Caitlin Clark era in Big Ten women's basketball has belonged to a pair of newcomers. USC and UCLA have been atop the standings for the duration and have to be considered co-favorites as they enter the 2025 Big Ten women's tournament in Indianapolis for the first time.

Indianapolis is the traditional home of the Big Ten women's basketball tournament, hosting the event 25 times between Hinkle Fieldhouse, the RCA Dome and Gainbridge Fieldhouse since the tournament launched in 1995. The tournament has been held in the Chicago area twice, in Grand Rapids once, and in Minneapolis twice, each of the last two years.

The Iowa women’s basketball team will begin their quest for a fourth consecutive Big Ten Tournament title run in Indianapolis with a rematch against Wisconsin on Wednesday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis,
