Big Ten baseball champion loses an NCAA tourney game by the score of 37-6!

Big Ten baseball. What a concept.

Three Big Ten teams reached the NCAA tournament this year. All were eliminated this weekend, leaving no one left for the super regionals in the weekend ahead.

Ohio State was the 2009 Big Ten regular-season champion. It bowed out of the NCAAs Sunday with a 37-6 loss to Florida State. That's no typo. Florida State 37, Ohio State 6.

The Buckeyes began their NCAA play Friday with a 24-8 loss to Georgia, then gamely came back to post wins over Marist and Georgia to set up the regional final against Florida State.

The Seminoles set a bunch of NCAA tourney records. Ohio State set one. Namely, the worst loss ever.

Indiana won the Big Ten tournament a weekend ago. It may as well have been light-years ago. The Hoosiers were outscored in their two NCAA contests by a total of 18-2.

Minnesota was the third conference team in the NCAAs. The Gophers won a pair of games in the double-elimination tourney, but were eliminated with a 10-3 loss to LSU.

Which was a lot closer than an LSU-Minnesota football game would be.

Don't think this is someone in Iowa mocking the efforts of the Big Ten's three postseason teams, though ... 37-6? Really, Ohio State?

My point is, the Hawkeyes finished in last place in the Big Ten with a 4-19 record. A 4-19 Big Ten mark is roughly the equivalent of 0-23 in the SEC, Pac-10 or Big 12.
