## Resource

Michael Malone is in the midst of putting together his first UNC roster and it projects to be MASSIVE from a height standpoint, but less so from a girth-standpoint. Who will be in the starting 5? And how do you adjust if either Matt Able or Alexdros Samodurov aren't on that roster? What is the most interesting starting 5 matchup? The D1 Baseball NCAA Tournament field was announced on Monday. Carolina will be the No. 5 national seed. Will they advance past regionals? It's time for the baseball Selection Committee to do more! These regions have to be better balanced!
