The Huskers’ win comes in the final week of the regular season and just two days before the Nebraska baseball team will start a pivotal series against the Indiana Hoosiers. The outcome of that series, which oddly enough starts on Thursday instead of Friday, will help determine the final seedings for the Big Ten conference tournament.
This week will also play a big part in determining the Cornhuskers’ resume when it comes to whether or not Darin Erstad’s boys deserve an at-large bid to the NCAA Regionals. While the Nebraska baseball team will be looking to win the conference tournament outright, it’s always safe to cover all of a team’s bases and a 3-1 or 4-0 week would go a long way towards clinching a birth.
