For Cavs, a Familiar Result Against FSU
May 8, 2004
Walking around UVa Baseball Stadium on Friday night, it was obvious how much things have changed in Virginia’s baseball program. A team that used to draw a few dozen fans had a record crowd of 2,430 on hand for the opener of a three-game series with Florida State. There was a buzz, an electricity in the stadium that was the result of the team’s improbable success throughout the season.
Unfortunately, one thing did not change: The Seminoles still own the Cavaliers. The 8-0 rout was UVa’s seventh straight loss against FSU and 20th in their past 22 meetings.
Talk about buzzkill.

Baseball Report: 25th-Ranked Hoos Go to 19-5 on the Season
March 25, 2004
On May 12-14, the Cavs swept a three game series from the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, then No. 17 in the country, in Atlanta and proved to naysayers that the team’s early season success was legitimate. It was the first time Virginia ever swept Georgia Tech in a three game series.
“Were going into every game to win, we’re not going to back down from anybody,” Virginia coach Brian O’Connor said. “In college athletics, I think sometimes you get situations where history has told you, or what you’ve experienced in places in the past, that deep down you go in as a player and say, ‘boy, we’d like to win, but can we really pull this off?’ I really believe that these kids believe with 100% of everything they have in their body, that no matter where we go or who the opponent is, that we are going to win that game."

O’Connor: Omaha is the Goal (UVa Baseball Preview)
February 19, 2004
To many of the players on the Virginia baseball team, Omaha, Nebraska is just another city on the U.S. map. To UVa’s new baseball coach Brian O’Connor, it is a familiar place and a place that he would like to frequently visit. Not as a tourist — as a coach.
For O’Connor, making it to Omaha and the College World Series is not a dream — it is a reality. O’Connor, who took over as the head coach of the baseball program at Virginia in July, knows what it takes to get to Omaha. He made it there as player at Creighton in 1991 and as an assistant coach at Notre Dame in 2002.
O’Connor enters his first season at Virginia with two goals in mind — to build a solid baseball program at UVa and to make a return trip to the College World Series in Omaha.

Donte Minter: The Silent Assassin
December 1, 2003
Donte Minter will never be the most athletic player on the court. He’s not going to jump out of the gym or do eye-opening things with the ball. He doesn’t get a lot of touches in Virginia’s set offense and a casual fan might forget that he’s on the court. Yet he just finds a way to score, and the one place he does stand out is the stat sheet.

November 30, 1999
 There were more than a few frazzled heads in the crowd when Casey Lambert emerged from the Virginia bullpen with one out in the seventh inning of a 3-3 tie against Oregon State on Saturday night. But UVa coach Brian O'Connor knew what he wanted to do if the Hoos ended up in that type of situation before the first pitch was ever thrown. He was going to Lambert.
