No. 8 UNC, No. 9 NC State, No. 16 Duke vying to give state’s ‘Triangle’ region 3 NCAA host sites

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 women’s college basketball poll is back every week throughout the season! 9 N.C. State — all located within a 30-minute drive of one another in North Carolina’s “Triangle” region — have made their home state the only one in the country with three different programs cracking the top 10 of the AP Top 25 this season. “If we can play here at home in the first and second round, we’ve got a pretty nice homecourt advantage,” Wolfpack coach Wes Moore said afterward. UNC — which is still awaiting Ustby’s return — hasn’t hosted NCAA games since 2015, while N.C. State and Duke have done it multiple times since. “If they’re going to be giving it to 16 teams, why not be one of the teams that that tries to go after it?” ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.
