No, actually the roles were reversed last year and you being a Houston homer should know that.
Rice only needed to win one game last year but choked away two to Oregon State.
Carolina won straight through to the championship series last year.
This year, Rice only needed to win one game against Carolina, a team in which they killed less than a week earlier, and couldn't.
Oregon State won straight through to the championship series this year.
Carolina had exponentially better pitching last year than OSU, and also better hitting, but they couldn't field a bowling ball rolling towards this. The offense is there this year, the fielding is a ton better, but the pitching isn't where it was last year. If UNC can get some starting pitching, they've got a great chance.
