Top-ranked North Carolina, the two-time College World Series runner-up, was one of four ACC schools selected Sunday as regional hosts for the NCAA tournament.

The Tar Heels joined conference champion Miami, Florida State and North Carolina State as ACC hosts. Each of the 16 host schools are guaranteed berths in the 64-team tournament, which starts Friday.

The Big 12 was second among conferences with three regional schools: Nebraska, Oklahoma State and Texas A&M.
