Epic match-up between Iowa-Virginia Tech in Charlotte will tip-off 2023-24 women's basketball season

We’re getting at least one matchup between two women’s college basketball teams that were in last year’s Final Four.

In what will be one of the first games of the season, Iowa and Virginia Tech – both of which are expected to be ranked in the top 10 again – will meet on a neutral court in Charlotte, North Carolina on Nov. 9. The game at the Spectrum Center (where the Charlotte Hornets play) is being billed as the Ally Tipoff and will be televised by ESPN.

It’s presented by the Charlotte Sports Foundation, and it’s another sign of growing investment and interest in the sport.
