Northeastern, Holy Cross baseball earn spot in NCAA Tournament
Both Northeastern and Holy Cross are dancing in the NCAA baseball tournament. The two Massachusetts schools were part of the field of 64 announced Monday, and will now fight for a trip to Omaha, Nebraska and the College World Series. Northeastern is one of the hottest teams in the country and are a two-seed in the Tallahassee regional, where they'll first face the three-seeded Mississippi State. Holy Cross is in the four-seed in the Chapel Hill regional, and will take the North Carolina Tar Heels, who are the top seed in their region and the No. 5 seed overall in the tournament. You can check out the full NCAA Tournament bracket here. Dates and times for games are TBD at the moment. Northeastern Huskies in NCAA Tournament The Huskies are one of the hottest teams in the country at the moment, winners of 27 straight games and 36 of their last 37. Northeastern hasn't lost a game since April 6, and have the best ERA in college baseball at 2.92. The Huskies finished the season with an incredible 48-9 record (the most wins in the NCAA) and claimed the 2025 Coastal Athletic Association Tournament championship after an eighth-inning rally over UNC Wilmington in the title game over the weekend. Northeastern came back from a 6-3 deficit on Saturday to capture the championship tilt, 9-6. Junior outfielder Harrison Feinberg hit a three-run double in the eighth to tie the game, and Northeastern went on top with a two-run double by junior infielder Carmelo Musacchia. The comeback victory gave NU its first tournament championship since 2021. The Huskies are now in the NCAA tournament for the 11th time in program history. They were pretty pumped with their selection on Monday: First up for the Huskies is Mississippi State (34-12), with Florida State and Bethume-Cookman also in the double-elimination Tallahassee regional. The winners of the first games in regional action will then face one another, with the losers playing each other in an elimination game. Bracket play will continue until three teams are eliminated with two loses, while the winner of the double-elimination bracket will advance to the best-of-three super regionals. Northeastern went 20-7 on the road during the season, and an impressive 5-1 at neutral sites. Holy Cross Crusaders in NCAA Tournament Holy Cross went 31-25 during the season and won the 2025 Patriots League Tournament last week with an 8-7 win over Army West Point in the title game. It was Holy Cross' first title since 2017. They'll first face the North Carolina Tar Heels (42-12) on their home field to start the NCAA Tournament, with Oklahoma and Nebraska rounding out the Chapel Hill regional. The Crusaders were 16-16 on the road during the season, and 0-1 at neutral sites.

No. 3 Texas Tech takes NCAA Tournament-record 46 3-pointers, advances past No. 14 UNC Wilmington
Kerwin Walton scored a career-high 27 points and No. 3 seed Texas Tech attempted an NCAA Tournament-record 46 3-pointers in an 82-72 victory over No. 14 seed UNC Wilmington on Thursday night. The Red Raiders raced to a 16-point lead, lost most of it by going cold in the final 6 1/2 minutes of the first half and then made enough plays down the stretch to recover after the Seahawks went ahead with about 14 minutes remaining. Texas Tech (26-8) finished 13 for 46 behind the arc, breaking the tournament record of 43 attempts by Saint Joseph's in a 1997 second-round game against Boston College. The 46 3s also set a school record. 'I felt like our grit and fight really showed late in the game,' Texas Tech coach Grant McCasland said. 'We felt like we'd have to win on the glass and play 50-50 basketball in order to give us a chance to win. 'We shot a lot of 3s; a lot of those were open.' Elijah Hawkins contributed 14 points for the Red Raiders and Darrion Williams had 13 to set up a second-round matchup with No. 11 seed Drake on Saturday. Big 12 Player of the Year JT Toppin had 12 points and 10 rebounds for his 16th double-double of the season. 'All credit goes to Texas Tech, and I have lots of respect for the program and the team,' UNC Wilmington coach Takayo Siddle said. 'Texas Tech shot way more 3s than I thought they would. I was surprised by that, but I thought the ones they made were timely.' Nolan Hodge scored 18 points for UNC Wilmington (27-8), the Coastal Athletic Association Champion. The Seahawks shot 41% from the floor.

Texas Tech: The Red Raiders shot just 27 for 69 (39%) from the floor and got a spark from Walton, who made eight 3-pointers. 'Most of the credit goes to Elijah Hawkins,' Walton said. 'He knows exactly where to find me. I have great teammates that help me have a game like this.' Up next Texas Tech will play Saturday, looking to reach the Sweet 16 for the fourth time in the last seven NCAA tournaments. ___ AP March Madness bracket: and coverage: Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.
