As North Carolina baseball coach Scott Forbes studied Arkansas ahead of the NCAA Tournament super regionals, he said the Razorbacks brought another team to mind.
“When I’ve watched them play, they’ve reminded me a lot of us,” Forbes said Friday. “They play hard. They’re fundamentally sound. A lot of respect for what they’ve done.”
The Tar Heels (42-20) host Arkansas (41-19) in the best-of-3 series opener on Saturday at Boshamer Stadium (11 a.m., ESPN), with the winner advancing to the College World Series.
