The Virginia Cavaliers are back to where they were just a year ago, hosting a super regional with a chance to go to Omaha for the third time in four seasons. Starting Friday, they will be playing a best-of-three series against Kansas State, who, on the other hand, is not used to being in this position. The three-seed out of the Fayetteville regional will be looking to get to the College World Series for the first time in program history.
Per UVA Twitter’s unofficial statistician Danny Neckel, this will be the first time the ‘Hoos and Wildcats meet in football, men’s basketball, or baseball.
