I thought the very same thing today. Coincidence.
However for next season, it’s a super trade in theory.

Cubaj will be missed. She is a generational athlete and competitor. But, the future looks good.

Amy Baum (5-7 SR guard, Melbourne, Australia) has entered her name into the portal, out of D-II Hawai'i Pacific WBB; started the first 7 games this season: 12.6 PPG, 9.4 RPG, 6.6 APG; PacWest player of the year the last two seasons.

I think Bulane plays a major role next season. To me she shows a lot of promise as a point guard. You can see she comes so close to making a lot of super passes. She sees the court very well but being a freshman she underestimates the speed and quickness of her opponents at this level compared to what she dealt with in Europe. I think next season her growth will be exponential as it is for many making the transition from year one to year two. This frees Lahtinen up to play the two spot which I think is more natural for her. Should that be the case we could mix and match with a three guard lineup when needed while still having the size to put out a big lineup as well. Obviously not having Cubaj back is a huge loss but if Hermosa improves as much next year as she has this year it will mitigate it somewhat. I don't think we will be near as physical next year but I believe we will be a much better shooting team.

@78pike -Wasn’t omitting Bulane out of the equation, just a starting two deep.
Harrison, Ines and the 15th schollie(which could be a Post Player?), could break through. Especially with attrition or injuries. Clark, seems to have accepted her role like others have before her with getting that 40 year degree.

We will miss Stroutmane also....she was/is a terrific pick up from the transfer portal.

So Lahtinen will be staying an extra year?

 

[Buzzbomb]

I think Lahtinen takes that extra year from coronageddon.

GT projected as a #4 seed and would host in McCamish(Mutts, would host in Athens/Hel_). WF, first four out….

Women's Bracketology: Which teams join South Carolina on the top line?

WF won in Atlanta last year. They have the ACC leading scorer. Tech is coming off of exams. I like Strautmane taking open 3’s with her size over the Zone. It also opens up some stick backs from Cubaj. Hermosa needs to be more active on the offensive end. Try to take some of the pressure off the Point Guards.

Need a pick me up after men's basketball.

Wake is a bubble out team, so we should beat them at home?!

Sarah Bates’ signature 3-pointer followed path from mid-major to Georgia Tech

Over a four-game stretch, Sarah Bates attempted 24 3-point shots. She made only five, and frustration started to linger as she could only assume that missing nine months with an ankle injury had led to this drought.

Elizabeth Kitley is dominating FSU in Tallahassee today. 34 points and 13 rebounds. Hokies win 92-75.

Watching the UConn - UL game and the announcers are interesting in their dialog about UConn. All the comments are about how much they have improved since the 2nd half of the UCLA game. They have not mentioned the GT game at all.
