This question came up a few years back when the Huntsman center was set to host first and second round games. The answer was no home school in the first two rounds, but anything goes in rounds 3-6.

Note that out east this year the first weekend is in Raleigh and the regionals are in Charlotte, which amounts to distances of 20 and 115 miles from Chapel Hill.
