It’s an odd feeling throughout the Triangle this week without any of the area’s teams left to root for (or against) in the NCAA Tournament. Yet here we are.

Duke’s loss to Tennessee in the second round was the last domino to fall after Creighton ousted N.C. State in the first round and North Carolina did not get a bid.

Now the offseason fun begins, with roster questions lingering, the transfer portal calling and players contemplating starting their professional careers.
