No.
That was the answer of the NCAA women’s basketball selection committee to the two Triangle teams that were “on the bubble” for the 64-team field.
The snub marked the first time since 1988 that neither N.C. State, Duke nor North Carolina was selected to the bracket.
UNC (14-18) wasn’t expecting to be selected to the 64-team field after its worst finish in a quarter-century.
But the Wolfpack (20-11) had a Selection Show party at Sammy’s Tap and Grill with about 75 attendees while the Blue Devils (20-12) watched in the Legacy Room in the Cameron Indoor Stadium Complex.
