Most shoud've known this was gonna be a fairly tall task in the regional, not just because of getting sent to Arky, but because of the very questionable pitching depth that is needed this time of year. This is the biggest reason the conference screwed not only NU, but all of their teams, by having no midweek and out of conference games .
Most of us honestly thought no chance, even less after losing Max but the grittiness they showed this weekend should be looked on as a strong foundation to build upon. Like the pitching potentially returning, but some big bats to replace.
