Courtney Banghart and the UNC women's basketball program have earned their highest ranking of the 2024-2025 season, coming in at No. 13 in this week's AP Top 25 poll. The Tar Heels jumped one spot this week as they were previously ranked No. 14 in the country.
The ACC is once again well-represented in this week's AP Top 25 Poll. North Carolina is the second-highest ranked ACC team among the six ranked squads, trailing only Notre Dame (who came in at No. 3 on this week's list).
Notre Dame- No. 3
North Carolina- No. 13
Duke- No. 14
Georgia Tech- No. 18
NC State- No. 20
California- No. 22
North Carolina has played basketball as of late, winning seven of their last eight games. Their lone loss came to the Fighting Irish, a game in which the Tar Heels hung tight after one of the best overall teams in the country.
Holding a 17-3 record, the UNC women's basketball program has two home games on the slate this week. On Thursday, the Tar Heels will host Wake Forest and will play Florida State in a Sunday afternoon clash at Carmichael Arena. These two games will lead the Tar Heels into a three-game road trip, including consecutive games on the west coast.
