[personal] [Husker] Nebraska at Baylor - 6:30 p.m. tonight (fwd)

[Skylar Dodds]

Hello Husker Fans,

I'd say that NU probably even has to go 4-1 or 5-0 and win 2 or 3
games in the Big XII tourney because their RPI is like 209523422 or
so and even winning out isn't going to improve that much.

Pardon my ignorance, but do RPI's factor in margin of victory/loss?

Just curious.

>> I've heard talk in the last few days about these "win-able" games and a rather dangerous segue into talk of "winning out."  Whereas these are all "winnable," thoughts of "winning out" are probably unreasonable (although I'd head the list of people who wouldn't "bet against Doc").  Winning three of five would put NU at 18-12 on the year, 7-9 in Big XII play -- surpassing everyone's expectations at the start of the season.  They could fare better than that.  They may fare worse.

MN> 18-12 gets them into the NIT (maybe even with a home game), but I think
MN> it'll take at least 21 wins to get the NCAA to overlook those shellackings
MN> at the hands of Kansas, which means winning in round one of the Big 12
MN> tournament.

MN> The Journal-Star ran a story the other day on the 'bubble' teams in the
MN> conference, Nebraska wasn't one of them.
