UConn baseball is in the NCAA Tournament for the fifth consecutive year, though this time the Huskies earned an at-large bid after winning the previous two Big East Tournament titles.
Jim Penders’ squad was placed in the Gainesville Regional along with hosts No. 2 Florida, Texas Tech, and Florida A&M. Here’s a closer look at the other three teams.
No. 2 Florida
The second overall seed in the field of 64 earned an at-large bid out of the SEC after falling to eventual champion Vanderbilt in the conference tournament semifinal. The Gators finished 44-14 overall, including 20-10 in SEC, winning the SEC East and tied with Arkansas for the outright regular season title.
