Summary
North Carolina spent Saturday recovering after its 6-2 College World Series opening win over Ole Miss, using its first Omaha off-day to rest before Sunday night’s game against West Virginia.
8 to 10 hours of sleep were a priority, coach Scott Forbes said, before the Tar Heels headed to a shortened practice focused on stretching, batting work, throwing and weight-room recovery.
Sunday’s 7 p.m. ET matchup will also be shaped by Saturday scouting, with coaches set to brief players on West Virginia and the game plan after practice.
Omaha’s built-in breaks differ from the Regional and Super Regional rounds, giving North Carolina more time to manage soreness, stay fresh and prepare for a deeper postseason run.
