Big Ten 1-1 so far on the opening day of the NCAA Tournament.
Nebraska beats UConn 8-5.
Indiana falls to Illinois State 8-7.
Michigan leads Creighton 6-0 in the 7th.
Clemson leads Illinois 4-3 in the 7th.
Ohio State plays later this evening.
Nebraska gives up 19 hits and wins, you don’t see that too often.
Illinois in danger out going 2 and Q. Down to Jacksonville StAte. I’ve said it most of the year, very pedestrian and not impressive in conference. Benefitted from a flawed RPI system and padding it early on.
Agree..
But, same thing with nebra too...capitalizes on easy early schedule but I guess they made it happen.
Now, pretty much one of the easiest regionals....
Not too bad a setup for nebra if they make it out...
Sucks...
Ya I know...I wouldn’t say easiest schedule for Nebby. They did face Oregon StAte and Arizona StAte. They also swept the lesser conference teams in the B1G.
Oklahoma StAte is beatable. Iowa took 2/3 from them and they have shown they can be beat. This goes once again to how much the RPI is relied upon. They were hot at the end of the year and really pushed that RPI.
Ya I know...
I was talking about nebras early season schedule...pretty cake but they capitalized...
It's funny how Iowa takes 2 of 3 from them and they were never even close in the RPI to nebra...
RPI = joke
Ya ya...whole body...
The road killed Iowa too...Losing to bad RPI teams kills you in the baseball RPI especially at home. You have to be flawless at home.
Also this... 11 rbis
The road killed Iowa too...
Another thing UNO in it...lol.
Ya I know...They won their conference tournament. Just like the ncaa tournament in basketball.

Neb got spanked by UCONN today so they’re gone
Ohio StAte and Indiana also out. Only Michigan Left.
I mean..........................Looks like I may have posted the below in the wrong thread. Take it FWIW:
Another tough set of regional results for the B1G.
Michigan gagged a potential regional title by blowing a 3 run lead in T9 - giving up 7 runs to Creighton and losing 11-7. Last chance tonight for the B1G to sneak a team into the tournament's equivalent of the Sweet 16.
With a chance to advance to regional final (where they'd have to be beaten twice in a row), Nebraska held a three run lead going into the 9th against Oklahoma State. Yep . . . they gagged it. And then lost 16-1 to UConn to be eliminated from the tournament.
The B1G did not beat a single team from the ACC or the SEC.
Illinois lost to Clemson (ACC) and Jacksonville State (Ohio Valley).
Indiana lost to Illinois State (Missouri Valley), beat University of Illinois-Chicago (Horizon) and lost to Louisville (ACC).
Nebraska beat UConn (American Athletic Conference), lost to Oklahoma State (Big 12) and lost to UConn.
Ohio State lost to Vanderbilt (SEC), beat McNeese State (Southland Conference) and lost to Indiana State (Missouri Valley).
Michigan beat Creighton (Big East), beat Cincinnati (American Athletic Conference) and then lost to Creighton.
B1G record against conferences in tournament:
American Athletic Conference: 2-1
ACC: 0-2
Big East: 1-1
Big 12: 0-1
Horizon League: 1-0
Missouri Valley: 0-2
Ohio Valley: 0-1
Southland Conference: 1-0
SEC: 0-1
If you go by final RPI, the B1G beat teams with the following RPI.
Michigan over Creighton (#20)
Michigan over Cincinnati (#90)
Indiana over UIC (#187)
Ohio State over McNeese State (#91)
Nebraska over UConn (#26)
Not exactly head turning.
Darin Erstad just announced his resignation as Nebraska baseball coach
Link: http://www.huskers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=100&ATCLID=211804782
Lincoln -- Nebraska Head Baseball Coach Darin Erstad announced Monday afternoon that he has resigned from his position. Erstad guided the Husker program for the past eight seasons, leading the Huskers to a Big Ten Championship and four NCAA Regional appearances.
“I have made the extremely difficult decision to step away from coaching,” Erstad said. “I love this team. I love our staff and I love Nebraska. The bottom line is I do not want to miss seeing our kids grow up. I want to thank our administration and academic staff for all of their support over the last eight years. GBR forever.”
Nebraska Athletic Director Bill Moos said Erstad was the right individual to lead the Husker program, but understands Erstad’s choice to spend more time with his family.
“Darin earned the right to lead this baseball program well into the future, and I was hopeful that would be the case,” Moos said. “Darin loved the opportunity to represent Nebraska every day and did an outstanding job. He’s a Nebraska guy who loves this program and is a proven winner. With all that said, I respect and admire that Darin’s priority now is to spend more time with his family as his children grow up.”
Erstad took over the Nebraska program in June of 2011, and finished with a record of 267-193-1. Erstad’s 2017 team captured the Big Ten regular-season title and he was named Big Ten Coach of the Year for his leadership. Four of his eight teams finished second or better in the conference, and his teams reached the Big Ten tournament championship game in 2013, 2014 and 2019. Nebraska qualified for NCAA Regional play in 2014, 2016, 2017 and 2019.
The Jamestown, N.D., native is one of the top players in Nebraska baseball history. A two-sport star at Nebraska, Erstad was a first-team All-American and Big Eight Co-Player of the Year in 1995. In addition, Erstad was a two-time academic all-conference pick, and was the starting punter on Nebraska’s 1994 national championship football team. He was inducted into the Nebraska Athletics Hall of Fame in September of 2018.
The No. 1 overall pick in the 1995 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft, Erstad spent the majority of his career playing for the Angels, where he won three Gold Gloves (2000-02-04) and was selected for the American League All-Star team in 1998 and 2000. He was part of the Angels 2002 World Series Champion team.
