The Nebraska baseball program officially earned its 18th all-time bid to the NCAA Tournament with an intense run through last week's Big Ten Tournament.

The Huskers got pummeled by Ohio State, 15-2, in their first-round game before rallying to go 5-0 in elimination games – which featured a blowout revenge game victory over OSU and winning three games in a span of a little over 24 hours on Saturday and Sunday – and capture the Big Ten's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

Nebraska learned their tourney path this week, which will begin on Friday with a first-round game against Florida at 2 p.m. CT in the Stillwater Regional.

Head coach Will Bolt, who is leading the Huskers into their second NCAA tourney berth in his five-year tenure, was joined by a pair of players (shortstop Dylan Carey and pitcher Drew Christo) this week in a pre-tournament press conference. Here are the three biggest takeaways as the Huskers put in final preparations ahead of their latest tournament appearance.
