ACC tournament
The ACC will do its best to keep Virginia baseball fans distracted at work today and tomorrow.
Beginning play today as the reigning ACC baseball champion from a year ago, there could be a strong temptation for Virginia coach Brian O’Connor to be thinking about Sunday’s championship game.
