Nebraska 41, UCONN 39

UCONN won opening series against Louisville (neutral site)

Lost to Indiana, beat Illinois, lost @ Virginia, swept by national seed ECU, lost series 1-2 against Sam Houston state

Fun fact, UCONN never swept an opponent and only got swept once in either conference play or noncon (only swept by ECU)

According to Warrn Nolan

I'm not saying our batting couldn't use to be better.  But this is where statistics can be misleading at times.

They are 50 spots better than us in the standings.  Which seems like a lot.  But they are 0.010 better than us as a percentage.  1 hit every 100 at bats.  Or roughly one hit every three games.  That's all but indistinguishable in any given game.

There are simply a lot of teams playing baseball.  And a whole bunch of them are very similar.

Also we've played like 7 or something games less than them.

On one hand, you're likely on the tail end of diminishing returns with those seven games and their impact on stats. 

On the other hand, those games we lost out on were against inferior opponents that we would have likely had a field day with, thus having a significantly larger impact on stats.

New Mexico State has a really potent offense so I would be curious how we would've fared against them. Also sucks we didn't get Baylor at home.
