DE A R

On behalf of the BIG EAST Conference, welcome to the 2024 BIG EAST Women’s Basketball Tournament presented by JEEP. We have been excited to see the continued FA N S progress our women’s basketball teams have made on the court, challenging themselves in the non-conference portions of their schedules in preparation for their BIG EAST slates and for postseason runs in March. We look forward to bringing some of the best teams in college basketball back to Connecticut for the BIG EAST Women’s Basketball Tournament and showcasing them at Mohegan Sun Arena.

FOX Sports has been an outstanding partner to BIG EAST women’s basketball this season, providing national exposure to all of our programs during the regular season and complete coverage of the BIG EAST Tournament Quarterfinals, Semifinals and Final. For the second straight year, FloSports has been the home of women’s basketball on the BIG EAST Digital Network presented by SoFi. BEDN on FloSports has been an incredible platform for wall-to-wall coverage of all BIG EAST games not designated for television. BEDN on FloSports has not only been fantastic for BIG EAST women’s basketball, but for all 22 of our sports, with nearly 600 live events scheduled to stream this year.

We would like to extend a special thanks to Mohegan Sun Arena, FOX Sports, JEEP, our marketing partners, our schools’ athletics leadership, and the many people who have helped make this year’s tournament a reality.

Commissioner Most of all, we want to thank you the Val Ackerman fans for your loyal and passionate support of our players, coaches and schools.

Women’s basketball fans are second to none in the state of Connecticut, and we’re eager to bring you our marquee event. Enjoy the games!
