The celebrations for the regular season title are over. The All Big Ten awards have been handed out. Now it's time for Minnesota to focus and make some noise in the Big Ten Tournament.
The Gophers start the tourney against Iowa. Minnesota last faced the Hawkeyes at the beginning of April, taking 2 of 3 from Iowa in the first Big Ten series of 2016. Here's a quick recap of that series:
Game 1: Minnesota 4, Iowa 1
The story of the game was Matt Fielder. He pitched a great game and kept Iowa's hitters in check, striking out 6 while giving up 3 hits and a run in 7 innings.
