Wow. Made us sweat that one out. Big win. Huge hit out of schlep

 

[Truehuskerfan]

Nice to see us finally get some big hits. Certainly didn't look good to start. Doesn't mean that much for our RPI, but we needed to get back on the winning track-and sweeping Creighton is certainly always fun.

Whew! Man, that feels so goooooooooooooooood! [happydance]

Great to get some clutch hitting and a W. 12-1 midweek this season. That's TCB.

One big bright spot this year. And the one loss was to Cal State Fullerton. Don't remember a year when we've done so well in midweek games.

Actually, our RPI is up to 13. I was shocked when I saw the jump myself. My guess is a few big teams lost to some bad teams in a midweek game but I haven't looked yet.

14 of the top 25 played today, five lost.

We got a huge SOS bump today. 12 of our past opponents played and just 2 lost - Creighton and KSU who lost to Minnesota. SOS is half of the RPI, right?
