Thats the word on the street with the Huskers. They need a sweep, and they are coming to Iowa City to get it. You heard it in the Husker locker room first.
 
Nebraska had a good out of conference win over K-State yesterday. They lost 2 out of 3 against Ohio State last weekend. They are thinking that they need to win 14 or 15 out of their last 19 games to have an high enough RPI to be able to host a regional tournament. So, yes, they are looking for a sweep. Go Hawks!
 
Nebraska won't be hosting a regional this year, but the Huskers really probably need to win this series. Being swept by Maryland hurt, and losing to to Ohio State (both in the 10th inning) also hurt. Huskers need to start picking up some more conference wins. Been playing well in the mid week games and the RPI has been staying steady. Should be a fun series this weekend.
 
A few fun facts....

Since joining the B1G, Nebraska is 5-7 vs Iowa in baseball.

Rick Heller is 5-1 vs Nebraska in his two years at Iowa.
 
Crazy that 9 of those 12 games (last 9 in a row) have been in Iowa City.

Yeah, the B1G scheduling sucks with this add a team or two every few years like they have. Then they completely redo and screw up scheduling. This season marks the third year in a row Iowa will go to Michigan and Purdue (already played)
