"As the popularity of women's basketball continues to soar, the Ally Tipoff represents our commitment to elevating the game and giving these incredible athletes the spotlight they deserve," said Will Pitts, CEO of Charlotte Sports Foundation. "Charlotte is ready to welcome USC and NC State for what's sure to be another unforgettable matchup."
