  1. Unfortunately for them, the Mavs are bad, really bad. But they did play the bluebirds tight last week in the midweek, so NU doesn't want to play around tomorrow. UNO can pitch a little, but they really can't score. 269th in batting average and 284th in OPS. Been shut out 3 times already and 2 or fewer runs 8 times in 18 games. That's awful, especially against a weak schedule (ranks 293rd). We are 58th in batting average, 103rd in OPS, and 2nd in schedule strength. I think we'll be able to cruise tomorrow - we have enough guys left on the roster, plus a former Mav, who know what happened a year ago and who don't want a repeat. If we're going to have a letdown this week, it'll be Wednesday would be my guess. Hopefully not, but that'd be the spot for it. Weather sounds cold and wet this weekend, so hopefully we can get all 3 games in vs the Aggies.

Season is 1/3 over already, so RPIs are starting to hold some actual weight. Amazing that we're still top 5. If they aren't already, expect every team south of us to start crying about how we're gaming the system. Still lots of moving up and down the RPI rankings for all our opponents. Nicholls is close to Q3, which would be nice. If we could end the year with only 6 Quad 4 games, that'd look really good on a Northern team's resume - would show we made a big effort to upgrade the schedule. C of C took a big jump this week and is closing in on Q2, which would also be nice. Quite a few B1G teams had an RPI dip last week, but 4 of the teams that lost ground aren't on our schedule, so not quite as bad as it could be. Hopefully Minnesota doesn't fall much farther. Quad 1: Home games vs. RPI 1-25, neutral site games vs. 1-40, road games vs. 1-60 Quad 2: Home games vs. RPI 26-50, neutral site games vs. 41-80, road games vs. 61-120 Quad 3: Home games vs. RPI 51-100, neutral site games vs. 81-160, road games vs. 121-240 Quad 4: Home games vs. RPI 101+, neutral site games vs. 161+, road games vs. 241+

  4. One of the all-timers here - I don't believe College Station gets a shoutout like several other Tejas cities, but there's a Houston mention, so it'll work for Sunday, too.

  6. Fred on BTN (this was from his press conference, not live) Wanted the team to be able to savor the moment together. Good day not to have anything to prep for. Could reflect about where things are. Start prepping immediately now - put a game plan together to try to win against a great team. BTN guys: NU is built to win NCAA games - versatility in scoring Trev Alberts story line is unbelievable ::wink:: TAM wins with offensive rebounding NU will be tough for TAM to scheme for because so many guys can beat you. I like NU - they're tough Have to keep TAM off the glass - 42% offensive rebounding, but they miss a lot of shots - a LOT of shots. TAM is good defensively If you get Houston, let's see what happens.
  7. Yup, that sounds on brand. BTN will have Fred on here in a few minutes.
  8. SEC Network will have a selection special from 8-10 pm Central. I'm guessing they'll pick A&M to roll.
  9. Husker sighting! CBS has a camera for us, even though it's just the team at the watch party. Looked relaxed on the big couch. Thought I saw CJ sitting there, so he must be feeling better.
