Huge Big Ten series this weekend between Nebraska (21-11-1, 7-2) and Iowa (26-10, 4-5) as the two rivals kick off a three-game series in Iowa City. Despite having a B1G record under .500, the Hawkeyes have the top pitching staff in the conference and have a couple future MLB draft picks just like the Huskers. We were able to hear from a pair of Husker players along with Will Bolt about this weekend series and the status of the team as we head into the gauntlet of league play. Here's the What We Learned from earlier this week:

Tonight it's a premier pitching matchup as LHP Emmett Olson (5-1, 3.35 ERA) takes on flamethrower RHP Brody Brecht (3-2, 3.20 ERA). Super excited to see how this one turns out with two studs on the bump. Brecht is a projected first round pick in the 2024 MLB draft and can touch triple digits with his fastball. Here's the full series preview to get you set:

Lastly, with the spring game in Lincoln tomorrow, I'll be joining the rest of the Inside Nebraska staff at Memorial Stadium for coverage, so no baseball live thread from me tomorrow. I'll be back with my regular coverage on Sunday for the series finale.
