ACC expansion means more equitable women’s basketball schedule but only one UNC-NC State game Posted Jan 30, 2024 ACC expansion will eliminate more tradition but also create more scheduling equity in women’s basketball. No. 24 UNC’s Thursday visit to No. 5 N.C. State will be the first of two regular-season women’s basketball meetings. This will be the 49th time they’ll play twice in the regular season and the last time in the foreseeable future because of ACC expansion. (Tar Heel Tribune)
