2025 Paradise Jam Expands to Three Women's Divisions

The 2025 Paradise Jam women's basketball tournament will take place from November 27-29 in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, now featuring three divisions: Island, Reef, and Harbor. The Island Division includes BYU, Oregon State, Virginia Tech, and Vanderbilt, with BYU making its first trip to the Virgin Islands and opening against Virginia Tech. In the Reef Division, Washington State and Miami (OH) will compete, with WSU potentially facing top-5 preseason pick LSU if both win their openers. The Harbor Division features North Dakota (UND) opening against Boise State. All games will be streamed on ESPN+, and the tournament serves as a critical non-conference test for participants. The field blends mid-majors and highly ranked programs, offering valuable exposure and competition.
