I went 2-3 on picking series winners this week.
The big surprises were Michigan State winning the series against Indiana State and the real shocker of Maryland taking two of three at Illinois.
Minnesota (11-15, 6-3 B1G) at Michigan (22-8, 4-1 B1G)
Carl’s Predicted Outcome: 2-1 Minnesota
Actual Outcome: 2-1 Michigan
Purdue (10-21, 4-4 B1G) at Nebraska (17-9, 7-2 B1G)
Carl’s Predicted Outcome: 2-1 Nebraska
Actual Outcome: 3-0 Nebraska
Maryland (15-15, 3-3 B1G) at Illinois (20-10, 1-5 B1G)
Carl’s Predicted Outcome: 3-0 Illinois
Actual Outcome: 2-1 Maryland
It is the second weekend in a row that a team Indiana beats goes on to hurt the Illini the next weekend. Despite a top-25 RPI, Illinois has severely struggled against the common opponents with Indiana.
Indiana State (23-6, 1-2 MO Valley, 7-3 vs B1G) at Michigan State (7-22, 0-5 B1G)
Carl’s Predicted Outcome: 3-0 Indiana State
Actual Outcome: 2-1 Michigan State
RUTGERS (9-19, 2-4 B1G) at Iowa (16-12, 5-4 B1G)
Carl’s Predicted Outcome: 2-1 Iowa
Actual Outcome: 2-1 Iowa
