Appreciate the updates Saluno. Think we are the only Big Ten school that has a message board with a thread on every Big Ten Tourney Baseball game? Smokin

That's one thing I don't agree with on how the Big Ten does the tourney. You have all season to fight for your seeding. The higher seed should always be home team in my opinion.


Wait till tomorrow when Iowa's the home team.. Talk about something to bitch about.;)

I don't mind it, seeding gives you matchups and home/away in the first round, beyond that treat everyone as a tournament participant just the same. Plus seeding is the tiebreaker when two teams have played the same number of games as the home team.

I mean it isn't something that should make or break a game but still feel it adds that advantage and feel the higher seed earned it over the course of a season. Since we score at least 15 runs a game minimum now it shouldn't matter. :cool:
