North Carlina State's Sweet 16 game against Stanford in the women's NCAA Tournament is bit of a harbinger of what’s to come. That’s because next season the perennially talented Cardinal are headed to the Atlantic Coast Conference. Second-seeded Stanford plays No. 3 seed N.C.

NC State head coach Wes Moore directs his team against Notre Dame during the first half of an NCAA basketball game for the Women’s Atlantic Coast Conference championship in Greensboro, N.C., Sunday, March 10, 2024. Stanford head coach Tara VanDerveer gestures from the sideline during the second half of an NCAA college basketball game against Oregon State in the semifinal round of the Pac-12 tournament Friday, March 8, 2024, in Las Vegas.

“It’s exciting to expand our conference out to the West Coast. I think it’s good,” Moore said. “But right now, I’m not really looking at it as a conference game. I’m just focused on where we are.” VanDerveer is part of a group chat with her fellow Pac-12 coaches in the tournament that has taken on a bittersweet tone.

“I think for me it’s a little personal just because I wasn’t able to play last year. I had to sit on the bench and watch what happened and watch my team not play to the best of their ability that I know that they could,” Moore said. “To see how hard we worked to get to this point and to see us actually executing, I’m so proud of them. ... There’s still so much we have to work on. I know with this group we’re going to put our head down and do it.
