Who do the women play in the Big Ten this year?
The Gopher women’s basketball team looked to be an improved product last season before injuries wrecked Coach P’s inaugural season.
Now with a talented and healthy roster, how competitive can they be in the new Big Ten? The team preview will be forthcoming. For now, we know the opponents for the 2024-25 season.
The women’s program got creative with their schedule release and did an NFL-style schedule video. This is the cutest thing ever and much more interesting than anything I’d have to write about their conference schedule.

A couple highlights from the schedule…
- Wisconsin is the team they play twice. In the new Big Ten you have 17 opponents for an 18-game schedule. Which means you get 1 home-and-home. For the women, they get the Badgers (otherwise known as the Cats With a Shirt). The Badgers were 6-12 in conference last year.
- If you’re looking for a winter road trip, they play USC on January 30th, followed by a UCLA matchup on February 2nd.
