CONGRATS to the UNC players for the chapel hill regional all-tournament team ... and especially Mr.Eric on MOP

The ability to not be phased by the big names, such as Trey Yesavage, Kyson Witherspoon, Jamie Arnold, Joey Volini, Derek Clark and the list goes on, has been a calling card of Jesse Weirzbicki’s lineup preparation.
Glad Colin got a nod, too. Obvious HR heroics, but his catching was also a nice safety blanket all weekend.
We will host the Super as well, either against Texas AM or Southern Cal. They play tonight at 9 pm
Paulie's words might come across as cockiness to some, but it ain't when you back it up. I love this team's confidence. Got to have that "swagger" to win the big prizes.
Yep, Colin's been terrific. Hope Macon gets well enough to get behind the plate soon. May need him there some.
Larry Johnson once said about Michael Jordan that he didn't talk trash. He talked the truth.
Because we haven't won it all, there's this narrative that UNC baseball constantly chokes in the postseason, like we constantly lose to lesser teams more than other programs.
It's happened a few times, but since 2006, we've hosted 14 regionals and won 12 of them (85.7%), only losing in 2012 and 2017. When I did a deep dive a couple years ago, I think 1 seeds only win ~65% of regionals. That is performing way above expectation in this round.

Not until the Davidson loss(es) in 2017, IMO, did any such perception exist. What remains of it dates directly from that most unhappy event in Chapel Hill.
