There is a lot of reasonable gripe about the formatting of the ACC Tournament for baseball. Twelve of the conference’s teams get in, but losers on Tuesday have to play a meaningless game immediately afterward. For Boston College, that game comes against the Tar Heels.
NC State won the first Pool B contest yesterday, beating Boston College. The Wolfpack now await the Tar Heels on Friday for the right to advance to the semifinals on Saturday. Today’s game between Carolina and BC is meaningless.
Should Carolina lose today (which they shouldn’t), they still advance with a win over the Wolfpack on Friday.
