Baseball vs. UCSB/WBB March Madness Games Thread

We’ve picked up a hit in the first and second, plus one man reached on an error, but all of it has been with two outs. We’re scoreless going to the bottom of the 2nd.

On top of rye’s updates (which are awesome), there’s also an online radio broadcast at UCSB’s student radio site.

Women’s basketball — Something I’ve noticed the last few days, for those of you who have satellite or digital cable, ESPN has been providing alternate channels for each game. So even if ESPN2/ESPNU doesn’t stick to it, there might be a channel somewhere with the full game live (that’s how I saw Sunday’s game interrupted).

when the base running on a sac bunt by UCSB went haywire and we got 2 outs on 2 pickles. Strange, but outs are outs. To the 3rd we go.

I’ve been at games so I haven’t heard them, but I’m curious how they are this year. I’m pretty sure it’s a new crew from last season. The two doing the UCSB audio are struggling. It doesn’t seem like they did much preparation.

The positive: We’ve put a runner on in each inning and a runner in scoring position twice.

The negative: We haven’t been able to cash it in and even get a runner to third, let alone score.

Maybe this can get us on the scoreboard.

Blair Dunlap roped a triple to left, but Trevor Brown was thrown out at the plate on what the announcers are calling a great throw. Still 3-0, but we have a runner at 3rd with 2 out in the 4th.

Claypool in complete command with eight strikeouts as we head to the 6th.

Dunlap singled and Rahmatulla doubled to put runners on 2nd and 3rd and a groundout by Espy scored Dunlap to make it 6-0. Keefer walked and stole 2nd so we have runners at 2nd and 3rd again, now with 2 out.

Just fanshotted it here.

A lead off double, passed ball and ground out makes it a 6-1 ballgame. We’re heading to the 8th inning.

Tyler Rahmatulla doubled in the 8th and Cody Keefer singled to drive him in.

Erik Goeddel is in to replace Garett Claypool to start the 8th. Claypool’s final line: 7 IP, 1 run, 3 hits, 10 strikeouts.

The Bruins are 7-1 winners and 17-0.

Are you at the game?

The game will be shown on ESPN2 in UCLA’s region (I assume that means west coast, but I don’t know how far from LA that extends and I would assume that it’s on ESPN2 in the midwest for the Nebraska region), but only on the standard definition channel. The high definition channel will have a different game. No matter where you are, the game is on ESPNU.

If your ISP carries it

Coach Cauldwell is AWESOME!!! GO BRUINS!!!

by the Bruins!!! And its 2-0 UCLA!

Up 5-0.

Campbell!

5-0 UCLA! Keep this up ladies!

Campbell!

7-0!

Pauley North!

Someone far more creative than me needs to come up with a nickname for Coach Caldwell’s team. Win or lose tonight, you have to love the way this team plays and I’m damn confident that this program is just getting going.

im on a bus now back from nyc to boston (long ass day) and was hoping to use the wifi to watch the game but of course thats not happening.

fantastic inside pass…11-1

because I just noticed that the shot clock is only 30. Any idea why it differs from the men?

Freaking ESPN just cut away from our game to Oklahoma game. Aaaaaaaagh.

How can they leave this game!? F. ESPNU should have it…

for a feed

Markel Walker reminds me of the women’s team’s TH. She brings a little bit of everything to the table as a freshman.

The net doesn’t move a lick on some of these makes

Someone busted her tail down court even though she was never going to make a play on the ball and I think her pressure from behind made the Neb. player miss the layup.

D is keeping us in.

can get us so excited, but that’s what our men’s team did to us and CNC’s team plays the right way.

That rip looked clean.

if we play our game

and the charge gets called all the time.

We started 7-10 from the field, but are 0-7 since.

Gotta shut down on D again…take the wind from their sails

CNC calls timeout.

CNC calls timeout.

WTF?

Come on!

Could use an extra player on the court.

got the lead back

The entire world of men’s basketball from 12 years old to pros should take notes.

Post that on the wall!

+5…nice run there, ladies

but we’re definately winning the boards at both ends. Our points are coming on second and third efforts.

Neb makes second of two, 23-19

23-21

3 Seconds….

Huskers are on fire again…tightening up inside D

24-23 4:30

Campbell hits 2 at the line

Just got cut away from play with a commercial about great customer service. Riiight.

I know Walker is out because of 2 fouls

Gotta get back to what they were doing the first 10 minutes of the game.

Not good. NU in double bonus now. Hit both FT, NU up 29-25 now.

we have had 2 FT attempts and they have had 14.

the press is not fazing NU. Don’t know if it’s to just burn clock or tocrete TO’s.

Yikes…..another TO by us.

NU just got a AND1 and now up 32 – 25

we’re really playing sloppy ball

this blows. :(

3…now 35-25

Boost spirits? They are loud though. Way louder than NU fans who outnumber us.

then they beat the press for the easy shot.

Might be time to keep it outside and spread their D.

that is why we’re down now. Yikes

it’s mostly us not executing, not that NE is beating us. We’re beating us…

And 1 for UCLA

Layup and going to line for the throw

Gotta knock down the free throw and lock down on D.

WHOO HOOOOOO! 30-35!

NU only up 35-30 now. Good push at the end to get the game close.

An and one, knock down the free throw, force a TO and knock down a jumper. Gigantic. 35-30 at half.

With a large stick? Repeatedly?

Who are our studs?

hopefully we’ll be able to cover Neb like a wet blanket.

Okay, I’m dreaming here, but you can enter the lottery for no money to reserve tickets for the west regionals in Anaheim.

Here’s the link: http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/09004427C25E78DE?artistid=1239566&majorcatid=10004&minorcatid=7

at the line for 2

They just switched to Green Bay/Iowa St. game here in DC. Grrrrr.

NU with another 3, now up 49-34. Then a charge on Morris. Make that 16 to’s.

Strange, I recognize one of the refs. You wouldn’t think they’d allow that. But maybe there are so few decent refs.

oh my :(

or are they letting the players do anything they want on the bodies, but everything on the arms and hands is always a foul? Is it usually called like this?

Let’s hope they’ll protect the ball better in the last 8 minutes and make it a game.

what’s with this huge difference in fouls??

They have been great to watch and root for. This is the first year I watched more than a game. And it’s not due to the men’s teams issues. They are wonderful to watch.
