USD wins 7-3

 

Did you mean to put these score updates in the Husker baseball thread @Bugeaters1?

 

Too bad the pitching went south after getting back into this one, after leaving so many on base early on. Hope for a better all around game tomorrow.

No I didn't, Thanks for the heads up.

Hard to play "what if" with this year's squad.  What if Bando and Jawan don't get hurt?  What if Wilhelm had good knees?  What if DW was good from the start?  What if Sam G was 100% each game?  What if Blaise was 100% all year?  Then you look at a few of the benefactors from above; Dawson, Lawrence, Keisei and Sam Hoiberg. 

Rather than what if, I say holy sh*t, what a strange but somewhat stimulating ride this has been.

 

What if everything is the same except we beat Purdue in regulation instead of losing in OT

Speaking of dreams, I think we need to be above .500 to make the NIT which means we need at least 3 more wins to qualify as us going 2-1 in the regular season puts us at 16-15 which means we'd need to win 1 in the B1G tourney to not finish .500.  Assuming we just don't win out, our best shot at the post season might actually be winning 2 but still ending up in the bottom 4.

I know we don't have to have a winning record, but it helps... But now you are telling me they don't like .500 teams?  What arbitrariness is this!

If Collier is still in charge of it, we might need to just make the NCAA to otherwise qualify for the NIT after than nonsense last time with our seed he dealt us.

Sorry, they dropped their .500 requirement a few years back.

Rest assured, there’s not ONE B1G Coach who wants to see the Big Red on their side of the Bracket.

Uh oh, Pollard on there won’t help. Built in excuse when it doesn’t happen.

Listened to the Ben Johnson Show today. They lost at Illinois last night & will be traveling to Maryland tomorrow & then on to Lincoln. They won’t be in Mpls. ALL week & should be dragging A** by the time they show up here Saturday.

Let's hope so.  Seems like any time there's a flicker of light at the end of the tunnel for Nebrasketball (honestly, this applies to most Nebraska sports programs in recent years), they find a way to crap the bed against a bad team.  Cannot lose at home to the obvious conference doormat.  Need to beat them soundly and any advantage is welcome.

Me when we're sitting at 16-16 on selection Sunday-- "Damn Pollard.  If it wasn't for him on there."

Looking for Wisconsin and Penn St to lose this weekend to keep the dream of staying out of the bottom four alive
