The Big Ten has come out with the bracket for this week’s baseball tournament in Columbus. Don’t bother looking for Illinois. They haven’t changed their mind.
“Ohio State earned the No. 6 seed, finishing 11-13 in Big Ten play. The Buckeyes finished tied in the standings with Illinois and Minnesota, but claimed the tiebreaker by virtue of their record against the three teams’ common opponents. Ohio State will make its 25th tournament appearance, which is second among all Big Ten teams, and its second in a row. The Buckeyes have won eight conference tournaments, which is tied for second among all Big Ten teams.”
Tournament Central is the place to go to get any information the regarding Big Ten Baseball Tournament.
I feel bad for you guys Thomas. You guys beat us 2/3 @ your place i don’t get how that isn’t the 2nd tie breaker. I guess rules are rules. Im a huge Buckeye fan obviously but im not proud my team got swept vs IU & still made the Tourney.
hey Andrew!
it always seems these B10 races end up SO close!
Glad you get to go to games and see your team, though. Good luck this week!!

The BIG added Nebraska to the conference, but it doesn’t appear the playoff schedule was changed to add another team. Perhaps that’s something else the coaches could consider, esp. if the conference continues to expand.
It would be interesting if they could figure out how to schedule mini-tourneys to be played over the weekends during the season that include 3 (or 4) BIG teams so that every team could face every other team in the BIG. I know each school wants to host as often as they can for their fans, so it might not be feasible.
