>>No doubt that Kansas is a top tier team. I will be very surprised if KU
doesn't end up as a 1 seed for the NCAA Tourney. I doubt KU will run the
table, but 1 or 2 losses is all I can see them with at the end of the year. 
 
 
Kansas is a good a team as I have seen this year along side North Carolina.
That would be some kind of Championship game especially with Roy Williams
now at UNC. 
 
 
>>I don't think this is the game to measure Nebraska's progress with. Let's
see if we can finish the conference with an even, or a winning record. That
will show tremendous progress and should translate into a NCAA bid at least.

 
 
No, not just this game alone but coupled with beating Oregon and looking
pretty good against a team, Kansas, they were overmatched against it is at
least encouraging. 
 
 
 
 >>Am I right in saying that we should get a NCAA bid combining our 2 loss
non conference start with an 8 - 8, or 9 - 7 conference record? Kansas is
the only home game we can afford to lose as road wins are very hard to come
by. 
 
 
I doubt if 8-8 will do it because if I recall, like football, strength of
schedule has some weight to it and NU's pre -conference schedule was very
weak. 9-7 probably would put NU on the bubble.
