Big XII Baseball Tourney

[Pitt Gorilla]

Anyone else keeping up with the action?

[frazod]

No.

But hopefully Missouri doesn't suck as much in baseball as they do in football and basketball. :shake:

[Skip Towne]

I'm a big Baylor fan. Go Bears!!

Nebraska had a setback last night when they dropped one to Texas Tech but rebounded nicely today against Oklahoma and knocked the Sooners out. They play the loser of Missouri/Baylor tomorrow. Nebraska has already locked up a regional so it's not do or die for them in the Big 12 tourney like it is for teams like Missouri and Oklahoma St. and Oklahoma. Baylor I'm sure will be in a regional as well. So will Texas.

Was Missouri playing Texas Tech today or did they play Baylor and who won? I know Nebraska plays the loser of the Missouri game today.

I was listening to the radio this morning and they were talking about the conference tourneys around the country. 6 #1 seeds were beaten yesterday with Nebraska being one of course. Miami lost again today and they are done. But I believe they will be in a regional as well. I'm just waiting to see just how good teams like Tulane and Oregon St. are or do they just have great records because they play creampuff schedules? Nebraska is there because they are deep in pitching. Ranked #2 in ERA in the country with 2.78 runs per game. Bullpen is very deep.

"Hook - EM" Horns!

MU wins again 10-1 over Tech. On to the semis!

Shaping up to be a Baylor vs Missouri final on Sunday.

Nebraska will be there. Course they gotta win tonight against Tech. They play at 6 this evening. :)

[alanm]

Nebraska gets by Texas Tech today 2-1. Nebraska's freshman Johnny Dorn pitches a 5 hitter and lowers his ERA to 1.86 and is now 10-1. An ERA of 1.86 is incredible considering the use of aluminium bats.
They play Mizzou today at 1pm. Missouri only has to beat Nebraska once to get to the Championship game. Nebraska has to win twice over Missouri in order to play Sunday. The Huskers have had to win twice more than a few times on Saturdays in the past few years and they seem to play well when the pressure is on.
I believe it's on TV on Fox SN. Seeing as how I get Fox sports Rocky Mnts.and not Midwest I'll probably get hosed as far as getting to watch the game. Colorado doesn't have a ball team in the Big 12 and they usually elect to show something else. LIKE SOME STUPID ASS REPORT ABOUT THE DENVER BRONCO'S!! :cuss: :banghead: :cuss: That or poker. Anyway the game is on at 1pm.

Go Big Red!! :)

So Nebraska used their best pitcher last night? Who are they going to throw at the Tigers today then? I have a feeling that the Tigers can win at least one out of the two.

Oregon State is in the baseball deep Pac-10. It's probably the second best baseball conference in the country. It's far from a "creampuff" schedule.

Dorn's not their best pitcher. That would be Joba Chamberlain. Zach Kroneke is going for the Huskers today. He's 7-2 with a 2.84 ERA. Huskers are so deep at pitching there's not much dropoff whoever they have out there. Then the bullpen is unreal.
So far it's 1-1 at the top of the 3rd.

Zona and USC are both having kinda off years. So the Pac-10 is kinda down this year. I haven't seen Oregon State so I really don't know much about them. But to be 41-9 they've had to have a helluva year.

[alanm]

Nebraska/Missouri tied up 2-2 going into the top of the 4th.

[eazyb81]

Mizzou up 3-2 in the 6th inning.

Is this the 1st game or the 2nd game?

[alanm]

It's the 1st game. It's tied up 4-4 bottom of the 9th with no outs and Nebraska has a man on 2nd with 1 out.

[alanm]

Mizzou serves up a passed ball and intentionally walks a guy. Men on 1st and 3rd one out. :)

[alanm]

NEBRASKA WINS 5-4!!!! They play again later this evening. :clap: :clap: :clap:

[alanm]

2nd game starts at 6:30 CDT. on FoxSN.
GO BIG RED!!!

[Skip Towne]

How are my Baylor Bears doing?

[alanm]

How are my Baylor Bears doing?
Baylor won today and they play the winner of Nebraska/Missou game that just started tomorrow for the Tourney Championship.
F*CK. I KNEW IT!! F*cking Fox Rocky Mountain is showing something on Surfing. GAWD I hate Fox Sports Rocky Mnts!!! :cuss: :banghead: :cuss: :banghead: :mad:

[alanm]

2-0 Top of the 1st Nebraska ahead with no outs!! :clap: :clap: :clap:

[alanm]

Nebraska has already chased Missouri's starter. It's still the top of the 1st 3-0 Nebraska with 2 men on and 1 out.

[alanm]

8-4 Nebraska going into the top of the 6th.

[alanm]

Final Score... Nebraska pounds out a 17-9 win over Missouri and sweeps 2 games today to advance to the Big 12 Tourney Championship tomorrow against Baylor. :clap: :clap: :clap:

[alanm]

Nebraska and Baylor at 1pm CDT for the automatic bid to a regional. Nebraska already has a bid locked up for winning the Big 12 reg season. Baylor in all likelyhood has one locked up anyway. So what are we playing for today?
Oh... I guess some sort of bragging rights. :)

Is it televised?

Is it televised?
Yes, it's on the Fox sports network.

Brian Duensing pitches a 3 hit shutout as Nebraska beats Baylor 1-0 and wins the Big 12 Tournament. On to regionals now!! :clap: :clap: :clap:

[KChiefs1]

Congrats to Nebraska! When will you find out about the regionals?

I heard by way of the Nebraska radio team that was doing the game today that the seedings are on espn2 tomorrow morning. I think they said 10:30 am CDT.

Cool, I have heard nothing about the Cats, how did they do in the Big 12 tourney?

[Saulbadguy]

They erm..chose not to participate.

[HemiEd]

They erm..chose not to participate.

I would take that as: they did not qualify?

[Saulbadguy]

You would be correct. Heh.
