What channel is UNC-Arizona on? Time, TV schedule for Chapel Hill Super Regional Opener
What channel is UNC-Arizona on? Time, TV schedule for Chapel Hill Super Regional Opener Here's all the broadcasting information you need to know for Friday's Chapel Hill Super Regional Opener between UNC and Arizona. There's just 16 teams remaining in the 2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament, with UNC lucky enough to be amongst that Sweet 16. On Friday, in the Chapel Hill Super Regional from Boshamer Stadium, North Carolina will continue its postseason journey against the Arizona Wildcats. Arizona (42-18) swept its way through the Eugene (Ore.) Regional and extended its winning streak to eight games, while the Diamond Heels won the Chapel Hill Regional with a 14-4 drubbing of Oklahoma. UNC looked well on the way to a sweep of its own Regional, thanks to beating Holy Cross 4-0 and Oklahoma 11-6, but losing Sunday's rematch to the Sooners forced a winner-take-all game Monday. North Carolina struck early in its third game against the Sooners, with Hunter Stokely mashing a 2-run, 2-out double and Alex Madera grounding a single into the outfield – both in the first inning. Oklahoma responded with its first two runs in the second, only for the Diamond Heels to scoring the four eventual, game-winning runs in the third. The Wildcats started their hot streak to close out their regular season, taking the final two of three games from the Houston Cougars, to win their final series. Arizona's run continued through the Big 12 Tournament, with victories against BYU (4-1), top-seeded and fellow Super Regional team West Virginia (12-1), plus a 2-1 closeout against TCU in the Championship matchup. UNC opened its ACC Tournament run with a come-from-behind, 7-2 win over Boston College. North Carolina dispatched Florida State in the semifinals, 7-5, then overwhelmed Clemson with a 14-4 domination in the ACC Championship.

In Monday's winner-take all game against Oklahoma, the Diamond Heels dominated in a 14-4 victory. Arizona is red-hot right now, winning its past eight games, but UNC presents a significantly tougher challenge than Utah Valley or Cal Poly. Simultaneously, the Wildcats will present a greater threat than Oklahoma or Holy Cross. With a packed Boshamer Stadium on Friday afternoon, combined with ace Jake Knapp likely taking the mound, North Carolina squeaks out a low-scoring win in its Super Regional opener.

How social media reacted to UNC beating Oklahoma, advancing to Super Regionals
How social media reacted to UNC beating Oklahoma, advancing to Super Regionals Social media was extremely happy for the UNC baseball team after Monday's dominant victory. With their 14-4 drubbing of Oklahoma in Monday's Chapel Hill Regional winner-take-all game, the North Carolina Tar Heels (45-12) will host a Super Regional for the second-consecutive season – this time, against the 4-time College World Series champion Arizona Wildcats. With its victory over the Sooners, UNC also advances to the Super Regionals by beating an SEC team – in an elimination game – for the second straight year. North Carolina began its run through the Chapel Hill Regional with a closer-than-expected, 4-0 win over Holy Cross on Friday. The Diamond Heels won their first of two games against the Sooners on Saturday, lost a 9-5 rematch on Sunday, then finished their job on Monday. UNC started Monday's scoring party with a 2-run, first-inning double from first baseman Hunter Stokely, then added an insurance run thanks to Alex Madera's single. After giving up two runs in the second inning, North Carolina responded with a 4-spot in the third. It wouldn't be a Chapel Hill Regional unless Gavin Gallaher takes over, with the Diamond Heels' star third baseman saving his best postseason performance for Monday afternoon. Gallaher recorded four hits in six at-bats against Oklahoma pitching, including two home runs and four RBIs, while scoring four times. North Carolina has not made consecutive CWS appearances since 2006-2009, when it finished as the '06 and '07 runner-ups. Now, UNC is two victories away from a second-straight trip. As you can imagine, social media was buzzing after Monday's victory. Check out some of the reactions from across the college baseball world below: The Diamond Heels celebrate It Just Means the ACC! Oklahoma skipper with the ultimate postgame compliment This fan is STOKED The final call! A postgame look into Boshamer Stadium Remaining NIL money for baseball should go to UNC's all-star Gallaher was RED-HOT in the Chapel Hill Regional A balanced team fares well for postseason performance The bullpen game worked wonders UNC to face Arizona in Super it happen?
