The brackets are set, and the Triangle is going dancing. Here’s when to watch our local teams in the men’s and women’s NCAA championship tournaments during March Madness.
NC State
No. 7 NC State women will play the No. 10 Tennessee on Friday, March 20 at 8 p.m. The Pack met the Lady Vols in November in Greensboro and won 80-77 — let’s keep it going.
The No. 11 Wolfpack men kick things off today in the First Four play-in tournament against No. 11 Texas at 9:15 p.m. It’s going to be a long road for the red and white.
Duke
After winning the ACC tournament without two key players, the No. 1 Blue Devils men are the ones to watch this season. The road starts against No. 16 Siena on Thursday, March 19 at 2:50 p.m. in Greenville, South Carolina — perfect for a road trip.
No. 3 Duke women are also the reigning ACC champs, and they’ll play against No. 14 Charleston at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Friday, March 20 at 11:30 a.m.
UNC
The No. 4 UNC women will play the No. 13 Western Illinois Leathernecks in Chapel Hill on Friday, March 20 at 5:30 p.m.
The No. 6 UNC men will also play their first game in Greenville, South Carolina on Thursday, March 19 against No. 11 VCU — it’ll be a while before the Tar Heels and Blue Devils could meet in the tournament, but anything’s possible in March.
