NC State women’s basketball scores No. 1 seed in ACC Tournament, shared regular season champ title

After the Pack’s 24-5 regular season and extending its home win streak, the highly ranked women’s basketball season faces the post-season with a No. 1 seed and tough rivals coming back.

After an impressive win over SMU, the NC State women’s basketball team has secured the No. 1 seed in the ACC tournament and shares the regular season title with Notre Dame — plus a No. 7 AP ranking. We’re looking ahead to the ACC Tournament in Greensboro where the Pack just might take it all.

NC State and Notre Dame tied for the regular season with a 16-2 conference record, but because NC State beat the Fighting Irish, the Pack gets to claim the No. 1 seed — and we might just encounter the Irish again on the ACC Championship stage.

The 2025 Ally ACC Women’s Basketball Tournament starts tomorrow, Wednesday, March 5 at the First Horizon Coliseum in Greensboro — No. 5 UNC’s first game is Wednesday, and No. 3 Duke and NC State will play their first games on Friday. If you can’t make it out to GSO, all games will be available on the ACC Network, ESPN 2, and ESPN.
