The men weren’t the only ones to learn their bracket fate on Sunday night: ESPN revealed that the Carolina women’s basketball team earned another bid to the NCAA Tournament, something they’ve done each season Courtney Banghart has coached the team.
There was an upset, though. ESPN’s women’s bracketologist had the Tar Heels as a solid four seed, which would have meant they would have hosted the events in Carmichael next weekend. Instead, they fell all the way to a six seed, where they will head up to Columbus, Ohio as the Buckeyes host with the three seed.
The Tar Heels will face the winner of the Purdue/St Johns First Four game, and that winner will go up against the winner of Ohio State/James Madison.
