Message: [QUOTE="azfan, post: 3412828, member: 7748"] Brown's 20 points (high volume, low efficiency) off the bench lead the Huskers to a come-from-behind road win at Wisconsin. Relatively big game for the Huskers as they try to build a resume for the big dance. I know a consensus exists that the Big Ten will get 9 or 10 teams in. Even if that's the case Nebraska needs to accumulate one or two more road victories in the tough Big Ten. Huskers face Gophers on the road, Buckeyes at home before closing stretch that included conference co-leaders and Indiana twice. If one looks at Massey rankings for visibility Nebraska is currently 33rd. Wisconsin was 98 so a loss even on the road to them would have not been very helpful. Both Minnesota and Ohio State are ranked below the Huskers in Massey so a loss to either, even the Buckeyes on the road certainly is not going to help the Husker resume. I think they need to split the ranked games the rest of the way in to make the tournament. 3 of 4 are on the road. I don't see an 18 game winning Husker team in the dance, regardless of Massey. That said, Huskers control their destiny, and they face Minnesota Thursday without control of destiny. BTW...the Pac-12 is widening its first place lead over the Big Ten in the overall Massey rankings for whatever that's worth. [/QUOTE]
