Texas Tech has been searching through many options to replace their weekend series with Northern Illinois, which was canceled on the heels of last week's tragedy in DeKalb. Tech was scheduled to play a 4 game series against the Huskies until the NIU administration called off all sporting events until Monday.
So far, the options have ranged from getting NIU down here for a 3 game series on Monday and Tuesday, to heading to a tournament at UTSA or UT-PB.
Losing 4 games could come back to haunt Tech come NCAA Tournament Selection time. It also changes the 5-game warmup before the Minute Maid Classic to as small as a 1-game warmup against New Mexico next Thursday.
If Tech is able to schedule NIU for a Monday-Tuesday series (2 games on Monday, 1 on Tuesday), it would mean that the Red Raiders' pitching staff would have to find a way to cope with 9 games in a 10 day period.
