OU and texas will beat us, tech will beat us, we just have to win the games we can win and finish in the top 6 of the big 12. it will be a challenge, we just cant lose the bad ones like kansas state.

I have to say I agree with you for once. The Big 12 North is a very winnable division for Nebraska, no matter how much I bash them. In past years KU and Mizzou and Iowa State were very good teams that Nebraska didn't have a chance of beating in the conference standings. Now I do believe Nebraska will finish in the top 6 of the Big 12. Sure, Texas and Oklahoma from the South will finish above Nebraska, but I'll face the facts here. Nebraska has a very good shot at entering the NCAA Tournament and maybe pulling an upset or two to get into the Sweet 16 for the first time in however many years it's been (I have no clue, I have only really followed college basketball for about 7 years).
