With threatening weather in the forecast for Saturday in Bloomington, Ohio State and Indiana adjusted the schedule of the final series of the regular season to play a doubleheader on Friday. By the end of the night, the dark clouds were hanging low over the heads of the Buckeyes.
The Hoosiers picked up a series sweep, sending head coach Greg Beals's squad to a 1-8 finish in the final three conference weekends, and a 13-11 record. With the Big Ten tournament beginning Wednesday at Target Field in Minneapolis, Ohio State is reeling. As the calendar turned to May, there was talk of a regional being hosted at Bill Davis Stadium, but now an NCAA tournament appearance is no longer a sure bet.
