It would also be nice if Michigan took the last two from Purdue to get them back into the top 50 and give us two additional wins there.

Minnesota won today at Rutgers and won sole possession of the regular season B1G Championship
The reg season champ is recognized as "the" B1G champion, correct?
It's just like basketball. There is a regular season champ and tournament champ. The tournament champ gets the auto bid.
So, Minnesota, the reg season champ, is recognized as "the" B1G champion, just like they do with basketball?
P.S. where the hell is @funnyfletcher ????
Through four Innings Cole McDonald has seven strikeouts
So seven strikeouts out of the possible 12 outs ...that's not too bad.

Yes! That means that our national championship hopes are still alive!
They kept McDonald almost right at 60 pitchrs.
It's a 0-0 game in the 5th with Iowa threatening.

5-0 Iowa after 5...also...
Hawks up 9-1. Can’t believe Crowl has walked in all 8 at bats so far in this series. That’s probably more than Elion has walked all season.
I blame....I mean, I credit @funnyfletcher for what is happening at Banks Field tonight!!!
Iowa wins 9-1, goes for the sweep on Saturday on ESPNU.
1,571 tonight. It'd be nice if we could get over 2,000 on Saturday for the seniors and final home game.
Only had 992 last night I believe.

We will see what Dreyer does on Saturday with the start, but at this point I think it's safe to say Schanuel has been replaced in the rotation. However, we will need him to start at some point if we want to win the B1G tournament and/or go deep into it.
Well it looks like Purdue, Michigan, and Iowa are all going to be fighting it out for a spot. They’re all in the last 5 out for D1 Baseball.
The B1G tournament is gonna be intense; will be interesting to see if we play nervous or if we come out with fire, where our pitching and hitting are both spot on
It will be intense. I don't see how Michigan can really even be considered at this point. They've lost the first two games to Purdue this weekend and are now 4-7 in the Big 10 since they came to Iowa at 11-0. It just proves how weak their first half of the conference season was.
Regular season finale tonight at #Banks!
6:30 p.m. first pitch!

Cole McDonald thought 3 weeks ago he was facing another Tommy John surgery. Instead, he was OK. Friday, he brought the heat (94 mph) in a key @UIBaseball win against Penn State.

Iowa's RPI fell more taking 2/3 from Oklahoma State and their top 25 RPI than it has winning two against PSU and their 234 RPI.

I love Heller and I love how he made the non conf schedule as challenging as possible. I think getting Missouri and OK State to come to Iowa City was huge. I wonder how Heller pulled that off? Does he have good personal relationships with the Mizzou and OK State coaches? That both schools (an SEC and a Big 12) would want to come to Iowa City in the middle of the week says a lot about Heller and where the Iowa program is nationally, imo.
My guess is and this is pure speculation that Iowa is returning to Oklahoma State next season. They did do a home/home with Michigan a few years ago.
Mizzou was a late add. I believe Mizzou saw it mutually beneficially at the time because they are a bubble team and Iowa was Top 50 RPI.
MSU up on Ohio State and Iowa beating PSU would put Iowa in 6th in the B1G and playing at 9am on Wednesday. Yuck! I was hoping to avoid the 9am game.
