Looks like we are now all alone at the top of the Conference!

[crymsonsteel]

Just keep winning baby! and Kendall Rogers and company can screw off still thinking Maryland is gonna win the conference and get the automatic bid to the regionals! GBR!!

You may want to check again. Maryland is still in 1st place.

 

[RealHusker]

Yeah - Maryland still leads by half a game. I think the point is that NU essentially controls their own destiny now, though.

 

[bigboxes]

I'm sorry. How are we alone at the top of the B1G in baseball?

Maryland is 14-6 in B1G, NU is 11-5-1. Maryland is still in 1st.

 

[Bugeater]

It will all sort itself out. Good job by Erstad and the team, early on in the season it was looking rough, hopefully they can finish strong.

 

[jedimasterjed]

How do you figure by half a game and we control our own destiny. No Maryland controls their own destiny. We have to pray for Maryand to drop a couple games at least and we dont drop anymore.

We would win the title by a half game if the huskers win out. They have 6 losses to Nebraska 5.5

 

[donahues17]

Didnt mean to delete that. Yes that could happen. I sure hope it happens as that tie will hell us. But i really dont want to see us going into the conf tourney on a huge winning streak. One game at a time.

We have 5 losses and they have 6 in the conference and a tie is not a win or a loss plus we took the series from them. Nuff said

Maryland's loss today definitely makes things more interesting. Terps are 18-1 at home and tomorrow is their last road game, so it would be nice if Illinois could take them down again.

 

[Kleitusbpn]

You don't assume wins in baseball.

Maryland is in first.

We control our destiny.

Maryland is 14-6 in B1G, NU is 11-5-1. Maryland is still in 1st.

God that damn tie looks ugly.

Actually, there is more to be said. Maryland is 14-6. NU is 11-5-1. That puts Maryland a full game ahead of NU right now. However, NU has 7 conference games left, Maryland 4. If both teams win out, NU would be 18-5-1, Maryland would be 18-6. NU would win the title in that scenario. If the season ended today, Maryland would be league champion.

 

[schuele]

Winning out with seven games to play would usually seem like a pipe dream. But Michigan State is not that good and Penn State is dreadful. Could happen.

 

[Truehuskerfan]

If Maryland were to lose tomorrow and we win, we will be in first place by percentage points.

God that damn tie looks ugly.

Baseball players shouldn't wear ties.

 

[crymsonsteel]

God that damn tie looks ugly.

That tie was a result of running out of time in that Sunday game against Indiana. Time constraint is the only thing that saved them from being swept

 

[donahues17]

I understand what you guys are saying about the loss column puts us in first. If for some reasin tye rest of the conf season was cancelled today, Maryland would take first place. Therefore they are in first place. Maryland has 4 more chances to win or (hopefully lose) and we have 7 more chances to do the same. They have the upper hand.
