Big Ten Tournament - First Round Matchups

[saluno22]

Iowa and Maryland will be in the 4/5 game. The standings on the Big Ten website show Iowa ahead of Maryland. They did not play each other, and Maryland had a better record (12-6) against common opponents than Iowa (11-7). According to the baseball tiebreaker procedures, Maryland should be the #4 seed:

Glad they aren't doing 4 hours between games anymore, those are brutally long wait times.

Edit: Michigan won 2-1 in 10 at Michigan State to earn the #2 seed. Minnesota will be the #3 seed. Indiana defeated Ohio State 4-3 to end the Big Ten regular season.

Thanks, caused me pause to go look at the actual game times, I was just assuming they would be the same as they've always been since they expanded to 8 teams.

Just thought I'd come out from my college baseball command center...
some may call it, my parent's basement with Wi-Fi

I said I wanted a B1G Title
Thank You
But there is still work to do.
Go Red!!!

If the second game let's say for sake of argument lasts 3 hours. The Nebraska game wouldn't start till 5:10pm central.

Yep. Still beats having a game last 2:30 and having to wait another 1:30 for the next one to start if you're taking the tournament in in person.

Well it did give you time to get a beer and something to eat at one of the local establishments close by TDA.

One good thing is the night cap gets started at a reasonable hour and you don't have to be a night owl and watch the game past Midnight.

So if the Huskers win the first game they would play last Thursday and if they would choke and lose they would play in the 1:30..or 12:30 central.

Very true on both accounts. Games finishing at 1am especially suck (which typically happens on Day 2 as teams empty their bullpens in elimination games).
