Game thread: No. 1 South Carolina vs. No. 5 NC State

Hello and welcome back to basketball season; we have ourselves a double-header to enjoy this evening, and hopefully a couple of wins to go with it. First up are the women, who host top-ranked South Carolina in a nationally televised game. The Pack got the best of South Carolina at their place last year, and it will be no small task to sweep this home-and-home.

Go Pack. Go basketball.
