Xavier baseball aims for NCAA automatic bid at Big East Tournament
After winning its first Big East title since 2016, Xavier is after the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament this week at Prasco Park.
Coming off winning a share of the Big East regular-season title (its first since 2016), Xavier baseball is after the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament this week in the conference tournament at Prasco Park. Xavier (27-28 overall) finished 15-6 in conference play to split the regular-season title with UConn and St. John's.
Billy O'Conner's Musketeers have won eight of their last 11 games and took the final two tilts of a three-game series against Creighton last week at Hayden Field to earn a share of the regular season crown. Xavier is the No. 3 seed in the Big East Tournament and will face No.
2 UConn in the first round at 6:30 p. m. Wednesday, May 20, in Mason.
What does Xavier baseball need to make the NCAA Tournament? Xavier last made the NCAA Tournament in 2023. In each of the last two years, the Musketeers were on the NCAA Tournament bubble after falling short at Prasco Park.
