Hot on the heels of an ACC Baseball Championship win over rival NC State on Sunday, the Tar Heels crowded into the locker room at Boshamer Stadium to see where their NCAA Tournament fates would have them. A month ago the wait would be a lot more nerve-wracking, but with the ACC automatic bid and wins in 15 of their last 17, it was just a matter of where they would go, not if.
At the end of the Championship the Heels went from fringe tournament team to the tenth overall seed. That seed is enough to earn them their own regional this weekend, starting Friday.
