Gophers Move To Top

Minnesota's 12-5 triumph over Michigan has moved the Gophers into first place in the Big Ten. The Gophers win combined with (25) Ohio State's 10-7 win over Illinois allows Minnesota to claim a half game lead in the conference race. Illinois is second and the Buckeyes are in third place.

Indiana swept a Saturday twinbill with Northwestern, 3-2 and 5-2, keeping the Hoosiers in fourth. Fifth place is held by Michigan State. The Spartans secured a Big Ten Tournament berth with their 6-5 win over Purdue.

The final post-season spot currently belongs to Purdue. The Boilers are at 7-11. Michigan and Penn State are next at 7-13. Northwestern follows at 3-15 and Iowa rounds out the field at 3-16.

I think I'm taking OSU at "home" in the Big Ten tournament. They should finish either #1 or #2 seed with Iowa next week which would give them a huge needed bye in the tournament. The outside team that may be the least flashy is Minnesota. They are quietly in the tournament and Buske needs more consideration as one of the top pitchers in the conference.
