# 2015–16 NC State Wolfpack women's basketball team

The 2015–16 NC State Wolfpack women's basketball team represented North Carolina State University during the 2015–16 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Wolfpack, led by third-year head coach Wes Moore, played their home games at Needham B. Broughton High School with 2 games at PNC Arena due to renovations at Reynolds Coliseum and were members of the Atlantic Coast Conference. They finished the season 20–11, 10–6 in ACC play to finish in sixth place. They advanced to the quarterfinals of the ACC women's tournament to Syracuse. Despite having 20 wins and being projected as a tournament team, they were not invited to the NCAA tournament, the team voted not to accept an invitation to the WNIT.
