Minnesota lost to Northwestern, which means it will play Indiana this evening at 5 pm ET.
Hoosiers will face Minnesota at 5 pm ET today

- Start date
That's great. They went through a lot of pitchers today and should be tired as a team too. Let's go get'm Hoosiers.
I think Home today (since we were visitors against Minny last time we played the), than if we win visitors in morning game tomorrow and home in second game if we won.
Also if Iowa holds on and beats Nebraska that's break of the century for us if we win today as Iowa only has 2 quality starters they have burned in first 2 games and they have piece mealed their 3rd guy with little success. Nebraska on other hand is a much better team with a decent regular third starter.
I thought 1st tie breaker for home field was who was home team first time teams played than 2nd tiebreaker is who was visitors in each of teams last games? Can you clarify what the procedure for tiebreakers are. I cannot find them anywhere on web.

The first tiebreaker is who's been the home team the most (whoever is less is home). Second tiebreaker is seeding. So seeding takes precedent here, based on my understanding.
We'll go ahead and use this thread as the game thread.

Freshman lefty Andrew Saalfrank getting the start for IU, senior righty Toby Anderson on the mound for Minnesota.
Hoosiers are the visitors today, so they are in the dugout by first base. Gophers are the home team, so they are in the dugout by third base.
