University of North Carolina head baseball coach Mike Fox had the following comments on Carolina's selection to the 1999 NCAA Tournament:
"We're obviously very pleased to have been selected. It's been a goal of ours all season to make the NCAA Tournament. We're pleased to be given an opportunity to continue our season and keep playing. I think we're deserving of a bid because of what we did all year long. We wish we'd played better down the stretch, but not every team can enter the NCAA Tournament red hot. Now every team starts from scratch and we want to get out there and play."
