This is a big weekend in the B1G with the top six teams playing each other in a series. IU's games on Saturday and Sunday will be on the BTN at 7:00 p.m. ET and 1 p.m. ET, respectively.
As of right now, the Huskers are the only team in the B1G that analysts say are a lock for at least an at-large bid for the Field of 64.
Game 1 (Fri, 7:05 ET)
LHP Ty Bothwell will be on the mound for IU with an ERA of 5.46 in 61.0 IP and a WHIP of 1.33 with an OBA of .254.
RHP Brett Sears will be on the mound for Nebraska with an ERA of 2.17 in 78.1 IP and a WHIP of 0.84 with an OBA of .180.
Game 2 (Sat, 7:05 ET)
RHP Connor Foley will be on the mound for IU with an ERA of 4.53 in 47.2 IP and a WHIP of 1.22 with an OBA of .162.
RHP Mason McConnaughey will be on the mound for Nebraska with an ERA of 3.19 in 48.0 IP and a WHIP of 1.27 with an OBA of .253.
Game 3 (Sun, 1:05 ET)
The pitchers are TBD for both teams.
