Chapel Hill Regional Opponent Capsules
For the second straight season, Chapel Hill will host an NCAA regional. Below, a glance at the three teams Carolina will be matched up with this weekend.
No. 2 Purdue
Location: West Lafayette, IN
Record: 37-19, 17-6 Big Ten
Bid: At-large
With its at-large bid following a strong conference performance, Purdue will be playing in just its third-ever NCAA tournament. The last two appearances were in 1987 and 2012. The Boilermakers won seven straight games at the end of the season before falling to Minnesota in the Big Ten Championship Game last weekend. The team went 21-3 in its last 24 games including conference tournament play.
