I agree that it will be difficult to repeat as #2 in the conference behind Baylor, but I do have hope.
We will need incoming Freshman Maggie McGraw to have a good year. Maybe even be the starting PG by Christmas. If not, maybe that means that Rae Johnson is stepping up her game. We really need these two to give us a solid year at the PG position.
I also think it important that Madison Wise find her 3-point shot again as she dropped from 41.4% as a Freshman to 28.7% as a Sophomore. I hope she adds the dribble drive to her game too, she has shown flashes of that skill. Since she shot 90% from the line last year, we need to find ways to get her there more often.
Ashley Joens and Kristin Scott just need to continue their development.
After that we need a "surprise" upside year from somebody else. It would be nice if it came from an inside player like Ines Nezerwa or Morgan Kane.
There is little evidence to base this on, but I have a feeling that Jade Thurmon just might have something special to show us for the 2019-2020 season.
