2025 women's basketball Feast Week games: Schedule, analysis - ESPN

Las Vegas has already hosted some important and exciting early-season games, but nothing tops next week's Players Era Women's Championship, a chance for players to earn NIL money and for teams to separate themselves from the other elite squads in the country.

Four of the nation's best — Duke, South Carolina, Texas and UCLA — meet up at Michelob ULTRA Arena, the home of the WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces, on Wednesday and Thanksgiving Day to compete in a Final Four-caliber event.
