Looks like the Texas Tech game today is on espn +.  I don’t see a tv listing on my hulu for the UIC game.  Hope to catch some of the Tech game this afternoon.  Good barometer game.

We're now on a 2-game losing streak after a 7-2 loss to Texas Tech today managing just 6 hits off the same pitcher who 1-hit us yesterday.  We held a 1-0 lead after 4 and then TT exploded for 7 runs in its 5th and it was game over.  Reyes started and went 4 innings with Hess and Berry finishing up.

Next weekend we're at Clemson for 4-games in the Clemson Invitational.

We learned this is not a top-10 team in the last two games but we already knew that. Just keep beating the teams at your level and below as they have so far and team will cruise into a third straight NCAA Tourney.
