NC State’s Women’s Basketball team will be playing in the 2024 Jimmy V Classic on December 15th at Louisville at 1pm on ABC.
Because the game will be against the Cardinals, it will serve as the Wolfpack’s ACC opener.
Here’s a look at the other matchups in the Women’s Jimmy V Classic.
This marks the 5th time that the NC State Women’s Basketball team has played in the Jimmy V Classic: UConn (2002), Texas (2003), Tennessee (2004), South Carolina (2020).
The Wolfpack are 8-8 all-time against Louisville, but are currently on a 5-game winnings streak against the Cardinals.
ESPN ranks NC State 8th in their Way-Too-Early 2024-25 Preseason Top-25, and they rank Louisville 12th. The Wolfpack finished 4th in the AP Poll last season, and the Cardinals finished 30th.
Back at the end of July, it was reported that NC State’s Men’s Basketball team would play Purdue this upcoming season in the Rady Children’s Invitational, in a rematch from last year’s Final Four.
Now we know the time, date and network.
The game will be on November 28th at 3pm. The game will be televised on FS1. The games will be played in Liontree Arena in San Diego.
BYU and Ole Miss will be the other two teams playing in the tournament.
Last year, BYU finished right outside the Top-25, and Ole Miss is ranked 22nd in ESPN’s Way-Too-Early Top-25. Purdue is ranked 16th in those rankings as well.
The inaugural tournament took place last year, with Iowa, Oklahoma, Seton Hall and USC.
You got to love Smith and Joiner. Top notch people that put in the hard work to accomplish an impressive turnaround season, despite yet again injuries to critical players plaguing the team. Tough to go out this way, but losing to a 6 seed in the NCAAT, a team that many say should have been even higher, isn’t something to hang you head over. Look at Purdue going down to a 16 seed, UVA getting beat, etc. Looking forward….I think KK will do a good job of re-stocking the shelves. Can we PLEEEEEASE have a year without decimating injuries?

100%! And listening to Coach Keatts talk, I can see why a player would love him as a coach. That presser was something. Imagine too, if not only could we get a way without decimating injuries, but also hang onto DJ Burns and can you imagine… T Smith? I know that last one is in all likelihood a pipe dream, but holy heck, would Wolfpack Nation go crazy if T said he was returning.
