Monday Night Therapy: Breaking Down Husker Baseball’s NCAA Regional Exit

On this episode of Monday Night Therapy, host Minnie Hunt is joined by Jarek Shearer from Corn Nation to discuss Nebraska baseball’s postseason journey—a rollercoaster that, while ending in a 17-1 loss to Oklahoma, still hints at a brighter future.
Despite the rough exit, Nebraska’s Big Ten Championship win and regional berth marked a clear upward trend. Jarek explains the loss came down to early defensive miscues and a thinned-out pitching staff, but even in defeat, the Huskers showed resilience and flashes of potential.
