Tournament Selection Show. Watch to see if the Tar Heels make it to the
Big Dance. The show will be live on ESPN from 8-9pm to announce the

into the NCAA tournament according to Charlie Cream's Bracketology at
ESPN. View his latest predictions
here.
Tech Tip: Move your mouse cursor over each team (do not click,
just hover) on the bracketology page and a description of why they are
in that spot should pop up.
Also,

describes some of the decision making process. In his March 1 column he
made the case for UNC making the tournament. Read about it
here.
The March 8 update is
here.
SCHEDULING NOTE:
There is conflicting information concerning the time of this show. As
of this writing the ESPN schedule shows 8pm for the selection show,
however, the original NCAA announcement
here
lists
the show starting at 7pm. Please check you TV listings on Monday to
ensure you do not miss the show!

Reviewing the ACC Tournament
The Tar Heels lost to
Maryland, 83-77 in the first round of the ACC Tournament. Read the
UNCAA recap
here and the
ACC recap
here. The
News and Observer article is
here along
with photo galleries
here and
here. Lauren
Brownlow's article “Putting it all Together” is
here and the
Daily Tar Heel article on the game is
here and a
new article on Jessica Breland is
here.
New
since the last Blast: A second Daily Tar Heel article is
here and the
News and Observer had two additional articles, one before the game
here and one
about the game
here which
includes links to photo galleries.
In other games: Former
Tar Heel Sylvia Crawley and her BC team did well knocking off #2
Florida State before falling short against NC State in the
semifinals. NC State, after winning three games in three days,
played well enough to provide and interesting final game but that
“other blue” team up the road comes out with their 6th
ACC Tournament Title. Final score: NC State 60 – Duke 70. Check out
ESPN's Mechelle Voepel thoughts on “Underdogs come close in ACC, Big
Ten, SEC”
here.
For recaps of all games
of the tournament, a list of the All Tournament Teams, and links to
all press conferences, photo galleries, box scores, quotes, and
more, view the ACC Women's Basketball Championship Central site
