Big Ten baseball - M chances

[speedboys]

OK...

Here's the current standings...

Illinois 15 -6
Nebraska 14 - 7
Purdue 13-8
Indiana 13-8
Michigan 13-8

M is pretty well assured of making the B1G Tourney, but needs a win or a loss by either Maryland, OSU or MSU) to be guaranteed a position. Seedings are up for grabs, as is the regular season championship. Only top 8 teams make it.
three teams (Maryland, OSU & MSU) are tied at 10-11 and only 2 will get in.
Iowa finished at 14-10, they are assured in.

Illinois plays a 3 game series at Purdue starting Thursday.
Nebraska plays a 3 game series at MSU starting Thursday
Michigan plays a 3 game series at IU starting Thursday.

The best M can do is tie for the Championship. Here's how,
M needs to sweep IU, then Illinois needs to lose at least 2 games. If Purdue and Michigan sweep, they would be tied. if Illinois wins 1 with a Michigan sweep, Illinois and Michigan would be tied.
If Illinois loses 2 and Nebraska sweeps MSU, then Nebraska would win the conference.

Lets hope for good results in Bloomington this weekend.
