00:00 NC State coming in as the number two seed. Started off the season 14-0. Went from unranked to a top-ten team.
00:07 And here's the zone. 27 possessions of man.
00:11 A dreamy count of six in triple.
00:13 Rebounding guard. Second on this team overall in boards behind Maddie Westbell.
00:19 NC State held Hildago to 10 points the first time they met. It was her lowest scoring, or tied her lowest scoring output.
00:26 I don't think Wes Moore's gonna like that one.
00:28 Hildago's first shot of the game. Got it!
00:31 When your shot selection turns into transition opportunities for the other team.
00:36 Freshman, all five, six of her, pulling up, sticking to triple.
00:41 NC State's been here four of the last five years, and they've won three of them.
00:47 Last year they didn't make it to the championship.
00:49 The bounce as well. How about Madison Hayes?
00:52 Westbell is having trouble navigating space.
00:57 That would be a flop, which they don't like to call.
01:00 Zitron breaks the drought for the Irish.
01:05 You gotta pass it. You can move the ball faster by passing it.
01:10 James, able to get a follow.
01:13 Zitron. They need a shot from Westbell. She looks at the clock. Steps through and hits it!
01:24 This is a good defense by Baldwin. She needs to stay on her feet.
01:28 It's a good job by Neal Ivey. They're short without Kylie Watson because of the injury.
01:34 And it goes over. Brooks. Behind the basket!
01:39 James with the finish!
01:41 Cleared out, but Mimi Collins cuts to the baseline. This is a great play right here.
01:47 Just a beautiful feed.
01:49 Hannah. Bransford. They need a shot. They get it from Hannah!
01:54 Hit it! Right before the shot clock buzzer went off.
01:58 Same. Hits.
02:00 She gets lost in the shuffle. NC State loses communication.
02:05 Gets it back to Westbell. Good hustle to get back in transition by Mimi Collins after she was forced out of the baseline.

02:18 Saniya Rivers rejects the screen.
02:20 And then Hidalgo high off the glass over six.
02:23 Worst shooting day of the season in the regular season loss against NC State.
02:28 A little bit better today. Westbell!
02:30 The three. There's the flare.
02:33 That's what happens. Here comes the screen. There's the flare. Nice job by Hidalgo.
02:43 Hayes left. Oh, man, and she buried it!
02:45 Had it on the entire second.
02:50 Wilson. Able to handle and finish.
02:55 Great pass to the target, away from the defense.

03:04 She did a good job of getting it in the ball, man.

03:40 Second foul on James. 20 seconds. Put back on the shot clock. Hidalgo for three.
03:45 Hits it!
03:46 A little break. Joining you from Greensboro.

05:05 Nice advanced pass right here. Good finish with Hidalgo.
05:11 State has not scored for almost five minutes.
