Hoops HD Goes Hardball in 2026!

While Jon Rothstein famously says “We sleep in May” during college basketball season, those of us at Hoops HD do not sleep. Starting this year, our colleague Chad Sherwood has added conference tournament brackets for college baseball season. You can click HERE for all 30 conferences; the Big Sky and MEAC do not sponsor baseball and are not included among the 32 conferences that participate in Division 1 basketball.

There were some conferences that already began tournament play last week; in the case of the Ivy League they crowned the first auto bid with Yale defeating Brown 7-5.

The Patriot League kicked off on Mother’s Day weekend with Holy Cross and Bucknell winning their respective best-of-3 semifinal series. The Patriot League Championship Series (best-of-3) will start at 2 PM today at Bucknell on ESPN+.

The Southland began last week in an 8-team, 2-bracket double elimination format with Lamar and McNeese advancing to the best-of-3 Southland Conference Championship Series. Lamar will host the series starting on Thursday.

The championships will wrap up on Sunday; there will no doubt be alterations to some of the schedules due to weather. Chad will do his best to keep everyone updated on the brackets. The 64-team NCAA Baseball Tournament will be announced on Memorial Day on ESPN.
