PK85 to host 8-team women’s tournament, headlined by Oregon Ducks and UConn Huskies

As part of the PK85, a group of the top women’s basketball teams will play in a tournament in Portland, headlined by Oregon and UCONN.

We knew that this coming year would include one of the premier basketball tournaments returning to the Pacific Northwest, with the Phil Knight Invitational taking place to honor the Nike co-founder’s 85th birthday.

The PK80 was held in 2017 to celebrate Knight’s 80th birthday, featuring some of the best teams in the nation in a winner-take-all tournament that was won by the Duke Blue Devils. On Tuesday, the field was announced for the PK85, but it was also revealed that an 8-team women’s tournament would also be held at the PK85, featuring some of the top WBB teams in the nation.

Here are the 8 women’s basketball teams who will be getting an invite:
