#1 Virginia enters the 2010 postseason in a vastly different place than it entered the 2009 postseason.
The ’09 Cavs had apparently played their way out of the strong postseason run that had seemed to be in the cards with the hot start and a top-10 national ranking most of the season with struggles down the stretch in ACC play. Then came their magical run through the ACC Tournament in Greensboro toward the ACC title, the upset feelings over being shipped out west to play at #1 Cal-Irvine, the win out there, the thrilling comeback in the Super Regionals at Ole Miss, and the program’s first College World Series appearance.
