The final regular weekend of the regular season is here and the Big East Tournament begins Thursday at Prasco Park in Mason, Ohio.
The tournament, which includes the top four teams in the Big East standings, is a true double-elimination format, modeled after an NCAA Tournament Regional.
UConn, sporting an impressive 16-2 record in league play, clinched its second consecutive regular-season championship on Sunday, as the Huskies finished off their series victory over Xavier with a pair of statement wins.
Jim Penders’ crew has yet to lose a weekend set this season and with an RPI of 43, in addition to their 43-10 overall record, seem to be well on the way to securing a bid to the NCAA Tournament for the fifth consecutive time, whether by winning the Big East Tournament or with an at-large invite from the NCAA Tournament committee.
