Conference Winning Pct. - Baseball (gambling)


Over the course of its first five BIG EAST seasons (1996-2000), Notre Dame ranks first in the 11-member conference with: a .705 overall winning percentage (215-90, Rutgers is second at .634), a .736 BIG EAST regular-season winning percentage (81-29, Rutgers is second at .713) and a .702 winning percentage in combined BIG EAST regular-season and tournament Games (92-39, Rutgers is second at .690). St. John' s owns the best BIG EAST Tournament winning pct. during the past five seasons (.600, 10-6), followed by Notre Dame at .524 (11-10). The double-elimination tournament has been the ultimate bugaboo for Notre Dame, with the same team providing the Irish losses during each of the first three seasons (WVU in ' 96, Villanova in ' 97, Rutgers in ' 98) before the Irish were beaten by complete game-efforts from Seton Hall and Providence in ' 99, followed by a pair of losses to Boston College in 2000. DOUBLE-DOUBLE - The 1999 Irish Baseball and Softball teams combined for an .878 (36-5) winning percentage in BIG EAST regular-season play, the best combined winning percentage by one school since the league began sponsoring Softball in ' 92. The Softball team went 16-0 for the first undefeated season in BIG EAST history and the Baseball team went 20-5 (no Other BIG EAST Baseball team ever has totaled more than 18 wins). Notre Dame became the first BIG EAST school ever to post the top regular-season winning percentages in Baseball and Softball in the same season.
