What you need to know ahead of college baseball tournaments, from Big 12's big stage to standout A&M freshman

College baseball tournaments begin this week with NCAA bids on the line and the Big 12 hoping for two national seeds to emerge from Oklahoma City.

Here are five questions going into tournament play:

1. Can Texas Tech and TCU each receive NCAA national needs?

It's a distinct possibility. Tech (42-13) and TCU (39-14) tied for the Big 12 regular-season title with the Red Raiders earning the top seed in Oklahoma City thanks to a series win over the Horned Frogs. Despite injury problems, Tech is fourth in the latest RPI while TCU is sixth.
