Interesting finish as a bunch of teams at the top all play each other and the bottom mostly play each other.
Officially eliminated from B1G tournament play is Northwestern. They started really well and fell off a cliff.
Rutgers must sweep to make the B1G tournament. 2/4 wins for them are against us. Wahh wahhh. Wasted opportunity.
Maryland and Iowa have the least chances to move up as each had just 1 remaining series.
Our series this weekend is HUGE. That didn’t appear like it’d be the case 2-3 weeks ago, but Indiana turned it on going 7-2 in their last three B1G series. They started off 5-3 in B1G play.
Would greatly benefit us for Illinois and Purdue to lose 1-2 this weekend. Purdue is most likely to sweep. Iowa will be throwing everything they got to try and cement their B1G tournament spot against Illinois.
That last weekend could be big with a chance at a sweep for us AND Purdue and Illinois likely beating up on each other.
