I do not think that anyone saw this upset coming. Nebraska is one of two best teams in the nation, the other being Pitt. What a great performance in a packed Rec Hall.
I watched Pitt demolish Louisville the other night and they are scary good.
I watched some of Nebby spanking Wiscy and they are scary good.
PSU has not been playing the game recently to that level ... until last night.
Nebraska doesn't give points away, you have to earn them.
Last night, PSU earned them.
Gritty performance by a team that was not playing to the level expected of a 4th ranked team, but still winning their matches.
I believe that the "experts" were thinking that after this weekend that Stanford would move up to 4 and drop PSU to 5 or 6. This is critical because the top 4 seeds will host 2 weekends of the NCAA tournament.
Louisville plays at Stanford today. Pitt plays at Georgia Tech. Nebby plays at Maryland.
Tomorrow evening, the NCAA tournament will be announced. I expect PSU to be top 4. I suspect the winner of Louisville -Stanford to also be top 4. Pitt and Nebby also.
