Tar Heels facing hot team

Posted Jun 14, 2008

LSU's 21-7 victory over UC Irvine on Monday was so dominating that North Carolina coach Mike Fox said he had to turn off the television. Don't make that mistake Sunday night when the No. 2 seed Tar Heels (51-12) open the College World Series against the No. 7 Tigers -- even if Carolina is winning big in the final inning. In all, LSU is 25-1 over their past 26 games. Eighteen of those are come-from- behind wins. (Raleigh News & Observer)
