RALEIGH, N.C. – The NC State women’s basketball program has announced its non-conference slate for the 2024-25 season, as revealed on Thursday.
The Pack will play eight of its 11 games, in addition to a preseason exhibition, at Reynolds Coliseum. Coming off a historical 2023-24 season that was highlighted by the program’s first Final Four since 1998, second in program history, head coach Wes Moore is entering his 12th season at the helm. With a strong home court advantage, the Pack has accumulated a 117-15 (.886) record at home since the renovation of Reynolds Coliseum was completed in August 2016.
NC State will participate in the Pink Flamingo Championship at Baha Mar in Nassau, Bahamas on Monday, Nov. 25 and Wednesday, Nov. 27 against opponents that will be announced at a later date. As previously announced, NC State will play the defending NCAA Champion South Carolina at the Ally Tipoff at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte on Sunday, Nov. 10, as well as host Ole Miss for the SEC/ACC Challenge on Thursday, Dec. 5.
The Wolfpack will host Anderson (S.C.) for an exhibition on Tuesday, Oct. 29 before officially starting the season at home vs. ETSU on Tuesday, Nov. 5. Following the Ally Tipoff, NC State will return home to host Kent State on Thursday, Nov. 14.
NC State’s first true road game of the season is at TCU on Sunday, Nov. 17. The Pack will then play Coastal Carolina at home on Thursday, Nov. 21 before its trip to the Bahamas for two games (Nov. 25-27).
The Pack will close out the non-conference slate with four straight games at Reynolds Coliseum, starting with the SEC/ACC Challenge game vs. Ole Miss (Thursday, Dec. 5). NC State will then host Old Dominion (Sunday, Dec. 8), Davidson (Wednesday, Dec. 11) and James Madison (Thursday, Dec. 19) to wrap up non-conference play.
With NC State’s known non-conference opponents, six are coming off postseason tournament appearances. Three received NCAA Tournament bids (Kent State, Ole Miss and NCAA Champion South Carolina), two were invited to play in the WBIT (TCU and James Madison) and one played in the WNIT (Old Dominion).
NC State’s Atlantic Coast Conference schedule will be announced by the league office at a later date. NC State will play Wake Forest, Boston College, Clemson, Duke, Miami, Notre Dame, Pitt, Virginia and Virginia Tech at home.

Hopefully this doesn’t mean anything, but Morsell and Miranda are testing the NBA waters. I am assuming this is similar to what Smith did last year. However, I would be trying extra hard to get Bradley to commit.
Completely agree. I heard Bradley visited us, then Memphis, and was going to consider other schools as well. Hopefully we are still working it. It makes sense for Miranda to get NBA feedback. And it seems logical that the advice he’d get would include that he should play at least one year of college ball. He’s never played against tough competition. This is where NIL makes a difference, I think. Pre-NIL, his choice might have been ‘get paid in the G League’ or nothing. Now he can get paid and benefit from a year at school working on his game… Read more »
This crap every year is getting very old. Why can’t the NCAA do for basketball as they have done for football and baseball. You select college, you stay at least three from your high school graduation. One transfer is bad enough but committing and then changing your mind midstream is frustrating for fans as well as coaches.
Football players can transfer pretty freely.
That’s true, but at least football and baseball have to stay in college for three years in some compacity (transfer once, transfer and sit out a year, medical red shirt, etc.). I don’t understand how basketball coaches can put up with this mess now. Just look at the number of players recruited and commited to State by KK that didn’t even get there.
I was worried about the 4 when Clark & Gantt left. Now we have the opposite problem. Where do you play Rice? Unless he’s still recovering from the back issue, he’s too good to sit on the bench. He needs playing time. He’s not a PG, Taylor and Morsell are locked in at the 2 & 3. He could probably backup those positions (but they are already probably 2 deep), but they will be the primary. So he’s got to play the 4. Ross, Diarra, and Miranda also will prefer to play the 4. and backup the 5 as needed.… Read more »
The staff was spot on with Burns and Mahorcic (and Clark) last year. Gotta trust their evaluation of both Middlebrooks and Diarra. Adding Rice to that equation makes me feel like we upgraded from Ebe, Gantt, and Clark. Miranda is a wild card that I can’t wait to watch. Both Miranda and D.Parker will benefit from having more experienced guys to bang with in practice.
I know that’s a highlight reel, and he didn’t play much, but he looks really athletic for 6’10”, hustles, and appears to have good hands. I think he has potential.
Found a box of old LPs and got to thinking about your handle…. Not too many rock bands had a true violinist. PapaJohn Creach played with Hot Tuna in the 70’s. Just wonderin
LPs? What are they??? LOL (I used to have over 1,000)
I remember Hot Tuna, they were guys from Jefferson Airplane, right? Can’t recall a hit song. I’ll have to look them up.
