Matt Donlan has had himself an NCAA Tournament to remember.

Any BIG EAST baseball title on the line this season seemed to be UConn's, until someone else said otherwise.

Always expect the unexpected in the BIG EAST, but Saturday proved that to be especially true.

It took some time for the gears to really turn, but the BIG EAST Baseball Championship finally got underway with the quarterfinal rounds Thursday and Friday.

It's funny how things change sometimes.

At nearly every corner in the BIG EAST this year, fans have been able to find plenty of emerging talent.

Before the penultimate weekend of Colonial Athletic Association regular-season competition pares down the field to those that will vie for the league championship, CAA teams compete in some intriguing non-conference matchups.

Sometimes, you’ve just got to tip your hat to the competition.

Crunch time is here for BIG EAST baseball.

Seems like we just started the season, didn’t we?

Less than a month remains in the Colonial Athletic Association baseball regular season, and Charleston continues to put distance between itself and the rest of the league.

Over the past several years, Butler designated hitter/outfielder Aaron Steinhart constantly thought about walking away from baseball. The 5-11, 190-pound left handed-hitting junior from Jupiter, Florida was having a difficult time finding his place and rhythm in a sport filled with roller coaster rides and high expectations.

Is it too early to call the BIG EAST baseball title hunt a two-horse race? Two squads in particular look to be in the best position to make a run for it. So far, neither UConn nor Creighton have lost a game in conference play.

With college basketball over and spring in full bloom, it means it’s time for one thing in the college sports universe.

It’s UConn’s world, and the rest of the BIG EAST baseball world is just living in it.
