May 17-19th, 2019 was the last time Minnesota had won a Big Ten Baseball series. They finally broke the streak Sunday, and in doing so may have all but ended the chance of Nebraska, the preseason favorite to win the conference, to even make the conference tournament.
There is still a mathematical chance of reaching that tournament, which would be an accomplishment this season. Nebraska will first need to hold up its end of the bargain, with a series against 4th place Illinois, a team that rarely beats itself with one of the best offenses and defenses in the conference, followed by Michigan State, a series the Huskers will probably need to sweep at that point in time.
