As is standard before most conference tournaments, the people coaching the favorites bumped into each other before it started Monday afternoon. But there was no sly gamesmanship between UNCW head coach Randy Hood and Northeastern head coach Mike Glavine — no examination of body language, no subtle attempts to glean some information, no attempt to fill the other’s head with the tiniest amount of self-doubt.

While Northeastern ran away with the North division title of the Colonial Athletic Association, the conference’s tournament has not been won by a No. 1 seed since 2012.

After a season that included plenty of parity, four teams remain – UConn, Creighton, Seton Hall and Xavier – with a chance to secure a Big East Conference championship and an automatic berth in the NCAA Regionals.

With tournaments happening all around the country, the college baseball season is off to a booming start. To keep the momentum flowing, FloBaseball will be home to another high-stakes tournament down in Frisco, Texas, this weekend.

More talented college baseball returns to Texas on March 4-7. Arizona, Dallas Baptist, Missouri and Oklahoma head to the Frisco College Baseball Classic. All eight games of the event can be seen here on FloBaseball. 

Arizona coach Jay Johnson remembers the warnings he got when he first was offered to coach the Wildcats.
