Big Ten regular-season and tournament champion Indiana opens its first College World Series at 8 p.m. ET Saturday on ESPN. The Hoosiers, the Big Ten's first CWS team since 1984 (Michigan), take on streaking Louisville in the event's second game.
Mississippi State and No. 3 seed Oregon State join Indiana and Louisville on one side of the bracket, while No. 1 North Carolina, North Carolina State, No. 4 LSU and UCLA land on the other.
If the Hoosiers beat the Cardinals, they will play the Mississippi State-Oregon State winner at 8 p.m. ET Monday on ESPN2. Lose, and they'll take on the loser of that matchup at 3 p.m. ET Monday on ESPN2.
Programming alert: Get all of your Indiana-Louisville postgame coverage on Big Ten Diamond Report at 11:30 p.m. ET Saturday on BTN/BTN2Go.
