UNC Baseball one of five hosts with tougher No. 2 seed in its region than deserved

Posted May 29, 2024
UNC is one of five regional hosts in the NCAA baseball tournament that drew a No. 2 seed with a much-higher RPI than is logical for its seed. Granted, RPI is only one metric the selection committee uses. No. 4-seed UNC should have the 13th-best RPI No. 2 seed, but got reigning national champion LSU with the eighth-best RPI among No. 2 seeds. (Tar Heel Tribune)
