USC-North Carolina Preview

The Trojans enter Saturday’s game with an overall record of 48-16 with a mark of 20-10 in Big Ten conference play. USC made their second straight NCAA Tournament appearance this season, earning the No. 2 seed in the College Station Regional hosted by the top seed in the regional, the Texas A&M Aggies.

After USC lost their opening game in that double-elimination regional, they caught fire. The Trojans won four straight games in three days, beating Lamar, Texas State, and then Texas A&M twice in the regional championship to advance to the Super Regional.

North Carolina is the No. 5 ranked team in the country and came into this Super Regional as the heavy favorite over USC with a record of 48-12-1 and an ACC conference record of 22-8. The Tar Heels are now on the brink of elimination and will have to beat USC in back-to-back games to survive this best-of-three series.

According to DraftKings Sportsbook, North Carolina is favored to win game two with odds of -200. USC is +154 to win outright.

Despite North Carolina being the ones on the ropes in game two, they still have better odds than USC to win the national championship. The Tar Heels have the fifth best odds at +750. USC is behind them with the sixth best odds at +950.

USC is one of the most historic college baseball programs in the country. They have won 12 national championships, with the last one coming in 1998.

From 2016-2024, USC failed to make it to the NCAA Tournment. They have now qualified in two consecutive seasons. Last year, they were knocked out in the opening regional hosted by the Oregon State Beavers in Corvallis.

Now, USC is 27 outs away from getting back to the College World Series for the first time since 2001.
