The 2024–25 East Texas A&M Lions women's basketball team represents East Texas A&M University in the 2024–25 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Lions, led by second year head coach Valerie King, play their home games at Texas A&M–Commerce Field House in Commerce, Texas, as members of the Southland Conference (SLC).
This season marked East Texas A&M's third year of a four-year transition period from Division II to Division I. As a result, the Lions will not be eligible for NCAA postseason play until the 2026–27 season.[1][2]
This is the first season for the university under its then-current identity. On November 7, 2024, after the Lions had played their first game of the 2024–25 season,[3] the Texas A&M University System Board of Regents approved the proposed change of the university's name to East Texas A&M University. The name change took effect immediately.[4]
Media
[edit]Home games are broadcast on ESPN+.
