New format this season for the B1G baseball tournament. 4 pools of 3 teams, with the pool winners meeting in the semis. (Only 12 teams make the tournament).
The 3 teams in each pool play each other, with the winner advancing to the semis. If each pool team goes 1 & 1, the highest seeded team in the pool "wins' the pool and advances.

Iowa finished 21 & 9, in 3rd, a game back of both UCLA and OR. The Ducks are the #1 seed, because they won 2 of 3 from the #2 Bruins in the regular season.

Pool A has the 1, 8 & 12 seeds. Pool B has the 2, 7 & 11 seeds. Iowa in in Pool C, as the #3 seed, with #6 & #10. Pool D is 4, 5 and 9 seeds.

Iowa plays #10 seed Rutgers (15 & 15) at 6 on Wednesday, the 21st. Iowa plays #6 seed Indiana (16 & 14) on Friday, the 23rd @ 2.
If they win both games, or if all 3 Pool C teams win once, the Hawks "win" Pool C and play the winner of Pool B @ 6 on the 24th The title game is at 2 on the 25th.

All the seeds and times: https://bigten.org/base/tournament/ I think ALL the games are going to be televised by the Big Ten Network

A side note: If the 4 West Coast teams had not been added, your Hawks would've been B1G champs by FIVE games! Hawks @ 21 - 9, followed by Indiana @ 16 - 14
