Illinois concludes regular season at Michigan State
fightingillini.comIllinois has one last series of the regular season before heading to the Big Ten Tournament. The Illini will play Michigan State for a Thursday-Saturday series before leaving Monday for the tournament in Omaha.
The Illini (34-16, 13-8 Big Ten) are coming off a series sweep against Purdue, pushing Illinois to No. 23 in the D1Baseball poll and No. 21 in the RPI, both the highest marks in the Big Ten. Although Illinois has earned their spot in the Big Ten Tournament, its exact seeding is yet to be determined — they could be as high as the first seed or as low as the seventh seed — depending on how the rest of the Big Ten Conference finishes the regular season.
