Once again, Virginia is hosting a regional at the NCAA baseball tournament. After a hot finish to the regular season, the Cavaliers faltered in the ACC tournament and did not land a national seed; that was expected. After speculation that Navy and/or UConn would come to Charlottesville and that UVa would be paired with LSU, none of those came to pass.
Instead, the Hoos will host No. 2 seed Bryant, No. 3 seed East Carolina, and fourth-seeded William & Mary this weekend at Davenport Field. UVa will play the Tribe on Friday at 1 p.m. ECU won the series against Virginia in February.
