USC and UCLA Lead Women's Big Ten Tournament as Top Seeds

The expanded Big Ten Tournament begins in Indianapolis, with USC and UCLA poised for a potential championship rematch after a historic season.

The 2025 Women's Big Ten Basketball Tournament runs from March 5-9 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, featuring 15 teams competing for the title.
USC, led by star sophomore JuJu Watkins, secured the No. 1 seed after clinching their first Big Ten regular-season title in 31 years with a dominant win over UCLA.
UCLA, the No. 2 seed, aims for redemption after losing both regular-season matchups against USC, including a decisive 80-67 defeat in the season finale.
Ohio State and Maryland, seeded third and fourth respectively, both received double-byes and are considered strong contenders based on recent performances.
The tournament's championship game is scheduled for Sunday, March 9, and will be broadcast nationally on CBS, with streaming options available on Peacock and the Big Ten Network.
