Big Ten Tournament Preview With Key Stats, Players To Watch As Huskers Seek NCAA Tournament Auto Bid


Nebraska baseball finished two games behind regular season conference champion Illinois for second place in the league and earned the No. 2 seed in the Big Ten Tournament.

The Huskers own a 34-19 overall record with a 16-8 mark in the Big Ten and are ranked No. 31 nationally in RPI – the best in the league with the Illini as the next-closest at No. 43 in RPI.

Nebraska appears to be a lock – or perhaps near-lock – to earn a berth in the NCAA Tournament even if they go 0-2 in the league tournament. But the Huskers can all but guarantee a spot with a good showing in Omaha this week and, of course, they would lock down the Big Ten’s automatic bid if they capture the conference tournament title.

The No. 2 seed Huskers will square off with No. 7 seed Ohio State (28-24, 12-12 Big Ten) at 2 p.m. CT to start their B1G tourney run today.

Below is a preview of what’s on tap for Nebraska and Ohio State at Charles Schwab Field including notes, key stats and the top players to watch.
