Cavs Must Conquer SEC to Reach Baseball Goals

     The Cavaliers roll out the red carpet for a 5th straight NCAA baseball regional.  But they are coming off an ACC tournament experience that wasn't exactly a dominate one. 
One win in three games by what was the number one team in the nation for almost two months leaves the Cavs hungry for more.   And with a seasoned veteran team that's seen the postseason before,  Virginia feels ready despite the less than spectacular finish.  At 44-13 in the season, UVA is the number 3 National seed after a stellar regular season.
       The 20th-ranked Razorbacks are 38-23 and making a 13th consecutive NCAA appearance out of the SEC---where a record ten teams are into the tournament. The Southeastern conference has produced nine national champs and seven runnerups since 1990.  A regional win by UVA would mean a possible matchup..with 2011 World Series champ South Carolina out of the SEC.
