The Huskers head into today's game down 2-1 in the series and really needing a win. 2-2 sounds a whole helluva lot better than 1-3.

Projected Starting Pitchers

Mon., March 12 - 12:05 p.m.

Jr. Tyler Niederklein (RHP, 1-1) vs. Cal - So. Mike Theofanopoulos (LHP, 0-1)

Theofanopoulos has pitched 17.1 innings so far this season, having given up 11 hits and 9 runs, 6 of them earned. You'd think that the Husker bats would do well today, but with this team who knows what we're getting from game to game.

Also - SB Nation has your printable NCAA Men's basketball tournament brackets. I would like to hear how many of you will be following the tourney despite Nebraska's miserable season.

Tonight! is the women's NCAA tournament selection show, so we'll find out who our Husker women will be playing.

Consider this your open thread for baseball and the women's selection show (unless I happen to get ambitious and post a separate one for basketball).
