What a way for Penn State to end their season. I admit, I was Penn State's starting pitcher today.

Nebraska batted near .400 in that ass whooping. Or can you say that when referring to Penn State losses or is that politically incorrect now?

Congrats the Nebraska Mens Baseball Team and Darin Erstad.

Teams in the B1G Bracket

Nebraska was 2-1 vs Maryland
Nebraska was 2-1 vs Minnesota
Nebraska was 1-2 vs Iowa

Did not play Purdue

What are the knowledgable people predictions?

I ain't knowledgable about baseball.

Looking at the Schedule, Nebraska has come out flat in the first game of a series. Although, this is an elimination bracket, Nebraska does not want to lose this one.

Honestly, I don't expect them to win the tournament. In baseball you need too many things to bounce your way to win 6 or 7 games in a row. And pitching is huge in these tournaments. Nebraska SHOULD beat Purdue. The key is no errors defensively, no free base runners and don't burn thru your pitching staff early on.

The brackets are funky in that they can end up playing anybody from either bracket if they advance past Thursday. The brackets start to cross over.

Hell they SHOULD beat every team in this tournament. They have the starting pitching to beat every team they could play. Hopefully they are effective enough on offense to allow the starting pitching to go deep into games and save arms.

Ideally, you win your first 2 games and get a day off while the other remaining teams decimate their pitching staff and then get a team on fumes on Saturday

Minnesota beats tournament hosts, Indiana 5-4 in game one of the tournament. Minnesota will face the winner of Michigan/Northwestern while Indiana will face the loser in an elimination game.

Can I watch this online? I have no cable

Don't think so. With BTN 2 GO you need a TV account sign in,

You might be able to get it at huskers.com but it looks like BTN has it locked down

Game to start at 5:03 or so because of rain

This is why it's so hard to win tournament's like this. You need so many things to go right and not have an off day. The 7 seed just knocked off the 2 seed.

Northwestern will face Minnesota tomorrow and Michigan will play Indiana in an elimination game.

Nebraska needs to get a lead early and if Hohensee can make it into the 6th inning at least, I like our chances.

Big collision in the outfield for Purdue. Runners for nebraska at 2nd and 3rd no outs.

Hopefully the two purdue players can still play.
