Crunch time for UC baseball

UC's three-game sweep of West Virginia over the weekend earned the Bearcats the No. 2 seed in the Big East Tournament, which begins Tuesday in Clearwater, Fla. UC finished the regular season with a 36-19 record, breaking the school mark for for victories in a season. The Bearcats were 19-8 in the Big East, one game behind league champ St. John's. They will play their first game in the tournament at 5 p.m. Tuesday against the same No. 7 seed West Virginia team they just swept. If they win, they will face the winner of the USF-Notre Dame game at 8 p.m. Wednesday. If they lose, they'll play at 1 p.m. Wednesday against the loser of ND-USF. The winner of the double-elimination tournament goes to the NCAA Tournament, where UC hasn't been since 1974.

    big time gut check.

    Bearcats are hot, but you can't let it go to your head. You just have to remain steady, and keep focussed on doing things the right way.

    Way to go, Bearcats. Keep it up!

    Very well done baseballers. Good luck in the Big East tournament and it would be a great achievement to win and make the NCAA tournament.

    Bill - how about an update on UC Track & Field? The Bearcats usually have some outstanding decathletes as well as high jumpers, pole vaulters, etc.

    Nice article on Mike Williams. It seems like he would have a good case to get a 6th year of eligibility.
