Tobacco Road has been a fixture in the NCAA tournament over the years. "The Triangle" -- Duke, North Carolina and NC State -- is usually well represented -- or at least represented -- in the bracket, but will it end in 2016?
Since 1988, at least one of the Blue Devils, Tar Heels or Wolfpack has made the tournament. That year also happened to be the last season in which the tournament included only 40 teams before moving to 48 in 1989 (the NCAA went to the current 64-team model in 1994).
