This episode of Husker Heat covered Nebraska softball’s journey to the Baton Rouge regional, their recent Big Ten Tournament performance, and the challenges ahead.
Host Andy Ketterson, joined by his daughter Miley—who just got engaged—discussed Nebraska’s strong season (39–13), including their dominant win over Penn State and a tough loss to UCLA.
The team, led by ace pitcher Jordy Bahl, faces a double-elimination regional with LSU, UConn, and Southeast Louisiana. The discussion emphasized Nebraska’s reliance on Bahl, concerns about backup pitching depth, and strategic decisions coach Rhonda Revelle must make.
The hosts recapped the selection show experience, praising the transparency of the committee and comparing it favorably to the College Football Playoff’s chaotic history. He also analyzed RPI data, quadrant records, and strength of schedule to show Nebraska’s fair placement.
Off the field, the show featured humor, food talk, and shoutouts to standout players like Hannah Camenzind. The episode wrapped with travel plans, Baton Rouge dining recommendations, and friendly banter. With postseason hopes hinging on smart rotation and timely hitting, Nebraska looks to break a streak and advance beyond regionals for the first time in years.
GBR—and maybe GEAUX Big Red this time.
