6. NC State Wolfpack
Previous ranking: 7
Last season the Wolfpack, led by five seniors, could have gone on a long NCAA tournament run. Like everyone else, they were denied that chance but did have a March celebration with the program's first ACC tournament title since 1991. NC State has to make up for some loss of leadership. But the team has lots of talent back, led by junior center Elissa Cunane, a national player of the year candidate, seniors Kayla Jones and Kai Crutchfield and sophomores Jada Boyd and Jakia Brown-Turner. -- Voepel
