What The Numbers Say About South Carolina’s Regional Competition In Raleigh

South Carolina’s baseball team found out on Monday afternoon that they’ll be playing in Raleigh, NC, the home of the NC State Wolfpack, in the NCAA Regional round. Along with the Wolfpack, the Gamecocks are joined by the No. 4-seeded Bryant Bulldogs and No. 3-seeded James Madison Dukes, Carolina’s first opponent, in the grouping.
