Head coach Becky Burke called Arizona a complete rebuild at Big XII media days on Tuesday. Burke recanted the process she and her staff have had since being hired in April. Redshirt junior forward Montaya Dew is the only returning player from the 2024-25 Arizona roster.
Graduate transfers Noelani Cornfield and Mickayla Perdue and junior Sumaya Sugapong joined Burke in Kansas City for Big 12 Basketball Media Days. The Big XII is holding basketball media days for the women's programs on Tuesday, with the men appearing on Wednesday.
Cornfield played for Burke during the 2024-25 season at Buffalo.
