Nebraska vs Grand Canyon, Bowlin, Sunday, 5/17/26; NCAA Tournament Regional Finals
- Thread starter weaver75
- Start date
Looks like the cowgirls will be going to Lincoln. Opposition pitching has been noticeably more effective in postseason vs conference play. Jordy & Lex may have to continue pitching near shutout quality.
For the 3 game regional Jordy pitched 11 innings giving up 1 hit, striking out 24.
I really enjoyed the regional. Hopefully they can ramp it up in the Super Regional and do something really special.
But it’s worth noting that after the apparent seeding snub, the Big 10 underperformed its seeding pretty much across the board. Nebraska’s offense didn’t show up, and they won a couple pitcher’s duels.
But Oregon is out early. Washington lost to a lower seed twice. Wisconsin got knocked out by a lower seed. Indiana played well and lost. Michigan outperformed their seeding a bit and made it to the regional championship where they lost to the top seed.
I’ll root just as hard, but I think the ladies’ National ranking is probably inflated a bit and the seeding was fair. I hope they don’t think so, and they have a fire in them about it. I hope they were just jittery and over swinging, and the bats wake up against OSU. Either way it’s been a great season. I hope they have about 6 or 7 more wins in them.

Yeah the Big 10 didn't do real well. I'm guessing UCLA should win their regional, they were ahead when I shut it off to pay attention to the weather. I don't know all the details but I thought I heard Oregon lost their star pitcher for the regional with an eye infection.

Random thoughts: when 13 of 16 seeds advanced, and the three that didn’t were one each from the SEC, ACC, and Big Ten, I am not sure any conference underperformed. Maybe the ACC, with only one team in the super regionals.
The Big 12 over performed with 4 teams advancing, including 2 unseeded teams.
The 2 and 3 seeds were pretty even in most regionals.
9 SEC, 4 Big 12, 2 Big Ten, and 1 ACC teams advance. 4 non P4 conference teams made it to Sunday, but none advanced.

If you look at the games the Big 10 teams played rather than the team that came out, the Big 10 underperformed. The top seeds winning the regional isn’t an interesting story. But the 2nd seed getting knocked out by a lower seed and never even making it to the regional championship matchup isn’t irrelevant. The majority of the Big 10 teams underperformed their seed.
