The NC State women’s basketball program earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament for the first time in school history last year. So coming back and doing that again in 2022 was a primary goal going into this season.
As of late January, the Wolfpack is in position to grab another top seed. In the latest bracketology from ESPN’s Charlie Creme, State is the No. 2 overall seed in the field, behind only South Carolina. The Pack would open against the winner of a First Four game (the women’s tourney expanded to 68 this year) between 16-seeds in this scenario.
