Stacked doubleheader in Paris opens women's hoops season, headlined by No. 3 USC, No. 5 UCLA
A doubleheader in Paris is as good as it gets to open the women's college basketball season
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — This women’s basketball foursome is no stranger to playing under bright lights on big stages. But it's Paris this time.
The City of Light will be a completely different venue and experience when No. 3 USC, crosstown rival and No. 5 UCLA, No. 17 Louisville and No. 20 Ole Miss take the court Monday in the Aflac Oui-Play doubleheader to open the women's college basketball season.
Several months after a thrilling Olympic gold medal game between Team USA and host France enhanced the game’s rapidly growing appeal, this ranked quartet are eager to maintain that momentum.
“It’s a really good opportunity for us,” Ole Miss guard Kennedy Todd-Williams said. “Big lights, you know, really big game. We came here to compete and showcase who we are. First game of the season, so we’re just really looking forward to this opportunity for everyone to compete on a high level.”
