No. 12 Louisville started February with a commanding 81-69 women’s basketball win over No. 23 Syracuse on Thursday night, but it only gets tougher from here.
The Cardinals will be on the road two of their next three games, starting with a trip to Raleigh, North Carolina, to play fifth-ranked N.C. State on Monday. The nationally televised contest is Louisville’s first game this season on ESPN2.

“(Wolfpack coach Wes Moore) has done a great job with that ballclub,” Louisville coach Jeff Walz said. “They’re playing at a high level right now.”
Coming off a 63-59 win over No. 24 North Carolina, N.C. State has won four games in a row, is undefeated at home this season and is in third place in the ACC standings behind No. 18 Virginia Tech and the Cardinals. Louisville leads the all-time series, 8-7, against the Wolfpack, but N.C. State has won the last four meetings.
Last season, the Wolfpack defeated the Cardinals, 63-51, at the KFC Yum! Center. It was one of U of L’s three home losses. Olivia Cochran had 11 rebounds for Louisville.
The Cardinals have won four of their last five, including three in a row. During conference play, the team has produced a +4.11 turnover margin, is shooting 37.6% from 3-point range and 50.3% from the field, all of which rank No. 1 in the ACC.
