they are #20 and 1 game out of the Conference lead. The boys don't hold hosting as a huge goal like unrealistic fans do. For a School who has made 1 regional in 16 years, how about we get to one before jumping all the way to hosting? Lets get to the dance consistently then worry about hosting.

Will Bolt has literally said hosting is the goal. Pay attention.

You think Brocket can pitch 4 days after a 107 pitch no-hitter outing?

I'm a little puzzled if you thought that's what was being suggested in that post (because it was extremely obvious it wasn't) or instead you were asking if that was at all feasible as an option? Because nobody outside of sadist Dave Van Horn would do that to a pitcher.

Congrats to JB!! All I can say is wow!!

Should be National POtW too, easy. Holy smokes, what a job.

Ummmm yeah, that's more like it.

Just a guess, but RPI must consider weekend games being much more important and midweek as being developmental games.

It doesn't. It was a road game against a quad 1 opponent. Even though Creighton is in danger of not making their conference tournament, their RPI is still top 50.

Games on NET

Yeah since Creighton is hosting, BTN has no rights to stream.

Get two runners on base in the 2nd and 3rd: shid pant. Nobody on base in the 4th? SOLO BOMBS! WHEE!

i don't know if the radio doesn't mike the crowds at all....but it sounded like a funeral on the radio

 

 

They were commenting how great they thought the crowd was. I think it was just a matter of watching the team get the baseball shoved up their butt all day by Brody Brecht (figuratively, of course ) that took them out of it.

radar doesn't look good for an 11 am start

They already announced another delay 20 minutes ago.

Walsh on cruise control. Good time for it, but would prefer he do this every start, not just now and then 

When Clark hits the wall, he hits it hard. Huskers now going to be forced to use the even worse bullpen guys as this one is over.

McConnaughey getting blasted does not bode well for tomorrow.

McConnaughey's turn. Maryland pitching is worse than Rutgerseses. Put up 16 again on a Saturday, please. Beat the twerps.

2 outs, 2 straight hits to the top of the wall in left field off of pinch hitters, guys on 2nd and 3rd to tie it up, bring in another PH and three straight strikes, chasing the last one into the dirt after 2 right down he middle to end the game. 6-4

That was kinda unfair for Bolt to put a true freshman hitting .200 in that spot. I'm not actually of any belief he threw the game, but still it makes no sense to put Max there when you've got other guys with more experience. They clearly wanted a lefty and were down to two guys who can bat left-handed: Max Buettenback and Joshua Overbeek. Unless I missed an injury report for Josh, put him the f*** in there.

Will Bolt has not won a regular season series with Rutgers. The closest he got was the 2 wins in the pod in 2021 but that was after RU came to Lincoln and stomped a mudhole in Bolt's team for 3 games, just as they had cracked the top 25 rankings. Sound familiar?

7 plus runs again huh?   not so much.

So you haven't watched this team? Gave up 9 to Ohio State last Sunday, most of it in the 9th inning. 7 on Sunday to Northwestern. Gave up 7 on a Sunday to South Alabama, 8 to Grand Canyon, 7 to OU. Rutgers still has time to score more here unless Sanders can do his job, but anyone who doesn't trust Nebraska’s pitching depth is hardly going out on a limb.

Playing their way to a 2 or 3-seed probably at the #1 overall team in the tournament. Fans will declare that the NCAA disrespects us, rather than look at the fact that the team can't hold a 3-run lead against a Big 10 opponent that just lost 5 of their first 6 conference games.

Not good. Bolt really screwed the pooch on the pitching staff for 4 years.

Glad they won the series obviously, but in the last 4 games, they've only scored 3 runs in 3 of them (7 yesterday, I know), and have been chasing a few too many sliders that are about 10 feet out of the strike zone. Clean that up.

If only the other guys could be as consistently reliable to go 6+ innings as Sears.

5-3 final. Nebraska strikes out 14 times, with a whole lot of those chasing pitches that, if I heard the radio crew correctly, were bouncing in. Jeebus, Bolt.

Whew. Sweeps are big.

More mind-boggling, inconceivable defense by Northwestern to rob a run

Lol, bats have been asleep all day.  We have 8 free passes, 5 hits & an error that gave us 2 runs.

Not exactly, they were launching missiles early on but Northwestern plays out-of-their mind defense. Now it's just weak AB after weak AB.
