Riding a three-game winning streak into the weekend, fifth-ranked NC State women's basketball (13-2, 4-0 ACC) makes the trip to Coral Gables, Fla., for a Sunday afternoon matchup with Miami (7-4, 0-1 ACC).
Tip-off between the Wolfpack and the Hurricanes is scheduled for 2 p.m. from the Watsco Center, and the game will be televised nationally on the ACC Network. Andrew Sanders will also have the radio call on WKNC 88.1 FM in Raleigh.
SCHEDULE CHANGES
The NC State-Miami game was originally scheduled for Jan. 27 but has been moved up following the postponements of the NC State at Notre Dame game and the Louisville at Miami game, which were both slated for Sunday. Louisville and Notre Dame are adhering to COVID protocols, and the league will look to reschedule that postponed game between the Wolfpack and the Fighting Irish.
SERIES HISTORY (NC State leads 13-11)
Sunday's game marks the 25th meeting between NC State and Miami. The teams have met at least once a season every year since 2004-05.
Both Sunday's game and last season's Dec. 20, 2020 matchup are games that were moved up from their originally-scheduled spot just days before due to the uncertainties that come with the COVID-19 pandemic.
NC State has visited Miami a total of 11 times ahead of Sunday's matchup. The Pack is 4-7 in those games.
The team's last trip to Coral Gables (Feb. 20, 2020) marked its first road win over the Hurricanes since the 2006-07 season. In that game, NC State overcame a fourth-quarter deficit, and then-freshman Jakia Brown-Turner hit the game-winning shot with two seconds remaining to lead the Pack to the 50-48 victory.
The Wolfpack hosted the Hurricanes on Dec. 20, 2020 for the most recent matchup between the two teams. NC State won that game by a 78-47 score with four players (Cunane, Kayla Jones, Brown-Turner, Kai Crutchfield) scoring in double figures.
