I’ve gone back and forth on this. Sure, when they ten run Iowa in an elimination game, it’s sucks. But I, like you, want the tournament to remain in Omaha. That to me says they want Nebraska to make it.
Nobody wants to see Nebraska in anything.

Their state can lend us their facilities though.... ;)

Iowa might get mercy ruled in this one. Wind is blowing out so anything can happen.

So many times . . . a team that goes off in the first game of a DH will go stone cold in game #2. Going to need Langenberg to shake off his funk and pitch a strong game.
 
Iowa is 9-2 over their last 11 games.

Our RPI, however, is heading in the wrong direction.

#75 RPI: Entering Fri Apr 22 game at Rutgers
#63 RPI: Entering Sat Apr 23 game at RU
#55 RPI: Entering Sun Apr 24 game at RU
#60 RPI: Fri morning, Apr 29, prior to game at Neb
#64 RPI: Sun morning, May 1, prior to DH at Neb
#69 RPI: Sun afternoon, May 1, prior to game 3 at Neb
 
Nebby's Emmett Olson pitched a gem. 7.0 IP, 4 Hits, 1 Run, 7 K

RHP Koty Frank (3-0, 3.95 ERA) will pitch the next game for Nebraska. He will face Iowa's RHP Ty Langenberg (4-1, 3.89 ERA).
