Alabama basketball made history last year with a Final Four run, but the women's basketball program was there first.
Aziaha James scored 22 points, Zoe Brooks added 21, and No. 14 N.C. State rolled past No. 22 Florida State 97-74.
Sarah Ashlee Barker finished with 19 points and matched her career high with 12 rebounds to help No. 23 Alabama roll to a wire-to-wire 80-60 victory over Mississippi State.
