Selection Monday is four weeks from Monday and UConn baseball is closing in on securing its fifth consecutive NCAA Tournament bid, which would be a program record. The Huskies have a gaudy 37-8 record and are ranked No. 49 in the RPI, which is the primary metric used by the selection committee to select the 33 at-large teams and seed the field.
While Elliot Ballpark is unlikely to host a regional this June, partially due to the Huskies’ 218th-ranked strength of schedule, according to Warren Nolan, Jim Penders and Co. can breathe easy knowing their name will likely be called whether they win the Big East’s automatic bid or not.
