March Madness—Raleigh style. Get ready for chaos on the courts this March as the road to the Final Four runs through Raleigh.
This year, the Cap City once again takes center stage in the national spotlight as sessions of the Big Dance play out at Lenovo Center—marking the fifth time Lenny (formerly PNC Arena) has hosted the madness since 2004. And after a year that saw all three major Triangle unis advance deep into the brackets—with the Wolfpack making that magical Final Four run—the Tar Heel State’s buzzing again.
Now one of 13 cities on the road to this year’s Final Four, NC State will play host to—and ~pack~ in the fans for—a half-dozen first- and second-round games of the NCAA Division Men’s Basketball Championship. The courtside action is primed to get wild with yet-to-be-named top-tier teams squaring off, lurking underdogs, buzzer-beater drama, rabid fans, last-second heroics, that nail-biting chaos only March Madness can deliver—and no doubt a trail of plenty of busted brackets in its wake.
While we await the lineup (tba March 16), one thing is certain—whether it’s the big-name squads or underdog upsets, Raleigh is here for it. Game on. March 21, Sessions 1 & 2 (2 games ea.); March 23, Session 3 (2 games), lenovocenter.com
