May 8, 2012 By

With a pair of wins over the Creighton Bluejays this season, the Nebraska baseball team (29-18, 9-9 Big Ten) looks to sweep the season series with the Jays on Tuesday night at TD Ameritrade Park when the two teams meet at 7 p.m. The last time the Huskers swept the Jays was during the 2008 season.

The Huskers are coming off a double-header loss to the Indiana Hoosiers, after beating IU, 13-2, in the series opener in Bloomington. Creighton was also on the road this past weekend and lost its opening game at Bradley, but then bounced back to take the series with wins in games two and three.

Nebraska is scheduled to start junior right-hander Tom Lemke on Tuesday night, while Creighton will through junior lefty Ty Blach, who also started the first two games of the season series this year.

Three NU games chosen for prime time

April 24, 2012 By

 

The Big Ten Conference and ABC/ESPN have announced that three 2012 Nebraska football games have been selected for prime-time telecasts.

Nebraska home games at Memorial Stadium against Wisconsin on Sept. 29 and Michiganon Oct. 27, and its road game at Ohio Stateon Oct. 6 will all kick off at 7 p.m. CT. All three of the games will be shown on ABC, ESPN or ESPN2, with the network designation to be made at a later date.

The three Nebraska games are part of 14 Big Ten games selected for prime-time telecasts on either ABC, ESPN, ESPN 2 or BTN during the 2012 season. The games announced on Tuesday are the only Big Ten Conference home games that will be played in prime time during the 2012 season. No additional night games will be added at a later date.

The Big Ten Conference will also announce television information and kickoff times for the first three weeks of the season (Sept. 1, 8 and 15) no later than July 1.

Nebraska’s Sept. 8 game at UCLA will be part of the Pac-12 Conference television package, and could still be selected for a night telecast. An announcement on that game is expected by early June.

Nebraska also played three night games in its first season in the Big Ten Conference in 2011. The Huskers’ games with Wisconsin and Ohio State were also played in prime time last season, as was Nebraska’s non-conference home game with Fresno State.

The two night games at Memorial Stadium in 2012 will mark the seventh straight season Nebraska has played two or more prime-time games in Lincoln. Nebraska is 35-5 all-time in night games at Memorial Stadium and has won its last nine prime-time games in Lincoln.
