During the ACC Tipoff media event, coaches from North Carolina and Cal discussed their outlooks for the upcoming women’s basketball season. UNC coach Courtney Banghart highlighted a challenging non-conference schedule intended to serve as a barometer for the roster, noting significant national broadcast exposure for the team. Following these previews, the ACC released its preseason women’s basketball poll, projecting North Carolina to finish third in the conference behind Duke and Louisville. The Tar Heels’ roster includes eight returning players and several transfers. Additionally, recruit Kate Harpring was named to the ACC Preseason All-Freshman Team. In the 2026-27 preseason media polls, Duke remains the favorite for both the men’s and women’s basketball programs. For the women’s side, Duke junior Toby Fournier was selected for the Preseason All-ACC Team, while Notre Dame’s Hannah Hidalgo was named Preseason Player of the Year. North Carolina is again predicted to finish third in the league, with Kate Harpring maintaining her position on the Preseason All-Freshman Team.
