The transfer portal has closed and the training carousel has stopped turning in women’s university basketball. Then, let’s see next season.
We will know official schedules for a while, but some big clashes have already announced or determined the leg.
TCU owes NC State a return game for a series of homes and cases (which will be on November 16, a source confirmed to SB Nation), South Carolina is due to LSU this season, where they will see that the old Gamecock Milayshiley and the Allyyyy and the Allyyy, and Allyyy and the Allynyyy and The Aity teams still involved.
While it is difficult to find online schedules at this time, many coaches are still working to add games and finish their schedules, we do know some key dates of some crucial clashes. Consider that this is a very enthusiastic appearance in the 2025-26 schedule, and surrounds its calendars for this handful of games.
Uconn vs. Louisville: November 4 (Germany)
The Huskies will begin to defend their National Championship in the Classic of the Armed Forces at the Ramstein Air Base. Paige Bueckers is gone, but the most outstanding player of the final Four, Azzi Fudd and All-American Sarah Strong Return, as well as other key taxpayers such as KK Arnold, Jana El Alfy, Caroline Ducharme, Ashlynn Shade and Ice Brady. The Huskies also added the All-Big Ten Serah Williams of Wisconsin, who gives them more depth and another score threat on the front court.
Louisville de Jeff Walz will try to improve his strong final to the 2024-25 season, which ended with a Turning out of the second round NCAA. Walz broke on the transfer portal, lost three transfers and added three. The incoming group includes one of the best players available on the Laura Ziegler portal. In St. Joseph’s last season, he averaged 17.5 points, 10.4 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game. The 6 -foot 2 striker of Denmark was also the only player in the country to average at least 17 points, 10 rebounds and four assists per game.
Tennessee vs. NC State: November 4 (Greensboro, NC)
Greensboro won the ACC Tournament below, but the university basketball season will begin with a couple of teams that aim to have strong campaigns in two of the best conferences, the SEC and ACC. The historical coliseum must be close to the capacity for this, since it is just one hour from Raleight and three hours from Knoxville and brings together two passionate female basketball bases that travel well.
The Wolfpack will look new to them with Saniya Rivers, Asiaha James and Madison Hayes moving to the professional ranks, but a starring fence on guard in Zoe Brooks and Tilda Trygger return to Wes Moore. Tennessee added three solid players on the transfer portal in Nya Robertson of SMU, the LSU Wolfenbarger and Janiah Barker of UCLA’s shirt, who should help Kim Caldwell fill any hole in his second season to the helm of the Lady Vols.
South Carolina at the USC: November 15
Nicknamed the battle of “The Real SC”, the Gamecocks will travel to Los Angeles to face the Trojans in the first of a series of two games. USC will play for South Carolina in Greenville, SC in the 2026-27 season.
While it is unlikely that Juju Watkins appears in this confrontation, he should tell us a lot about both teams. For South Carolina, this will be an early test for a reorganized team that brings Raven Johnson, Chloe Kitts, Tessa Johnson and Joyce Edwards back, but adds Ta’niya Latson and Madina Okot. For USC, we will see how the transfers of Londynn Jones and Kara Dunn impact the team, and if the Trojans are capable or contain without Watkins.
Texas vs. UCLA: Thanksgiving weekend (Las Vegas)
This is just a confrontation that will be part of an event of multiple teams full in Las Vegas. After debuting with a male tournament last year, the players’ era championship will feature Duke, South Carolina, Texas and UCLA in a round tournament, which means that each team will play three games, one against the other teams in the field. The teams will also have the opportunity to participate in up to $ 1 million NIL opportunities.
While Duke vs. South Carolina will be an intriguing confrontation that will be a rematch of the Eight eight last season in Birmingham, Texas against UCLA will see two of the best players on the front court in sport. Madison Booker is returning to lead the Lonchorns in the junior season of the chicken, while Lauren Betts returns for his senior campaign in UCLA. Both will try to take their teams to the final, and this confrontation could tell us a lot about the roofs for the Bruins and Longhorns.
