Tar Heels prepare for familiar foe

Posted Jun 12, 2013
The first thing UNC pitching coach Scott Forbes said when he came into the locker room was that he didn’t have to do a scouting report on the next opponent. The Tar Heels are well acquainted with N.C. State — and especially lefthander Carlos Rodon (9-0, 1.57), who they will face in their opener Sunday at TD Ameritrade Park (3 p.m., ESPN2) as UNC makes its sixth appearance in Omaha in eight years.
