#1 seed NC State will play #3 seed Duke tomorrow in the 2025 ACC Women’s Basketball Tournament Championship game at 1 PM on ESPN. This follows the Blue Devils’ victory over #2 seed Notre Dame, 61-56, this afternoon.
Despite being the #1 seed, ranking higher in the AP Poll (NC State 7th, Duke 11th), and having beaten Duke 89-83 at home on February 3rd, NC State opened as 2.5-point underdogs against the Blue Devils.
When the two teams faced off just over a month ago, senior first-team All-ACC guard Aziaha James’ career-best 36-point explosion propelled NC State to victory.
