Not true, Iowa lost to Northwestern today. If Nebraska wins and Iowa loses tomorrow, we could end up as the third seed. While slim, there is still a chance.
Seriously don’t think Ioway losses again today..

Looks more like 4 seed with a win and 5 seed with losing to Purdue who now is out of the running getting into the tournament..

Not sure how we’re backing into the tourney?
Agree, we qualified last weekend by winning to eliminate others from overtaking a qualifying spot from us. We're not backing in.

You could argue if we lose this series against a team who isn't qualifying for the conference tournament, we'd be on a slide going into the tournament, but not backing in. Plus, if we're strategically resting players today given the potentially grueling tournament schedule and the fact we need to win the conference tournament to make the NCAA tournament, I don't mind it. We've already seen it this weekend by sitting Matthew and not throwing Olsen deep into game 1 (65 pitches), and Kaminska only went 69 pitches in game 2. I doubt we'll see Schanaman today since he went 52 Thursday.

Does this conference screw up everything they put their fingers on? Why would you have a day with the possibilty of 4 games (only day with 4 games) the day before the championship game? If you get a couple long games or rain delay you have literally screwed up the championship day game. If they have the "if" game at 9pm on the 27th then the winner will be finishing that game at probably midnight or later then have to return for a 2pm game? Play the 4 game days in the beginning to save room for delays or rain outs.

Still tied at 3 in the top of the 7th. Huskers going to the bullpen. They need to close out the top of the 7th without giving up a run and figure out how to manufacture some more offense.
