[Husker] Baseball seedings

[jschlechte at mobil1.net]

The seedings for the tournament are set and the schedule for
the first day of games is as follows:

Game 1: #3 Texas v. #6 Oklahoma State, 10 a.m.
Game 2: #2 Baylor vs. #7 Kansas, 1 p.m.
Game 3: #4 Missouri vs. #5 Oklahoma, 5 p.m.
Game 4: #1 Nebraska vs. #8 Texas Tech, 8 p.m.

However, anyone expecting NU and TT to start playing at 8
should look at past history.  Tournament games rarely go at
a fast pace unless the pitching is dominant.  Everything
seems to slow down - ie playoff pace.

The most interesting stories now will be who takes the mound
in the first game.  You don't want to lose the first game
and end up in the loser's bracket, but at the same time do
you throw your Friday starter, in NU's case Joba, on short
rest?

With Mizzou being the number 4 seed, I don't know if they'll
send Scherzer to mound on Wednesday or not.  He had an off
night against Baylor in the first game of that series and
might be ready to go.
