In most of the last week and change, it seemed highly unlikely that North Carolina baseball would be here hosting a super regional, and yet here they are.
For one, while they got to host a regional as the #10 overall seed, they potentially could’ve been matched up against the #7 overall seed Oklahoma State. The Cowboys would’ve had hosting privileges for super regionals should both teams advance.
It then seemed unlikely that UNC would advance when they dropped the winner’s bracket game to VCU. That meant that they would have to take the long road, winning three games in two days, including two against the Rams, who at that point had won 17 in a row.
