Women's college basketball watchlist: 11/5

The women’s basketball season has arrived. It’s a bit of a slow day, but still some good game action to keep you entertained during the first week of hoops. 

BE SEATED AT ALL COSTS

These are the games you’re going to want to skip work for – the ones that will tell us a whole lot about the best of the best.

7pm: Fairfield at Villanova (ESPN+)

This is the game I’ll certainly be sat for tonight as one of the best mid-majors in the country faces off against a new-look Villanova squad.

A DECENT FIRST LOOK AND/OR AT OPTIMAL TIMES

These games will either be a solid first look at a P5 team or they just fall at optimal times. If you’re in need of basketball to watch all day (like me), these are games to add to your list.

2pm: UC Irvine at San Diego (ESPN+)

7pm: Fairleigh Dickinson at Notre Dame (ACC Extra)

7:30pm: Kansas City at Kansas (ESPN+)

7:30pm: Oakland at Wisconsin (Big Ten+)

8pm: Texas A&M-CC at Texas A&M (SECN+)

8pm: IU Indy at Northwestern (Big Ten+)

9pm: Coastal Carolina at BYU (ESPN+) 

9:30pm: Washington State at UNLV

WATCH YOUR TEAM WIN A BLOWOUT

The rest of the games here will likely provide no true competitive value – but you never know. These games are your first look at some P5’s playing teams they should beat with ease. 

7:30pm: Southern at Iowa State (ESPN+)

7:30pm: East Texas A&M at Oklahoma State (ESPN+)
