The 2009 Boston College baseball team is one of the greatest teams ever assembled in Chestnut Hill. It clinched the program's first NCAA Tournament berth since 1967 and advanced to the field of 64 for the first time since the bracket introduced a standardized format in 1999. The Eagles went to the Austin Regional that year, hosted by Texas, and scored a first round win over Texas State before rewriting college baseball history in a 25-inning marathon against the Longhorns.
It gets lost in the shuffle how those games wouldn't have happened without the ACC Tournament. BC entered the final weekend of the regular season in a three-team battle with both Duke and Virginia Tech but won its way into the conference round robin.
