North Carolina will again host NCAA tournament games following last month’s replacement of House Bill 2. The NCAA announced Tuesday that Greensboro Coliseum and Raleigh’s PNC Arena would host men’s basketball tournament games and that championships in dozens of other sports would be played across the state. A compromise last month replaced HB2 with a new state law that includes a modified version of HB2’s restrictions on local-government protections for LGBT people. Days later, the NCAA said its Board of Governors voted “reluctantly” to consider championship bids from North Carolina locations. Charlotte, which had submitted bids to host men’s basketball tournaments for three years, was not selected. But the NCAA also said earlier this month that championships already awarded for the 2017-2018 season will remain in the state. That means Charlotte will host the first and second rounds of the men’s basketball tournament at the Spectrum Center March 16-18, 2018.
