How to Watch No. 1 Nebraska Softball vs Texas at the WCWS with Preview, Breakdown, TV Channel

The Nebraska Cornhuskers are on the brink of elimination after losing to Alabama 5-1 on Saturday night.

The loss sets up a win-or-go-home contest against Texas at 2 p.m. CT on ABC. Nebraska will be the visiting team.

To be honest, the Huskers did not look good against the Crimson Tide. It was an uncharacteristic game as they committed two errors and threw the ball around quite a bit.

"I hope they all popped up and popped out," Revelle said with a smile. "We were the Bad News Bears there for a minute, God bless us. Ava had a true error, but a lot of it was on miss-hit kind of stuff that we just let the game speed us up.

"I don't have an answer for that. It's a one-off. That's not who we are. Like I said, I hope they pop up and pop out."

Outlook

Yesterday wasn't pretty for Nebraska and the Huskers need to have a short-term memory on Sunday.

The season is on the line and with 12 seniors, the Huskers are going to give everything they have left in the tank.

it should be a close game but I'm not sure who is going to win. My heart says Nebraska but my gut says Texas.
