I'll piggy back off of Jarrod's thread instead of making a new one for tomorrow's preview.

Why are we the road team?

I may be wrong, but i'm not sure if that has been set as of yet. At least I have not seen it posted.

ETA: Disregard what I had said. Based on the graphic for the games I believe UNC is the road team for Wednesday's game and home team for Friday's game. My guess is those are set based on the assumption of the higher seeds winning the early games.

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Something to watch tomorrow will be the weather. There is a chance for storms tomorrow that could effect how the games go schedule wise.

Thank you for keeping all informed!

Perhaps because Pitt was the road team in their first game, #tarheel0910 ?

Maybe, but the higher seed should always be the home team. Another weird thing about the setup of the tournament.

UNC is Road team by draw. Every team is guaranteed two games, one as the home team and one as the road team.

Yes Pitt was the road team vs GT

If we were to beat Pitt but lose to GT then all 3 teams would be 1-1, so how can they know the winner is in the semifinals?? I’m confused

In the case of a three way tie, the highest seed advances. Win or lose, our game with GT is meaningless.

What sucks is I won’t be able to watch it. Blacked out on Watch ESPN and the NBC Washington will have Capitals stuff on. Got to watch WF/UofL. But has been nothing but Washington teams news. Even though it say College Baseball ☹️ Times like now is when I miss Direct TV

Thanks Jarrod for the info

Our game will not start on time. Clemson just put 17 (yea 17, 4 HRs in the inning) on the board in the 4th inning. It’s the 5th now

Holy aluminum bats, Batman!

 

[Go Heels #1]

It is on NESN here in Tampa, if it ever starts.

 

[Jarrod Hardy]

This Clemson/ND game means nothing it’s a blowout say it’s a run rule and get to UNC/Pitt before the rain comes back.

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Carolina-Pittsburgh set to begin at approximately 8:15 pm.

Clemson crushing Notre Dame took forever!
