Somehow Nebraska jumps from a bubble team that probably doesn't get in, to a 3 seed. Creighton must of been sitting squarely next to us since they are 3 seed as well.

We might start calling you Matt Lunardi, b/c you apparently have such a grip on this NIT bracket. You're also the guy that said how huge of a win Creighton over a crappy Bradley team was, I don't think you have a clue about college basketball. With posts/commentary like this nobody is going to give you any credibility.

Nebraska will be in the NIT even with a loss to KU. Nebraska has 6 quality wins/ 3 bad losses according to realtimerpi, Creighton on the other hand has 4 quality wins/3 bad losses.
