UH women’s basketball is coming off a 2020-21 season that served as a major step forward for the program.

Following two straight losing seasons, the Cougars finished with a 17-8 record last year and finished third in the American Athletic Conference women’s basketball standings.

With his team picked to finish third in the AAC coaches poll, Cougars head coach Ronald Hughey is looking forward to the upcoming season and feels this year’s team is primed for another big season.

“We’re just so excited about the opportunity to compete this year,” Hughey said.
