As the lopsided NBA and Stanley Cup finals series have largely been lopsided bores, the 2024 College World Series has provided some much-needed excitement and entertainment for sports fans across the country, with the first three games of college baseball’s marquee event ending with walk-off hits.
The best news? It’s not even halfway over.

The CWS continues Monday with a pair of games at Charles Schwab Field Omaha in Omaha, Nebraska, with some teams inching closer to their championship aspirations — while others face the possibility of those dreams getting extinguished.
No. 10 NC State will square off against Florida in the first matchup, with each team coming off a heartbreaking, one-run loss in their respective CWS openers on Saturday: the Wolfpack to No. 2 Kentucky and the Gators to No. 3 Texas A&M. The loser of the matchup will be knocked out of the double-elimination tournament.
On the other, more enviable side of the bracket, No. 2 national seed Kentucky and No. 3 Texas A&M will meet in a battle of SEC foes. Despite competing in the same conference, Monday’s game will be the first matchup between the Wildcats and Aggies this season.
