1-7 in Big 12 play since our freshman ran his mouth and we've been outscored 74-39 in that stretch and lost three straight series.
Poor pitching, untimely hitting, loads of base running mistakes - Pete Hughes baseball is back.
The one slight positive is that, for the most part, we've stopped losing scores of mid-week games, which could be our saving grace for a tourney bid if we can manage to be around .500 in league play.
Up next - a bizarre mid-week trip to UConn on Tuesday and Northeastern on Wednesday. UConn is #81 in RPI and Northeastern is #36 (and has made the NCAA tourney 2 of the last 3 years). So, an opportunity for a pair of decent wins, but then we turnaround and play a top 25 Okie State team at home this weekend on 1 day's rest (if that even counts because it's the travel day on Thursday).
For anyone keeping track, our travel schedule over a stretch of 18 days:
Manhattan (vs. Texas) to Springfield, Mo. (vs. Mo State) to Orlando (vs. UCF) to Manhattan (vs. Wichita St.) to Norman (vs. OU) to Storrs (vs. UConn) to Boston (vs. Northeastern) to Manhattan (vs. Okie State). I sure hope there's some charter flying in there vs. entirely commercial...
