The Big Ten women’s basketball tournament is sold out for the first time ever.

The conference announced the sellout on Friday, with more than 109,000 fans expected to attend the five-day tournament from March 6 through the 10th. This year’s tournament is taking place at the Target Center in Minneapolis, home to the Minnesota Lynx.

It’s the second-straight year the Twin Cities has held the event after a record-setting tournament last year.

The total expected attendance would more than double last year’s record-setting attendance, which was 47,923. It’s largely expected that the proximity to Iowa, home to college basketball star Caitlin Clark, helped with the sellout. It also has made Minneapolis an ideal home for the tournament, as the Big Ten looks to capitalize on Clark’s presence.

Unrivaled fans are bidding on pieces of basketball history, as the 3×3 league pushes its auction partnership with memorabilia retailer The Realest ahead of its second season tip-off on January 5th.

First launched in July, Unrivaled doubled down on the auction offerings this week, stocking game-worn jerseys, balls, and other inaugural season exclusives for collectors to bid on.

Even more, sales continue to mount, with a jersey worn by Lunar Owls star and Unrivaled co-founder Napheesa Collier topping all items with a $2,222 price tag last month.

Not far behind Collier's game-worn jersey was Rose BC's Angel Reese and Mist BC's Breanna Stewart — the league's other co-founder — whose jerseys sold for $1,605 and $950, respectively.

The auction and its ongoing series of memorabilia drops are a result of last February's breakthrough group licensing agreement between Unrivaled and the WNBPA, which allowed the upstart 3x3 league to use player branding on merchandise — benefitting both the offseason venture and its athletes as they monetized their names, images, and likenesses.

Fans can now browse inventory and place bids to secure memorabilia from Unrivaled's debut season online at The Realest.

For those hoping for a guaranteed outcome, Unrivaled also added a game-worn mystery jersey to its offerings, with a limited 50 surprise jerseys currently available outside of the auction as a direct sale.

The LPGA is hitting the green in teams on Wednesday night, as some of the top golfers on Tour link up to represent their countries at the 2025 International Crown in South Korea.

This fifth edition of the match-play tournament will see seven teams from the USA, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Sweden, and China, as well as a mixed World Team taking on the reigning champion squad out of Thailand this week.

Comprised of the four top-ranked LPGA players from each nation, countries earn a team spot in the biennial International Crown based on the combined rankings of their best quartet of golfers — with those overall aggregates also determining tournament seeding.

The US topped all teams to snag this year's No. 1 seed, though the squad suffered a significant availability blow earlier this month when world No. 2 Nelly Korda withdrew from the 2025 International Crown due to injury.

No. 28 Yealimi Noh will compete in Korda's place, with the 24-year-old joining No. 10 Angel Yin, No. 16 Lauren Coughlin, and No. 33 Lilia Vu on Team USA.

Led by another 24-year-old, LPGA Tour debutant No. 6 Miyu Yamashita, No. 2 seed Japan appears to be the team to beat, with the World Team's fourth-ranked Lydia Ko (New Zeland) and fifth-ranked Charley Hull (England) upping the stakes for the No. 7 seed squad.

How to watch the 2025 International Crown

The four-day 2025 International Crown will tee off at 10 PM ET on Wednesday night, with live coverage of each day of competition airing on the Golf Channel.

With the first-ever eight-team PWHL season fast approaching next month, the pro women’s hockey league unveiled the inaugural jerseys for incoming 2025/26 expansion sides Seattle and Vancouver on Tuesday.

The new teams will wear jerseys displaying their city names across the front, following suit after the six founding PWHL franchises debuted without original names or branding during their inaugural 2023/24 campaign.

Per this week's press release, Seattle's colors are "deep slate green and cream with a river blue accent," while Vancouver will sport "pacific blue and cream with an earthy bronze accent."

In addition to "allowing fans to immediately identify with their hometown's newest professional team," PWHL EVP of business operations Amy Scheer explained in a Tuesday statement that "These designs also connect our expansion teams to the league's foundation while they continue building their own traditions and ties to the community."

While the PWHL will reveal the full team identities — complete with names and logos — before the puck drops on the 2025/26 season on November 21st, Seattle and Vancouver will play in their generic branding until next season.

How to purchase PWHL Seattle and Vancouver jerseys

The dark-colored replica home jerseys for both Seattle and Vancouver are currently available for purchase alongside all PWHL merch at the league's online shop.

Women's professional baseball will soon be a reality, with the incoming WPBL announcing its four inaugural teams on Tuesday ahead of the league's November draft.

Kicking off with a coast-to-coast imprint, major sports hubs Boston, New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco will house the founding WPBL teams, with the quartet of cities tapped "because of their fan support, market size, media presence, and rich baseball histories."

"We are so excited to finally announce the WPBL's first four teams," WPBL co-founder Justine Siegal said in the league's Tuesday press release. "Each of these cities are storied sports cities and we can't wait to connect with the fans who live there and baseball fans across the country."

Originally developed as a six-team venture, the 2026 debut of the WPBL will mark the first pro women's league in the US since the legendary World War II-era All-American Girls Professional Baseball League folded in 1954.

Each of the four inaugural team will feature 15 players, with next month's WPBL draft drawing from the top 100 players coming out of August's open tryouts.

The league's first competitive cycle will include a regular season, a postseason, and an all-star competition held at a neutral venue.
