But set aside the dramatic final weekend for a minute. Look, instead, at where Husker baseball stands over the last five years of Big 12 play. This is neither a random, small snapshot nor a three-year look that some would call unfair because it only captures head coach Mike Anderson’s three worst seasons. This five-year measurement encompasses more than an entire recruiting class, and gives each Big 12 program ample time to right the ship.
Big 12 records since 2007:
Texas 94-37-1
Texas A&M 78-52-1
Missouri 70-60
Oklahoma 65-62-1
Oklahoma State 64-64
Kansas State 58-69-1
Baylor 56-73
Nebraska 56-74-1
Kansas 53-77-1
Texas Tech 52-79
The Huskers are No. 8 in the league. Just barely qualifying for the five-year Big 12 Tournament. Nearly 40 games behind old nemesis Texas. More than 20 behind A&M. That’s how much the gap has widened.
