The Nebraska baseball team entered Saturday afternoon facing elimination in the NCAA Regional. The Huskers clashed against Niagara in Saturday’s showdown and, following a rough start, bounced back to survive, winning 7-5.

The Purple Eagles took off in the first inning, scoring three runs off the opening five pitches before earning another run in the second. But Nebraska responded, outscoring Niagara 7-1 through the following five innings. Mason McConnaughey earned the win on the mound, throwing for 6.0 innings and facing 28 batters.

McConnaughey coughed up five hits and five runs but delivered 10 strikeouts on the day. Jalen Worthley pitched the final three innings and earned the save. Worthley stood against 11 batters and allowed two hits while throwing two strikeouts.

Nebraska delivered eight hits and earned six RBIs and three home runs. Gabe Swansen and Case Sanderson led the way for the Huskers in the batter’s box. Swansen slammed two solo home runs on the afternoon, bringing him up to six total home runs in the postseason. Sanderson drove in four RBIs, the majority coming off a three-run home run in the third.

The Huskers earned their 40th win of the season, their first 40-win season since 2014. Nebraska moves on to the second elimination game and will await the loser between Florida and Oklahoma State on Sunday.

Instant Analysis: LSU rolls to sixth-straight win in Cayman Islands opener vs. Niagara

The Tigers began their run in the Cayman Islands Classic on a high note.

LSU’s women’s basketball team started its run at the Cayman Islands Classic, winning its sixth game in a row as it took down Niagara 99-65 in the opener. Next up will be a matchup against Virginia on Saturday as the team closes out its two-game run.

Even without [autotag]Angel Reese[/autotag] and [autotag]Kateri Poole[/autotag], who didn’t make the trip to the Cayman Islands, LSU shot nearly 60% as a team with [autotag]Aneesah Morrow[/autotag] leading the way with a game-high 28 points. [autotag]Hailey Van Lith[/autotag] (20), [autotag]Mikaylah Williams[/autotag] (19) and [autotag]Flau’Jae Johnson[/autotag] (14) all scored in double figures.

The Purple Eagles turned the ball over 30 times to LSU’s 21, and the Tigers led by as much as 42 in the game.

It was a dominating performance, and it’s one Kim Mulkey’s team will look to replicate when it takes on an ACC opponent Saturday.

How to watch LSU women’s basketball’s Cayman Islands Classic opener against Niagara

The Tigers will look to extend their five-game winning streak in the Cayman Islands.

Fresh off a win over Texas Southern to move to 5-1 on the season, the No. 7 LSU women’s basketball team is leaving the country to take part in the Cayman Islands Classic this weekend, in which it will face Niagara on Friday and Virginia on Saturday.

First up is the 2-2 Purple Eagles, which come in off a win against Stonehill. They’re 2-2 overall on the season having taken losses to Duquesne and Buffalo. The matchup against the Tigers will be their first against a power conference opponent this season.

As coach Kim Mulkey’s team looks to extend its five-game winning streak, here’s what you need to know to watch the Tigers’ first game in the islands.

Ohio State basketball vs. Niagara: How and where to watch and listen to the game Friday

Ohio State basketball takes on the Niagara Purple Eagles in the second game of the season.

When a team loses experience and scoring power in the backcourt as Ohio State did this off-season with the departures of Duane Washington Jr and C.J. Walker, some growing pains can be expected. The No. 17 Buckeyes experienced just that as they eeked out a win over Akron on Tuesday evening on a last-second bucket.  Chris Holtmann’s squad should have an easier go of it when they host Niagara Friday night at the Schott.

Malaki Branham looks like a star in the making. Holtmann showed trust in the true freshman who didn’t start the game but had the ball in his hands in the final seconds before finding an open Zed Key for the game-winner. I mean, if you’re going to ask to wear Jimmy Jackson’s No. 22 after it’s been hanging in the rafters for the past 20 years… well, let’s just say, the kid believes in himself. And that’s a good thing.

On to the Purple Eagles for a Friday night tilt.
