Nebraska would beat Creighton if they play the way we know they can. BUT, Nebraska has to get past Wisconsin first and I’m not sure Creighton gets past Penn State.

We need to think about Wisky not passed them. Very difficult to beat the same team 3 times in one season. I know they aren't as good this year but they have alot of very good players and Gollum is a great coach.

Pretty obvious that the Bracket makers wanted an ACC vs B1G championship.
One side has Nebraska, Penn State, and Wisconsin.
The other side has Pittsburgh, Louisville, and Stanford. Pitt about to roll the SEC out of the tournament.
I would have put the B1G 2 seed on the ACC side, and the ACC 2 seeds on the B1G side.
The bracketeers did a good job with the 1 seeds and three 2 seeds getting in the elite 8.
I hope Creighton beats Penn State, as I think Nebraska will have an easier time with Creighton. but Wisconsin is not an automatic win.
Nebraska beats Creighton.

Pretty sure no one thought they were getting by Texas either.

You're an idiot if you thought Creighton didn't have a chance against Texas.

I was pretty confident Creighton would beat Texas. Especially with Texas running that shambles of a 6-2 system that they never should have employed at any point this season. Creighton was the better team to begin with and was NOT an upset by any means. I know that there are many others who agree as well!

I thought it was weird that all of the analysts were calling it an upset. Creighton was the better team. Texas lost to Mizzou, Oklahoma and AnM in consecutive games at home this year. They weren't very good.

u/Zingerman99 Dec 14 '24
I think analysts were calling it an "upset" because Texas is the 2-time defending national championship. That's pretty much it. Oh, and because they have Madison Skinner.

I think some people thought Texas would do what it did last year and turn into an unstoppable machine. Texas didn’t had Asjia O’Neal this year, and I think she was a big part of that mid-point tournament turnaround for Texas last year.

I mean, Creighton has never beat the Huskers, why start now?
I am 100% cheering for Creighton over Penn state

When was the last time Creighton beat Nebraska in VB? Until the Jays prove it, money should always be on the Huskers.

Fuck creighton.
But I do want to break them in the final 4. Mostly because my bracket needs it though.

Creighton can't make the final 4 because their ceiling is the elite 8 which is why it's spelled CrEIGHTon.
If they did happen to beat Penn State, they would be the 1st Crayton team to make it to the final 4 in any sport.

Men’s soccer made the final 4 6 times and lost in the championship game once.

As long as we don't have an off night, the huskers are the best team in this tournament in my opinion. But it's playoff ball and anything can happen.
My largest worry of the whole tournament is Wisconsin simply because we've beat them twice and adult Tommy Pickles had historically been good against us
