After a four-year absence, UNC women’s basketball is back in the NCAA Tournament.
The Tar Heels (18-14) were given the #9 seed in the Greensboro Region, and will take on #8 Cal in Waco, Texas on Saturday at 3:30 PM ET. Should they win, #1 seeded Baylor team will likely await them in the second round.
It’s been a tough four years for the women’s team since their trip to the Sweet 16 in 2015. Women’s basketball was likely the program hardest hit by the NCAA investigation, and several key members of that team transferred in the aftermath of that run.
