■ Missouri places Big 12 hopes on pitcher (Columbia Tribune)
The opening game of the Tigers’ series in Lincoln, Neb., was suspended by rain Thursday night, ending the weekend for Missouri pitcher Eric Anderson after just 54 pitches. That will help ease the mind of MU Coach Tim Jamieson.
With Anderson recently joining the rotation after offseason shoulder surgery, the Tigers coach had expressed reservations of shortening the big right-hander’s rest two consecutive weeks. But with last week’s abbreviated session, there will be no concerns as Anderson is expected to take the mound tomorrow in the opening round of the Big 12 Tournament.

With one less team in the league for baseball next year, the format for the Big 12 Baseball Tournament could be further tweaked in the offseason.
“We’ll take a look at things and see if there’s a bracket that would allow us to have all nine teams to play in the tournament,” Big 12 Associate Commissioner Bob Burda said Tuesday.

Missouri coach Tim Jamieson asked for some mercy from the conference’s other coaches at Tuesday’s media luncheon in Bricktown.
“I truly believe there’s only one team here that has to win the tournament to get into a regional,” Jamieson said. “And that’s us.”
“So Steve, Augie and Frank, keep that in mind this week.”
