Checked in on the 6-6 game to find out that Purdue went up 8-6.
There's still baseball left. Go Illini!

Wow - almost two Grand Slams in one inning. It's a romp!
How did we build this Big Ten Championship team? I peeked at the roster and I don't think it was due to NIL and D1 transfers. Maybe a couple of Junior College guys? They're monsters at the plate.

I think it will be.
I know that the basketball tourney dropped the concept of last ten games. Basically how you finish is no more important than how you start. Hopefully baseball allows for that in which case we'd be a lock.

The Illini will be a 3 seed if they make the tournament. That's the equivalent of like a 10 seed in basketball. The Big 10 is not a good baseball conference.
What a great achievement for this baseball team after such a rough start. Not matter what happens next, after the 5-10 start, becoming outright champion has got to be one of the greatest turn-arounds in Illinois sports history. And the memories from that experience will surely be treasured by the members of this team (and their families) for the rest of their lives. Deservedly so.
Heart felt Congratulations to this team.

Oregon state is a juggernaut in college baseball. Adley rutschman went there. Darwin barney etc

except no one watches college baseball during the regular season and hardly much more watch during the CWS. therein lies the rub.
And in the midst of this great run, our own Michael Massey with an .841 OPS in May for the Royals.
Got nothing better to do this Sunday morning.
Technically, Nebraska is not hosting B1G tournament. Charles Schwab Field in Omaha is. Lincoln is some 60 miles from Omaha. Huskers play home games at Hawks Field in Lincoln. Gee, fine point. Bottom line: I agree, Nebraska is indeed the host.
By the way, a non sequitur: Gale Sayers, #40, Bears, my favorite, grew up in Omaha. The Kansas Comet.

Yep that’s pretty much it. Revenue sports are everything.
The women's basketball team had a similar turn around this year, going from under .500 in pre season to winning a post season tournament.
Perseverence, baby!!
D1Baseball has updated their NCAA tournament projections today:
Illinois is effectively placed as the last #2 seed here, which is actually well clear of the cut line. Still would like to see them avoid an 0-2 tournament week to be sure, but their bid appears somewhat safe for the time being.
