The controversial Big Ten tournament format helped Nebraska: There was so much debate about how bad the Big Ten baseball tournament’s 2025 format was. It was a set-up that featured many games that ended up being meaningless.
However, you can argue that the four-game format actually helped Nebraska. It allowed the Huskers to have Ty Horn pitch Tuesday and then come back again on Sunday. A year ago, NU played six games in Omaha. In 2025, the Huskers played just four games, which allowed them to manage their pitching staff a lot differently.
