NC State’s women’s basketball team has had a pretty remarkable week. First the Wolfpack Women beat No. 2 Notre Dame in Raleigh, ending the Irish’s 35-game ACC winning streak. Then the Pack went to Tallahassee and beat No. 6 Florida State by nine, ending the Seminoles 12-game winning streak.
NC State is now 12-3 (2-0) and has vaulted about 30 spots in the RPI as a result of these big wins. The Pack missed out on the NCAAs by a very thin margin last season, and if it had closed out a couple of potential upset wins, the team’s fate would not have been in doubt.
