Note: Due to the ACC having a greater number of teams compared to the SEC, two teams from the ACC will not be participating in the Challenge. This year, Wake Forest and Pittsburgh are absent from the ACC/SEC Challenge.
Both conferences saw expansion this past summer, with the SEC incorporating Texas and Oklahoma to reach a total of 16 members, while the ACC added Cal, SMU, and Stanford to achieve 18 members in basketball.
The 2023 ACC/SEC Women’s Basketball Challenge concluded in a 7-7 tie. The ACC initially took a commanding 6-1 lead with victories from Notre Dame, NC State, Miami, Louisville, Duke, and Virginia, all winning by less than 10 points. However, the SEC managed to secure six wins in the last seven matchups, resulting in a 7-7 stalemate.
This year’s ACC/SEC Women’s Basketball Challenge includes 11 teams ranked in the AP Top 25. No. 11 Oklahoma will visit No. 22 Louisville on Wednesday evening for the first night’s only ranked matchup. The highlight of Thursday night features No. 14 Kentucky facing No. 16 North Carolina in Chapel Hill, while No. 10 Notre Dame hosts No. 4 Texas in South Bend, No. 18 Ole Miss visits NC State in Raleigh, No. 8 Duke challenges the reigning champions No. 3 South Carolina, Stanford heads to take on No. 5 LSU, and No. 19 Alabama journeys west to confront California. These games will significantly impact not just the ACC/SEC Challenge but also the broader scope of the women’s college basketball season.
