Kentucky vs. NC State College World Series preview
Kentucky entered the college baseball postseason as the second-seeded team with a 40-14 regular season record. The Wildcats were placed in the Lexington Regional, where they defeated Western Michigan, Illinois, and Indiana State to advance to the super regionals. At the super regionals, they were too strong for Oregon State, progressing to the College World Series with relative ease.
On the other hand, NC State ended the regular season with a 33-20 mark and was the tenth seed. They progressed to the Raleigh Regional, defeating Bryant, South Carolina, and James Madison to advance to the super regionals. NC State defeated Georgia in a very close game to advance.
This is Kentucky's first appearance in Omaha, and they'll be looking to make the most out of their debut trip. The program was among the best in the regular season, and they'll fancy their chances of going all the way.
NC State is making its fourth tournament appearance and first since 2021. The program might not have had the best regular season, but it'll be a mistake to dismiss its chances, especially after its upset win over Georgia in the super regionals.
