Despite winning both relays on night 1, the Indiana men only have two finalists tonight. Notably, Michigan, Ohio State, Wisconsin all have more. While most events are evenly distributed, the 50 free will be big for Ohio State while the 200 IM will be big for Michigan in the A final and Indiana in the B final.
It will be expected that Ohio State will take the lead after the 50 free but Michigan will most likely grab the lead after the 200 IM. With diving and the relay to close the night, that is when things will get more complex.
Diving, as always, will play a factor. There are only 29 divers in the 1 meter and Ohio State has seven entries but Indiana is historically known for diving as well. The 400 medley relay cannot be forgotten where Indiana comes in with the top time this season as well as the favorite after winning the 200 medley last night.

Results. ?
wisco with 3 a finalists in the 50 after not being a “sprint school” for so long is gonna be interesting! torepe-ormsby is absolutely blowing up compared to last year and should absolutely be a finals contender at ncaa’s.
