The Big West looks like it should produce multiple NCAA Tournament teams in 2024. UC Irvine and UC Santa Barbara both are talented and ready to contend this spring. Cal State Northridge has been on the upswing and other teams could push into that range. But no matter what RPI or other tournament selection–metrics say, this conference has college baseball very much worth watching. UCSB has one of the better pitching staffs in the country. UCI returns every starter from a lineup that ranked 27th in the nation in scoring—no Big West team has ranked higher since UCSB ranked 13th in 2004. CSUN is coming off its best season since 2002. UCSD will aim for a second surprising spring and a repeat title.
