Baseball D1baseball NCAA Tournament predictions

Nebraska is not listed as a team to compete in the 64-team bracket come June. Everything will change once the season gets going, but thought it'd be interesting to share. I guess from a national media perspective there aren't big expectations for the Huskers.

Nebraska has six opponents that are projected to make it to the NCAA Tournament by D1baseball. Here are those opponents with their projected seeds in parentheses.

North Dakota State (No. 3)
San Diego (No. 3)
Maryland (No. 1)
Ole Miss (No. 1)
Vanderbilt (No. 1)
Iowa (No. 3)

Granted, the Huskers will play Vanderbilt and Ole Miss only once. Rutgers is also a Big Ten team projected to make the tournament, but Nebraska avoids them on the schedule.

Basketball WBB FINAL: Minnesota 95, Nebraska 92

The Nebraska women's basketball team is back in action at 7 p.m. when the Huskers (14-11, 6-8) take on the Minnesota Golden Gophers (9-16, 2-12) who are in a year of transition. The Gophers have only won two conference games all season long as they break in a starting lineup that features three freshmen and two sophomores.

Very winnable game for Nebraska who might need to win out from here to have a chance at the tournament. Playing No. 12 Michigan close on Sunday was good, but they need a win tonight plus victories over No. 7 Iowa, Illinois and Northwestern to finish out the season. The Huskers will worry about those teams later, but first is Minnesota, who is 8-3 all-time at home against Nebraska.

Scholarship numbers going up; now going down...

As per another Husker site, we were up 18 ships and now reduced two more by Anthony and Brown seeing different sites. That came quickly and spring practice is weeks away. Who is next?

OT: Experience losing a loved one

Dad passed unexpectedly. 69 years old. Healthy guy who worked out. My parents and my wife’s parents are always at my house with the kids. One day dad came out of our den (where the kids play video games) holding his chest. My mother is a RN and took to his side and I called 911. Wasn’t a heart attack. Still went to ER. He had a dissected aorta and was rushed into emergency surgery. He made it through surgery but never got off breathing machine and his aorta dissected above where they fixed it.

I was the last person to talk with him. He was my best friend.

I took it pretty hard. I lost weight I didn’t need to. I’m 6’ tall and went down to 165lb. I’m usually 175lb. Lost my appetite. Fell into a depression that I’m finally coming out of. I also got sick, either gave myself gastritis or an ulcer, had to take PPIs which are helping but I don’t want to be on any pill.

Funny thing is, it’s been almost a month since he passed and it doesn’t feel real.

I’m doing much better now but that pain of grief and sorrow is very real. Nearly broke me. I’ve never lost someone close. However, my awesome wife and three boys have helped dig me out of the dark place I went to. Each day is getting much better and my overall health has returned.

I guess it’s also nice to hear others stories. It helps to hear you’re not alone when it comes to being nearly crushed from a close one’s death.

My poor dad. Gone too soon. My poor mom misses him so much.

It’s nice to write this down.

Losing someone you care about is very difficult

National Anthem performances....

.....my dad and I used to 'discuss' the WAY the National Anthem should be sung....as you might expect for having been born in 1929, he was totally old school...me, as a child of the 60s/70s, not so much....I know it is at times a very divisive song....wish it represented hope of what we COULD be....

That said, some of my favorites have been unusual in some degree...Jose Feliciano in 1971(almost got me kicked out of my family), Carlos Santana a couple of years ago at a GIANTS game...but I LOVED Stapleton's version last night....

Fire away...(btw...I would prefer America the Beautiful as our song)

Basketball Keisei Tominaga, Nebraska's 2nd-half MVP, sparks comeback win over Wisconsin

Keisei Tominaga has been Nebraska's MVP for the second half of this season. He's been a killer lately, and the lethal lefty was it again on Saturday. His 4-for-4 stretch from three during a five-minute period against Wisconsin was the catalyst for a 20-2 run (including 14 straight points) and a 73-63 OT win over the Badgers – the Huskers' largest comeback win in a decade.

He finished with a game-high 22 points and is averaging 16.9 points per game over the last nine – after averaging just 9.5 ppg over the first 17 games.
