Not a clue.  My guess is that we'll find out pretty quick. 
If NU can hit him at all, then there's a chance.  But
adrenaline and pain killers can do a lot.  I'm not sure
who's in line after McCormick if he gets into trouble, but
Baylor's only played 3 games.

Still don't know who NU might start.  All of the regular
weekend and midweek starters have been used.  Duensing would
be the freshest of the bunch.  Dustin Timm is the only other
reliever with many innings besides Bohanan who has been used
a couple of times already.  Luke Wertz started one of the
last midweek games, but hardly any experience.  Since there
are 4 days before the regional, most will be "available" if
necessary.

Side note - I think NU deserves a top 8 national seed by
being Big 12 co-champion and at least Big 12 runner-up in
the tournament.  And one could justify 3 top 8 seeds with
Texas, Baylor and NU for the Big 12.  But I think one might
get left out and my own feeling is that if NU doesn't win
today, it will be them.  Unfortunately, RPI's often carry
too much weight and NU's is high teens to low 20's win or
lose today.
