ANN ARBOR, Mich. — NC State star guard Zoe Brooks has been ruled out of a second-round NCAA Tournament matchup with Michigan on Sunday.
Brooks watched her teammates warm up as she stood on crutches and wore a protective boot on her right foot.
The All-ACC guard was injured Friday night when the seventh-seeded Wolfpack eliminated 10th-seeded Tennessee.
Brooks was held out of practice Saturday in the hopes that she would be available to play against the second-seeded Wolverines.
The 5-foot-10 junior started in 31 games this season, averaging 16 points, a team-high 4.3 assists and 4.7 rebounds. As a freshman, she was a key player on N.C. State’s team that reached the 2024 Final Four.
