[Husker] Big 12 Baseball Tournament

[jon johnston]

They played themselves out of it last weekend. Actually, I'll put up  
an article tomorrow explaining that the Big 12's national seed will go  
to whomever wins the conference. Granted it could be an underdog  
playing out of their heads, but it's most likely going to be A&M,  
Nebraska or Oklahoma State. Maybe Missouri.

The Big 12 turned into the conference everyone thought it would be -  
all mushed together at the top. There was no clear-cut winner.

The Aggies only won the conference by a single game, they're on a six- 
game losing streak, so you can't give it to them. Oklahoma State took  
head to head series against Nebraska, Texas A&M, Missouri and Texas.  
If anyone deserves it, they do, but they have the problem with losing  
series against Baylor and Kansas State.

Last weekend the Huskers put their deficiencies on display. Their  
pitching has played well, but they're young. They don't have enough  
offense to get a long ways in the NCAA tourney unless they continue to  
overachieve. The NCAA is not going to give a national seed to a team  
that finished third in it's conference unless we win the Big 12 tourney.

Missouri... .they completely underachieved this season, but lost  
series to Oklahoma State and got swept by Texas A&M.

One of those four teams will get a national seed.

If you asked me to bet on a team that wins the Big 12 tourney, I'd say  
it'd be Oklahoma State. Their offense is very good, and their pitching  
good enough.
