Was that the air coming out of NU’s season or a comment on the officiating late in the UCLA game? Both. Cats lose 73-69.
Cats could still make the Big Ten tournament (with the possibility of up to a 7 way tie at 8-12, and the tiebreaks are beyond me) but they probably would need a lengthy run there to make the Big Dance.
Aren’t we in the BT Tourney at 7-13 if Iowa loses last 2 games (which is likely)? That would put 3 teams behind us for sure. Other scenarios are also possible. But that’s easiest for me to comprehend.
Tonight was a bummer. I thought we were gonna pull that out somehow but terrible no call.
Tie breaks give me a migraine, though there’s probably some site that has all the options. Penn State and Washington are definitely out, but there will be several teams that finish 7-13.
Shy of making at least the semi-finals of the Big Ten tournament, I think Northwestern’s NCAA hopes died courtesy of the injured list.
Iowa finishes the season at Nebraska, and that’s likely to be a toss-up game. Nebraska probably needs to win tonight at OSU and again on Sunday to stay in the NCAA Tournament field.
