5 men’s NCAA baseball tournament players to watch
The Mongomery Advertiser’s Adam Cole and The Tennesseean’s Aria Gerson break down the top players to watch in the men’s NCAA baseball tournament.
Texas baseball took an expected-but-necessary first step toward a College World Series appearance and a potential national championship Friday, knocking off Houston Christian 7-1 in the first game of the Austin Regional in the 2025 NCAA tournament.
Now, a new challenge awaits for coach Jim Schlossnagle‘s team.
The Longhorns, the No. 2 national seed, will take on in-state foe UTSA in the second game of the regional they’re hosting at UFCU Disch-Falk Field in Austin, Texas.
A win against the Roadrunners, who beat Kansas State 10-2 Friday, would be far from a guarantee. Texas and UTSA faced off on March 18 in Austin, with the Longhorns getting handed an 8-7 loss in 12 innings in Austin, one of only four losses they suffered outside of SEC play this season.
With another victory, Texas will further enhance its position to make the super regional round of the NCAA tournament for the fourth time in the past four years, as it would be the only team left in the double-elimination Austin Regional without a loss.
