NC State Wolfpack face the LSU Tigers in Sweet 16

On March 24, 2025, NC State Wolfpack guard Saniya Rivers celebrated a score during the second half of a game that took place at James T. Valvano Arena at William Neal Reynolds in Raleigh, North Carolina.
NC State, with a record of 28-6, is aiming for a return trip to the Final Four, while LSU, with a record of 30-5, seeks to win another national championship after claiming the title in 2023.
NC State and LSU will face off in eastern Washington with a spot in the Elite Eight on the line, marking another opportunity for NC State against the Tigers after LSU won the Baha Mar Pink Flamingo tournament championship game against an opponent with a score of 82-65 in Nassau, Bahamas.
LSU head coach Kim Mulkey and players like Morrow, who averages 18.5 points and a nation-leading 13.5 rebounds per game, emphasize a player-coached team environment, as Morrow stated, "Flau'jae can get on me, Mikaylah can get on me, and I can get on them, and no nobody take it personal."
LSU advanced to the Sweet Sixteen after defeating Florida State 101-71 and San Diego State 103-48, with Sa'Myah Smith having a career game against FSU, but Sweet Sixteen games have been grinding affairs for the Tigers in the past two seasons.
