The best of the Big 12 will be showcasing their skills in Oklahoma City this week.  While some teams are comfortably in the NCAA tournament field, other teams need to impress at Bricktown Ballpark to secure their bids.  Texas, the regular season conference champion, enters the tournament as winners of nine of their last ten games.  Oklahoma makes the twenty five mile drive up I-35 as the 2 seed with ideas of winning a conference tournament championship and locking up a regional host bid.  Missouri enters the tournament as the 3 seed, having won eight of their last ten games.  Kansas State, fresh off a series loss to rival Kansas, will again face the Jayhawks in the opening round 4/5 matchup.  Read the rest of this entry »

CAA Tournament Preview

The CAA starts tournament play in the final year of the six team format. The conference will cut the number of playoff teams to four next season, which is a shame given the parity this year. Entering the final weekend of play, only two teams had locked up spots, and five teams were battling for the remaining three spots on the final day of the season.

James Madison, which won the tournament last season, was knocked out of the playoffs by George Mason in the final weekend and became the first team with a winning CAA record not to make the six team tournament. UNC Wilmington, last season’s regular season champion, will be a three seed heading into the playoffs.

The double elimination tournament starts at noon Wednesday at Brooks Field in Wilmington, N.C. when top seeded George Mason takes on sixth seeded Delaware. Here’s a rundown of each of the six teams. Read the rest of this entry »
