The final weekend of the regular season in college baseball is here and it is a dire one for Purdue. Like most series around the country, this will be a Thursday-Friday-Saturday weekend to allow teams to prepare for conference tournaments beginning as early as next Tuesday in some parts of the country. The Big Ten Tournament begins next Wednesday in Omaha, but to get there Purdue has a lot of work to do.
Purdue enters the weekend at 20-31 overall, but only 7-13 in the Big Ten. That’s bad, but they are technically still alive for one of the eight league tournament berths.
