Without a doubt, UNC Tarheel girls should had been playing in Greensboro .
Because they were a top seed they should be playing closer to home.
The NCAA people were stupid not to have UNC playing in Greensboro. Just think of all the money they have lost because of this stupid decision.

The mens tournament figured out a long time ago that selling tickets is important, and putting teams closer to home is the key to selling tickets.
Saturday's crowd in New Orleans for the Tar Heels vs. Louisville was pitiful. Sundays crowd in Greensboro was terrible, and the rain had nothing to do with it.
The Womens NCAA is clueless. If UCONN and UNC were flip flopped, you could have a decent crowd in New Orleans for UCONN vs. LSU, and an outstanding crowd for UNC vs. Rutgers in Greensboro.
But, I might be wrong. it may just be the NCAA thinks the coliseum green seat background looks good on TV
