The ACC has announced that the women’s basketball game between No. 3 NC State and No. 2 Louisville, originally scheduled for Sunday, has been moved to Monday, February 1.

Gametime is 7 p.m. with television coverage on ESPN2.

The Wolfpack is currently under COVID-19 protocols following a positive test last week. The postponement of Sunday’s showdown between last season’s ACC regular season and tournament champions was the fourth postponement since coach Wes Moore’s team began dealing with its current coronavirus concerns.

Games against Wake Forest, Virginia Tech and Virginia have also been affected.

The game against the Hokies will be played on Thursday, January 28 in Blacksburg while the home date against the Deacons will be made up on Thursday, February 18.  The Virginia game won’t be rescheduled after the Cavaliers’ decision to opt out of the remainder of the season.

Other women’s basketball schedule changes involving state ACC teams include the addition of North Carolina at Pittsburgh and Wake Forest at Clemson on Sunday, February 14.
