Jada Boyd was not the only one who put up impressive numbers during NC State’s win over Louisville Sunday. ABC televised the event, and ESPN’s public relations department shared that the conference clash was the No. 2 most-watched women’s college basketball game of the 2022-23 season.
A total of 624,000 viewers tuned into the Sunday afternoon clash, according to a tweet from ESPN PR, watching the Wolfpack shut down down the Cardinals in the fourth quarter to wrap up an extremely impressive win on the road.
TheWolfpacker.com’s recap of the win:
NC State began Sunday’s road trip with a brilliant quarter offensively and ended it with one of its best defensive periods of the year, traveling to Louisville and defeating the Cardinals 63-51. Jada Boyd returned to the court and was huge for the Pack, scoring 15 points and grabbing 7 rebounds to lead the team in both categories.
Louisville did not make a field goal until the 1:37 mark in the fourth quarter, shooting 6.3 percent in the period and 30.3 percent overall.
NC State now takes a week off after improving to 5-4 in the ACC and 15-5 overall before a huge clash with No. 7 Notre Dame at Reynolds Coliseum set for Sunday, Jan. 29 at 3 p.m..

Quote of the day
This quote is from Jonathan Paylor, sharing what Dave Doeren’s visits to the four-star wide receiver’s high school mean to the elite recruit.
“When a head coach can come to your school three times and every time he gets, he comes up there without an excuse, it shows a lot,” Paylor said. “It shows that he really cares about you as a person and he cares about you as an athlete.”
