UNC basketball odds to make NCAA Tournament according to FanDuel
UNC basketball odds to make NCAA Tournament according to FanDuel Can UNC defy the odds (literally) and make the NCAA Tournament? We're in the home stretch on Selection Sunday, with many college basketball fans wondering: will the North Carolina Tar Heels make the NCAA Tournament? UNC is currently on the outside looking in, with Joe Lunardi putting North Carolina amongst his "First Four Out" Saturday night. The Tar Heels were amongst the "Last Four In" entering Friday night's ACC Tournament Semifinals matchup against archrival Duke, but another heartbreaking loss in the final seconds move the Tar Heels' positioning. UNC got some much-needed help from VCU on Sunday afternoon, as the Rams beat George Mason in the Atlantic 10 Championship, which prevents a stolen bid. North Carolina also needs Memphis to beat UAB in the American Athletic Conference Championship, a game which will end just before Selection Sunday starts at 6 p.m. ET. There's also betting odds for the Tar Heels to make the NCAA Tournament, but those aren't extremely favorable. As of 4 p.m. ET on Sunday, March 16, FanDuel gave UNC +195 odds to grab a spot in the Big Dance. North Carolina was at +300 on Saturday night, but as we mentioned before, VCU dished out a major assist by beating George Mason. The Tar Heels and Texas Longhorns have identical odds to make the NCAA Tournament, while Indiana is most likely to advance amongst bubble teams. I simply don't understand why Xavier has better odds than Texas and UNC – the Longhorns have a 7-10 record in Quad 1 games, while UNC and Xavier both have just one Quad 1 victory each. As weak as the ACC is this year, it's stronger than the Big East.

Duquesne University's Megan McConnell has been named the Atlantic 10 Conference defensive player of the year. McConnell, a standout at Chartiers Valley before attending Duquesne, was named All-Conference First Team and All-Academic Team in addition to her defensive player of the year honors. McConnell, a senior, is leading all of NCAA Division I players with 115 steals and has had five or more steals in a game on 11 different occasions this season. "We celebrate Meg and all of her achievements," head coach Dan Burt said. "She has made our team better both on and off the court with her play and leadership. Meg is the best player I've ever coached and the most improved player I've had in 28 years. She truly deserves all the recognition." McConnell also leads Duquesne in nearly all offensive statistical categories, leading the Atlantic 10 Conference with 18.8 points per game. She is the only player in all of Division I with more than 500 points, 200 rebounds, 100 assists, and 100 steals. Duquesne is 18-11 on the season with a 9-9 conference record.

There's now an A-10 basketball court replica inside Richmond airport
Henrico Sports & Entertainment Authority erected a replica of the Atlantic 10 Championship basketball court inside the Richmond airport over the weekend. Why it matters: The "terminal takeover" is in celebration of the A10 Women's Basketball Championship, which will play out at the Henrico Sports & Events Center on March 5-9. The big picture: The court, which is regulation width and nearly half the length of a regular court, took six hours to install on Saturday, according to a news release from the Richmond airport. It sits on the upper level at RIC, just above baggage claim, and will be there for at least two weeks, airport spokesperson Troy Bell tells Axios. The public can walk and roll their luggage across the court, but sadly it's for "display only and is not meant for competitive play," per the release. There also aren't any basketballs available if travelers wanted to play a quick game of H-O-R-S-E. Yes, but: Should one happen to have a ball on their person, they might be able to get in a free throw or two. The bottom line: If you're heading to the airport in the next few weeks, you should absolutely not slip a basketball into your carry-on. We'd never recommend someone break airport rules.
