RALEIGH — NC State women's basketball will look to reach the Sweet 16 of March Madness for the fifth time in the Wes Moore era and 16th overall when it takes on the Tennessee Lady Vols on Monday (4 p.m., ESPN).

The No. 3-seeded Wolfpack (28-6) is playing at home on Kay Yow Court in Reynolds Coliseum against the No. 6-seeded Lady Vols, who defeated Green Bay in their NCAA Tournament opener Saturday. The Wolfpack took out Moore's former team, Chattanooga, in Round 1.

The NC State-Tennessee matchup reunites Lady Vols coach Kellie Harper, who coached at NC State from 2009-13, and Moore, for whom she served as an assistant at Chattanooga from 2001-04.

The winner of this game will take on No. 2 seed Stanford in the Sweet 16 at Moda Center in Portland, Oregon.
