As both the 2013 NCAA Men's and Women's Basketball Tournaments will wrap up on Monday and Tuesday, the NHL season's playoff push is at full intensity with approximately 10-12 games remaining for all teams to finish the regular season.
Even while no Triangle-area teams will not be competing in either NCAA championship game, the accolades are still coming in for postseason awards to individuals such as Duke's Chelsea Gray, among others.
At NC State, Wes Moore will be introduced on Monday as the new women's basketball coach after Kellie Harper was fired a few weeks ago after four years of leading the Wolfpack program.
To say the Carolina Hurricanes are struggling would be an understatement.
The team has now tied a franchise record (7) for consecutive games lost at home, while managing to win only one game in their last 12 played.
With the Masters beginning this week, NCAA lacrosse action heating up for both Duke and North Carolina's men's and women's teams, April will continue to reveal lots of exciting news and happenings.
Stay tuned!
