Not that long ago, Michigan’s baseball team was riding a 20-game winning streak and squarely in the discussion for an at-large invitation to the NCAA Tournament.
Not anymore.
The Wolverines are limping into the Big Ten tournament, which starts today in Omaha, Nebraska.
But with an RPI that’s slouched to the mid-50s, at least they know right where they stand: Win the tournament, or go home. Last year, Michigan was No. 35 in the RPI after the Big Ten tournament and made the NCAA field as an at-large, but as one of the last teams in the field.
