UNC women get #5 seed in NCAA Basketball Tournament

After a 23-6 regular season that featured 13 ACC wins and a victory over then #3 Louisville, the North Carolina Tar Heels women’s basketball team is going dancing. UNC received the #5 seed in the Greensboro Regional of the NCAA Tournament, getting them a first round matchup against #12 seed Stephen F. Austin on Saturday.

The Tar Heels just missed out on getting to host the opening two rounds, and will instead head to Tucson, Arizona for the first weekend.

Their opponent in the first round will be the Ladyjacks of Stephen F. Austin, who went 28-4, including a 17-1 record in the WAC, with a conference tournament win.
