It would seem the Big East can be a 2 bid conference this season only if UConn does not win the Big East Tournament.  This sort of thing has happened with usual 1 bid conferences before.  Inclined to think UConn has done enough during the regular season to make the NCAA Tourney even if they lose 2 straight games in the Big East Tourney, but I prefer not finding that out.  Suspect at this point Xavier will only make the NCAA Tournament only if they get the Big East automatic bid.

I don't view the Big East as a terrible baseball conference, but as pretty much an average conference.  Remember, there are 30 total baseball conferences in NCAA D1 Baseball.  Average baseball conferences just don't match up to the general strengths of the P5 conferences and a few others.  Almost any conference is going to look poorly when compared to the SEC or the ACC.  I suspect it is possible the Big East in baseball may improve a little and possibly in the occasional  year get at an at large bid to the NCAA (if UConn stays in the Big East), but certainly highly unlikely that they would ever be anywhere near the competitive level as the P5 conferences.
