Lexington Regional bracket, schedule, and television information

NC State begins regional play this Friday in Lexington, Kentucky, where the Kentucky Wildcats are the top seed and host.

A team can win a regional in as few as three games, but any climb out of the loser’s bracket—excuse me, “elimination bracket”—would require five games.
