NC State Wolfpack
- 1st in ACC2026 Schedule



As part of SportsCenter's "50 States in 50 Days" tour, we're spotlighting the top boys and girls hoopers to come out of the Carolinas based on high school career achievements.

From the biggest storylines to the top players to watch, we preview the 2025-26 women's basketball season.

With four top-40 recruits, the Tigers retain the top spot in the latest edition of our top 25.

South Carolina, UConn, UCLA and Texas are the No. 1 seeds in our first projection of the 2026 bracket.

Big transfers have put South Carolina at No. 1 and propelled the likes of LSU, Oklahoma and Tennessee higher.

Paige Bueckers, coming off leading UConn to its first national championship in nine years, was selected No. 1 by the Dallas Wings in the 2025 WNBA draft Monday night.

After adversity shook her self-confidence, an All-Star's encouraging words inspired the Wolfpack guard to recommit herself to the game.

The Dallas Wings are on the clock. From Paige Bueckers to pick No. 38, our WNBA mock draft projects all three rounds.

UConn star Paige Bueckers, the projected No. 1 pick, headlines a list of 16 players who have been invited to attend Monday's WNBA draft, the league announced Friday.

The No. 2 pick sees an international entry, while Hailey Van Lith, Sedona Prince drop out of the first round.
