Top 10 women’s college basketball teams for the 2025-26 season

10. NC State Wolfpack

NC State flew under the radar a bit this past season in a top-heavy ACC featuring other talented teams like Notre Dame and Duke. The Wolfpack will see some significant departures this offseason, including leading scorer Aziaha James and fellow seniors Saniya Rivers and Madison Hayes. However, the Wolfpack are still set up for success in 2025-26 behind standout sophomore guard Zoe Brooks and promising freshman Zamareya Jones. Young forwards like 6-foot-6 freshman Tilda Trygger also appear poised to take a step forward, while a couple of top-75 recruits will join Wes Moore’s roster. The future is bright in Raleigh, and adding a veteran or two in the transfer portal could vault NC State to the top of the ACC next season.
