Jon Joseph Moderator No. 3 Share Posted 5 hours ago Will Oregon have to face the top pitcher, per BTN, in the conference if it opens against the Spartans? Oregon Baseball kicks off Big Ten Tournament as No. 1 seed DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM The No. 1 seed Oregon Ducks opens up their conference tournament journey facing Michigan State in Omaha, Neb. As I understand (don't understand) the format, the 1st game tournament opponent for OBD is yet to be determined? Nothing new, I'm confused. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Administrator No. 4 Share Posted 4 hours ago The schedule is right here, and we play Michigan State on Thursday at 4:00 PM PST. That was a GREAT article explaining it, and I thank 30Duck for posting it. From the article... "If a team goes 2-0 in their pool, they’d obviously win the pool, but if every team goes 1-1 in pool play, the top-seeded team in the pool would automatically advance. That means the Ducks really only need one win to advance to the semifinals, and they’ll have the knowledge of which game they have to win before it’s played. Nebraska and Michigan State will face off on Tuesday. The loser will not have a path to the semifinal so, Oregon could lose to that team, and have it not impact its tournament. The Ducks will only have to beat the winner of the Nebraska/Michigan State game to advance, but they have to win that game. Otherwise, that other team would be 2-0 and claim the Pool A spot in the semifinals. This gives Oregon a massive pitching advantage. The Ducks will be able to save their ace, Grayson Grinsell, for the game against the winner of the MSU/Nebraska game and treat the other game as a bullpen game."
