Projected seed: 8
Nebraska’s resume showcases a mix of strong victories and some concerning losses, which puts them firmly in the conversation for a solid NCAA tournament seed. Key wins against teams like UCLA and Creighton highlight their ability to compete against quality opponents, while a win against Indiana further bolsters their case. However, the definitive blowout loss to Michigan State stands out as a significant blemish. Upcoming games against teams like Iowa and Maryland will be crucial; securing at least one victory there could solidify their standing, while failures in these matchups could jeopardize their current momentum. The team’s defensive efficiency has generally been commendable, but any struggles on offense, as seen against St. Mary's, could hinder their tournament aspirations.
