TAMPA – Graduate center Khadija Faye was named to the Women's College All-Star Game Watch List presented by Herbalife, having been selected by a distinguished panel of national media experts to potentially compete in the national showcase event on April 5 in Tampa.
The 2025 Women's College All-Star Game will feature the top senior standouts who are on the precipice of hearing their names called in the WNBA Draft. Of the more than 60 players that appear on the watch list, 20 will ultimately be selected to participate in the event, which will be televised by ESPN2 at 3 p.m. ET on April 5.
Faye, a native of Dakar, Senegal, is having the best season of her career thus far – averaging 17.6 points, 9.3 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game, while shooting 48.3 percent from the field.
The Women's College All-Star Game will provide the country's brightest college stars one final opportunity to represent their programs and be recognized against the backdrop of the sport's championship weekend. While inexhaustive of eligible players as stars emerge during the season's final month, Faye is one of many notable standouts to appear on the watch list, which also includes:
- UConn's Paige Bueckers
- Notre Dame's Olivia Miles and Sonia Citron
- LSU's Aneesah Morrow
- South Carolina's Te-Hina Paopao
- USC's Kiki iIriafen
- TCU's Hailey Van Lith
- Kansas State's Ayoka Lee
The complete watch list can be found on the event's website at www.womenscollegeallstar.com. The final event roster will be announced the week of the event. Participants in the Women's College All-Star Game will be players that have exhausted or will forgo their remaining eligibility.
Last April, 20 of college basketball's top senior standouts converged in Cleveland to rekindle the postseason event that Intersport helped originally launch in 1998. There, five All-Americans, more than a dozen All-Conference standouts and four future WNBA draft picks competed in front of nearly 5,000 fans on the eve of the sport's national championship game.

Intersport launched the inaugural Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) All-Star Challenge in 1998, which the WBCA operated through 2006. The Chicago-based agency was also a longstanding partner with the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame and ESPN to stage the prestigious Women's Tip-Off Classic that annually featured the sport's top programs in high-profile matchups as part of ESPN's early season programming. Today, Intersport continues to operate major men's and women's college basketball events throughout the season, including the CBS Sports Classic, the Elevance Health Women's Fort Myers Tip-Off, Arizona Tip-Off and other major showcase events.
