HEELS ARE HOSTING!!!!

[Carolina151]

Postseason in Carmichael again!!!! It deserved its own thread!!!

 

[Murphy101]

Congrats Ladies!!

 

[GaHeelFan]

Congrats to the ladies! #GDTBATH!!

 

[HeadsCarolina]

No excuses not to have EVERY seat filled in Carmichael this coming week. Let's go!

 

[2-6 Cumberland]

Anything Less would be Uncivilized.

Let's Go Heels

 

[tarboy]

Lets go Tar Heels! Bring the A game!

 

[UNC76]

Should be a festive atmosphere at the selection show viewing party with the team tomorrow night. I was concerned things might be a bit glum if we already knew we weren't hosting.

 

[UNC76]

I know they are known primarily as UConn, but it still threw me off at first when I saw dook instead of "Connecticut" as the first team revealed.

 

[oldwell]

Let’s go

 

[Carolina151]

Emails with seat locations have been sent out already. Expect general public tickets to go on sale soon

 

[Carolina151]

Right on cue. Buy your tickets now!

 

[Jriv23]

Praise the Lord. I am so glad that we did not get screwed. Go Heels!

 

[UNC76]

Creme has Maryland in Chapel Hill.

I still don't get the love for Ohio State. Obviously I'm biased, but their resume isn't any better than ours.

 

[kyleheel30]

Shocking

 

[mpaer]

It is hard to say how happy I am that we host
Dream come true for the fans, the Team , the Coaches

 

[kjcooper]

Great opportunity to excel and reach the sweet sixteen, which will assist in recruiting and exposure.

 

[CCHeel1]

We definitely need to use this opportunity as a building block for the future. Play hard and get to the sweet sixteen, then recruit some great athletes. That's what we need to get to the next level, IMO. It's what separates us from the top teams.

 

[heels2012]

Assuming the women’s tourney will have games played during the day on Friday and Monday? Hoping to make it over this weekend, but work prevents me from going during the day so likely will have to purchase single session tickets. Would be great to time it not to conflict with baseball series but know UNC doesn’t control that.

 

[Mtns2Sea]

There's a lot more home baseball games to be played. I'd say let WBB have the nod on this one. Plus, who doesn't want to be in Carmichael for an NCAA first/second round NCAA game?

 

[UNC76]

If we get Fri / Sun, baseball is locked in to play at 8 pm Friday due to TV. Sat / Mon would work better to alleviate any baseball conflicts.

 

[3397char]

For attendance I would prefer a baseball conflict over a MBB conflict

 

[1stGenerationHeel]

Do we know our Friday time yet?

 

[Carolina151]

Do we know our Friday time yet?

Not yet. I’d assume we take the 2nd game for a start time between 7:00 and 9:00. No games on the west coast

 

[HeadsCarolina]

5:30 Friday tip time. Get to Carmichael early!

 

[Carolina151]

Do we know our Friday time yet?

5:30. Maryland before us.

 

[UNC76]

5:30 Friday tip time. Get to Carmichael early!

Perfect... I can go straight to Boshamer for baseball at 8.

 

[Jriv23]

As Jimmy V said, we have to win and advance. Go Heels!

 

[ncgirlinfl]

Perfect... I can go straight to Boshamer for baseball at 8.

That's my plan, as well.

 

[UNC76]

Looks like there are still some reserved seats left "upstairs" in sections 209-212, and I'm guessing plenty left in the GA sections.

 

[UNC76]

I once dubbed Maryland coach Brenda Frese the ratface of women's hoops for the way she constantly worked and berated the refs. Supposedly she has mellowed a bit since giving birth to twins, but that remains to be seen.

 

[3397char]

Anyone know the Sunday game time?

 

[UNC76]

Most likely won't be announced until all of the Friday games are done. That lets dSPN put the best games in their preferred time slots.

 

[Carolina151]

Anyone know the Sunday game time?

Will not know until late Friday or early Saturday. All dependent on matchups. No west coast game. Farthest west is TCU and Texas. A potential Carolina and Maryland is a headliner and would likely get a good slot.

 

[Carolina151]

The Friday games by two highest seeds are:
-(4) Carolina, (5) Maryland
-(4) OU, (5) Michigan St
-(3) TCU, (6) Washington
-(4) Minnesota, (5) Ole Miss
-(3) Duke, (6) Baylor
-(2) LSU, (7) Texas Tech
-(1) Texas, 8/9 Oregon, VT
-(2) Michigan, (7) State, (10) Tennessee

Carolina and Maryland could get the prime time slot on Sunday if both win Friday.

 

[3397char]

Frustrating because i would like to buy tickets but I cant do a Sunday night game.

 

[Mtns2Sea]

Looks like our first game will be broadcast on ESPNews.

[Bucwild88]

Carolina is 15 (aka the third 4 seed) in the final NCAA seedings. Dook was the highest 3 seed with Louisville behind them.

 

[Wildcatpride97]

The Friday games by two highest seeds are:
-(4) Carolina, (5) Maryland
-(4) OU, (5) Michigan St
-(3) TCU, (6) Washington
-(4) Minnesota, (5) Ole Miss
-(3) Duke, (6) Baylor
-(2) LSU, (7) Texas Tech
-(1) Texas, 8/9 Oregon, VT
-(2) Michigan, (7) State, (10) Tennessee

Carolina and Maryland could get the prime time slot on Sunday if both win Friday.

For reference, last year for the Sunday 2nd round had 6 games on ESPN (noon through 10pm, starting every 2 hours), and then 2 games on ABC at 1pm and 3pm. I don't think there are any west coast teams that could host that 10pm east coast time slot this year on Sunday (though they did force Oklahoma and TCU there in the 1st round, for a 9pm CST start), so they may have to bump a game over to espn2. ABC will have the two "biggest" games (probably LSU and Texas, if they both advance, though Michigan/Tennessee could supplant one of those), and then the rest of the games could fall anywhere from noon to probably 9pm local time.

 

[23UNC]

Some funny stuff from the Western Illinois coach

 

[ncjmayo]

Unfortunate timing for students to be on Spring Break - will be on the rest of the fanbase to bring the energy.
