[/B]The Huskies looked like a potential regional host only to falter down the stretch and get eliminated quickly in the Gainesville Regional in 2023. Then last year, the Huskies got their poor stretch out of the way early, opening 3-8 and were still sitting at 9-15 as they neared the halfway point, but UConn dominated conference play, going 17-4. Despite a pair of one-run losses in extra innings in the Big East Tournament, it got an at-large berth and went about upsetting someone on their home field once again, winning the Norman Regional over Oklahoma to advance to their second super regional in three years before falling to Florida State in Tallahassee. UConn continues to be the class of the Big East with its tried-and-true blue-collar approach. The Huskies are again the frontrunner for the conference title and should be in at-large contention, if they falter in the Big East Tournament. The question comes in the postseason where the Huskies will look for their third super regional in four years and then their first trip to the College World Series since 1979. <- [/QUOTE]
