[iowajerms]

This tournament is confusing but it took me a while to figure it out. This bracket will either make it easier for you or just confuse you more. I feel it is better than what is on the tournament site.

Nebraska/Iowa tonight. Winner is off until Saturday morning.

Iowa took the regular season series (Apr 19 - 21st) in Iowa City (2-1).

TD Ameritrade would be a packed house if it were the 5:00 pm game. Probably not so much since it starts at 9:00 pm, but there should still be a decent crowd.

Weather: 66° Wind ESE 9 mph
50% chance of scattered t-storms

I didn't know who I wanted to win last night. Huskers have home field advantage and I would think they are hungrier with the series loss. Iowa didn't play Minnesota.

Iowa also had an epic meltdown at the end of the season, going 1-2 at home vs MSU and being swept at Maryland. Iowa went from being 1 game down from 1st as the 3rd team to being 8th seed.

Yeah, I'm nervous about this game.

There was a decent Iowa contingent there yesterday even though they were dogs to the 1 seed.

Nebraska plays two games a year at TD Ameritrade, so yeah there's a little bit of home field advantage.

Iowa has been a big game team this season. They won series at Oklahoma State (current #11). Won series at Illinois (current #20). Won series vs UC Irvine (was ranked at the time). Beat Indiana yesterday (but was swept in season, current #21).

But didn't care vs crap teams. Went 2-2 at Hawaii. Lost to Bradley. Lost to Western Illinois.

These start times suck! 9 pm last night, 9 pm tonight. And if the Huskers win tonight they play at 9 am on Saturday.

How about a 5 or 6 pm start guys? Losing tonight and getting the 7:30 game tomorrow night doesn't sound so bad right about now, minus the losing part.

In all seriousness, it does suck for attendance. If the Huskers had a different seed and earlier games I bet it would add a couple thousand people to the attendance.

Yeah. They should begin the games an hour earlier. 8 am > 9 pm

 

[iowajerms]

Michigan pitcher has 12 Ks and Michigan still might lose.

Michigan is down by 1 going into Bot 9th.

 

[iowajerms]

What a finish.

 

[iowajerms]

Illinois eliminated.

 

[huskers1217]

so..all upsets yesterday and today all higher seeds will win

That is boring. 2 rematches from 1st round.

 

[iowajerms]

I wish they did cross bracket, where loser of Iowa/Nebraska faces Michigan and loser of Maryland/Ohio State faces winner of Indiana/Minnesota. But they did cross bracket the next round.

 

[iowajerms]

Top seed Indiana is eliminated. They are covering the field. It looks like storm is going to hit them.

 

[Red_Alert]

7 seed Ohio St and 6 seed Maryland underway.
