"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."
"That's the highlight of the holiday week tournaments and games -- but far from the only meaningful and intriguing action around the country and across the globe over the next 10 days. Games from Puerto Rico to Cancun and from Florida to Texas help create one of the best stretches on the basketball calendar this season. Many of these games will have far-reaching implications into March and could be the difference between being in or out of the NCAA tournament field."
Las Vegas will host the Players Era Women's Championship at Michelob ULTRA Arena, featuring Duke, South Carolina, Texas and UCLA, offering NIL money and elite-team separation opportunities. The tournament is framed as a Final Four-caliber event and a marquee holiday-week highlight. Numerous holiday-week tournaments and games across the U.S. and globe—from Puerto Rico and Cancun to Florida and Texas—create one of the season's best stretches. Many matchups could have far-reaching March implications and affect NCAA tournament inclusion. The WBCA Showcase at ESPN Wide World of Sports in Orlando matches No. 7 Bears against No. 19 Hawkeyes at 9 p.m. ET, and the Hall of Fame Showcase in Uncasville includes Syracuse and Utah at 5 p.m. ET on FS2.
