The Big Ten has some interesting midweek games. Here's a brief rundown of what's in store over the next couple of days.
Indiana: @ Louisville, Valpo
Illinois: Bradley
Iowa: Two versus Kansas
Michigan: Akron (canceled), Central Michigan
Michigan State: @ Western Michigan
Minnesota: Two @ Missouri
Northwestern: Elmhurst, Northern Illinois
Ohio State: Morehead State
Penn State: Pittsburgh (canceled), Bucknell

Certainly, there are some opportunities to improve both RPI rankings and national perception (IU @ Louisville, Iowa @ KU and Minnesota's two @ Mizzou) over the next few days. When conference action returns this weekend, we've got:
Iowa @ Indiana
Illinois @ Michigan
Michigan State @ Ohio State

Hi Big-10ers,
Kansas is actually visiting Iowa this week. Penn State and Northwestern have come to Lawrence recently so I guess KU is returning the favor.
In game one Kansas escaped with a 5-4 win. The Jayhawks 19 baserunners (16 singles, a walk and two hit batters) but only got five across the plate. KU broke a 3-3 tie in the top of the ninth when they scored two runs. Iowa responded in the bottom of the 9th. With the score 5-4 and runners at the corners KU reliever Colton Murray struck out Iowa first baseman Phil Keppler after a long battle.
The two teams play again tomorrow at 4PM. Apparently only about a hundred fans showed up for the game. Is it that cold in Iowa?
The Gophers beat Missouri 7-3 tonight.
Purdue lost to Ball State 17-8
Indiana lost to Louisville 15-1
I'll leave a link below to my recap of the Tuesday 5-4 Kansas win over Iowa. If anyone is going to the game on Wednesday I would be glad if they found time to post thier impressions of the Kansas team here later. It is always good to get an outside point of view.
