UVa has had a fairly easy route to the final. Vanderbilt is good but no other ranked team was in the mix but UVa....good chance they end our ACC record.
Not a big UVA fan, but I freely admit they do a nice job with their Olympic sports, and they play by the rules better than most.
I hope UVA wins.
Also interesting that the 2 final teams are both respected for academics.
Go 'Dores!

I was told Ole Miss is doing this--decided they couldn't win the SEC in football and started putting big $$ in baseball.Virginia and Vandy both do what Wake could do with commitment to baseball. Each use academic money to create less financial costs for baseball players. I bet both Virginia and Vandy end up with nearly 20-25 full scholarships in baseball. Completely within the rules in minor sports. Thus is reason for the deep pitching staffs at both schools. Very few on their rosters pay much in tuition. Tuition is covered with baseball money (11.7 scholarships) and added academic aid. We could do the same if baseball was important to the school and if we had a larger endowment. Duke in on the same trail as Virginia and Vandy.

We don't need a bigger endowment to do that. Ron "Facilities" Wellman just decided it made more sense to spend millions upgrading a way too big baseball facility. Basically, a preview of what we'll be seeing with the basketball program.
Sounds like you've not seen the renderings of planned remodeling to the baseball stadium that will result in about 1,000 fewer seats down each base line. Gonna look nice.
AIR, the plan for Joel among other things calls for about 800 less seats. Both venues were purchased for basically peanuts versus alternatives.
Kirby absolutely losing it.
