TheSabre.com presents The Preferred Walk-Ons Podcast, a college sports podcast through the lens of the ACC. Michael McGraw, a University of Virginia graduate and fan, and Michael Shutt, a life-long NC State fan, both grew up watching the ACC and have insights on the history and present of the conference … plus plenty of healthy ABC – (Anybody But Carolina) bias.
It is Christmas in June for Virginia sports fans. The baseball team advanced to the Super Regionals and will host second round games for the first time since 2016. Additionally, Reece Beekman’s decision to withdraw from the NBA Draft has fundamentally changed the outlook for UVA basketball. In this episode:
- Our impressions from the first weekend of the NCAA Baseball tournament (0:00-9:00)
- The outlook of Virginia basketball following Reece Beekman’s decision to return for another season (9:00-26:38)
- How other ACC basketball teams will look in the fall following NBA Draft decisions (26:38-34:26)
