How Many 2023 BIG EAST Baseball Teams Will Make The NCAA Tournament?

UConn is poised to be a lock for the NCAA Tournament. The projected No.2 seed will likely make the field even if they are upset this week, meaning the three other BIG EAST teams can act as a seed-stealer for other at-large bids. 

The hottest team in the league is Seton Hall, who enters the tournament on a six-game win streak.
