good they got UNL instead of say Purdue coming off the layover, but E.J. Liddell is their best player and he went 2-14 from the field, while their second best player, Kyle Young, didn't play. They won because of their guard play, which had been pretty crappy coming into the game.

I wouldn't tell anyone that
UNL is bad

They do suck. I'm disappointed in them - I thought they would be much better this year. They can't shoot from three and half the time it seems they don't guard the three point line.

Going to try to post an updated NCAA and NIT Bracketology each week, simply 2/3 SOR, and 1/3 KenPom.  Things should come into focus more as we go on.  Still have some outliers.

For auto-bid purposes, I'm assuming whoever is in first gets the autobid, but that the highest ranked KenPom team wins the tournament

Well, I was wrong with my pick. 

[MaximumSam]

Johnny Davis is the man. Wiscy looked like utter dog crap the last three games then goes to Purdue and wins.

[FearlessF]

badgers/boilers better than Browns/Steelers

First half was rough, second half really picked up though

If he keeps this up, he will have a good case for the second-best individual season in program history. I don’t think he’ll push Frank, and I would have to double check how good Harris was when he peaked, but he’s on pace to top Tucker’s best, Happ’s 19-10-5 and a few others. 

[FearlessF]

Maryland/Iowa also better than Browns/Steelers
