How does the tournament work? (from NCAA.com)
The 64 teams will be placed in 16 different four-team regions, with teams seeded one through four to compete in a double-elimination format.
Games start with regionals and continue on to super regionals before the Men’s College World Series begins Friday, June 14, at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha. Click or tap here for this year’s MCWS schedule. LSU won the 2023 title, beating Florida in the Finals.
So will Illinois make it?
Is water wet? Is a hot dog a sandwich? Is a Big Ten regular season title enough to earn a bid into the NCAA Tournament? All tough questions, but the latter shouldn’t be too hard. Illinois head coach Dan Hartleb and his squad will wait to hear their name called on Selection Monday with the belief that they’ve done enough through 34 wins to earn the respect of the committee.
The Big Ten hasn’t sent four teams to the Big Dance since 2019, when five teams made the field of 64.
Arizona, the last at-large team to make last year’s tournament, was ranked 52nd in the RPI when they made the field of 64. As of Sunday, Illinois sits at 47.
D1Baseball’s most recent bracketology Sunday morning has the Illini as the third seed in the Terra Haute Regional, hosted by No. 15 Indiana State.
The Illini split a pair of weekday games with the Sycamores this season, including a 21-11 win on April 30.

Halbrook, House Celebrate 150th Anniversary Of The Founding Of Strasburg, Illinois
Springfield, IL-(Effingham Radio)- State Representative Brad Halbrook this week led the Illinois House in celebrating the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Village of Strasburg.
Many of Strasburg’s first settlers in the 1860’s and 1870’s were of German origin. They were joined by a number of Pennsylvania Dutch in the 1880’s; all drawn by the area’s rich soil and plentiful water from tributaries to the Richland Creek. Strasburg will officially celebrate its anniversary June 14-June 16.
“This is truly a milestone –150 years of hard work, self-discipline, and true care and concern for neighbors have bult a thriving community that we are all very proud of,” Rep. Halbrook said.
This week the House unanimously passed House Resolution 805, congratulating Strasburg officials and residents on 150 years of progress. Rep. Halbrook introduced Strasburg Town Councilmen Robert “Bob” Anderson and Dr. Ian Kinkley who watched from the House gallery as he presented the resolution.
“Illinois has so much to offer; and communities like Strasburg are at the top of the list,” Rep. Halbrook said.
