What channel is UNC-Holy Cross on? Time, TV schedule for Chapel Hill Regional Opener
What channel is UNC-Holy Cross on? Time, TV schedule for Chapel Hill Regional Opener Here's all the broadcasting information you need to know for the UNC baseball team's NCAA Tournament opener against Holy Cross. The UNC baseball team is just moments away from kicking off its NCAA Tournament run, which begins Friday, May 30 against Holy Cross at 12 p.m. in the Chapel Hill Regional. North Carolina (42-12, 18-11), which finished third in a loaded ACC during the regular season, captured its ninth ACC Tournament Championship with a 14-4 drubbing of Clemson. The Diamond Heels enacted revenge on Florida State during the ACC Semis, winning 7-5 thanks to two ninth-inning runs, but not before taking care of Boston College during a 7-2 win. Holy Cross (31-25, 17-8) beat Army West Point twice, 12-1 and 8-7, to capture the Patriot League Championship. The Crusaders won't be a pushover, despite playing in a smaller conference – and will look to play spoiler in Chapel Hill. UNC, which should win today's game comfortably, has all the tools to make a deep run. North Carolina sports arguably the best pitching staff across college baseball, led by ACC Pitcher of the Year Jake Knapp, plus a starting lineup that generates the perfect combination of speed and power. The 2024 Diamond Heels composed an uber-talented squad, led by Vance Honeycutt, but nearly lost in their Chapel Hill Regional opener. Third baseman Gavin Gallaher played hero in against LIU in that nightcap, blasting a walk-off grand slam and keeping UNC in the winner's bracket. Heading to Boshamer Stadium today?

Holy Cross did beat the likes of fellow NCAA Tournament teams Auburn and Binghamton, but don't have UNC's resume. North Carolina will run into some early hiccups, as I see most tournament favorites try to do too much early on, but settle down by the third inning and win comfortably.

Lehigh University women's basketball team ready for matchup against Duke in NCAA Tournament
The countdown to tip-off was on at Grace Hall in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday night. "We're going to win. And that's the way this team has approached every single game," Lehigh University women's basketball coach Addie Micir said. Micir isn't surprised this team punched a ticket to the Big Dance. The Mountain Hawks will head to North Carolina as the No. 15 seed to face No. 2 seed Duke University on Friday night at Cameron Indoor Stadium. "We played Michigan early on and Northwestern early on and we told our team, this is in preparation for the tournament," Micir said. On Sunday, the Mountain Hawks scored the program's fifth Patriot League Championship, edging out Army, and securing their spot in the NCAA Tournament. The team finished the season 27-6 overall. "I think our campus is getting behind us a lot. The community. All my professors are saying hi to me, saying congrats, so it's been really fun!" fifth-year senior guard Maddie Albrecht said. "Playing with these girls every day has been like a dream come true. I think they make it so much fun," senior guard and team captain Colleen McQuillen said. Team practices started last summer at Grace Hall, so Tuesday night — in the same spot — marked a full circle moment for Micir, McQuillen and her teammates. "It just goes to show that when everybody buys in and when we all have that hard work ethic — things can happen," McQuillen said. The team flies out Wednesday afternoon.
