Recalling last year's NCAA tourney loss, UNC baseball not taking its regional for granted

It's been hard to forget. The way it ended so quickly.

As a No. 2 national seed last season, North Carolina's baseball team was a favorite to win its regional. Their aspirations were to possibly win it all.

But Davidson, which came into the regional as the heavy underdogs, put a stop to that. The Wildcats beat the Tar Heels twice, including in the regional finals 2-1, sending UNC home with nothing left to play for.

"I think the one thing we learned from last year is a national seed doesn't really matter if you can't get past your regional," junior outfielder Brandon Riley said.
