Baylor’s NaLyssa Smith, UConn’s Paige Bueckers lead The Athletic’s women’s college basketball preseason All-Americans

We’re less than a month away from kicking off the college basketball season, and how close to normal it all feels.

Last year, the women’s NCAA Tournament was played at a single site in San Antonio, Texas. It led to change-making moments as players highlighted the differences between men’s and women’s sites. It also provided great basketball, with Arizona powering its way to the title game with an upset over No. 1 seed UConn and Stanford moving past South Carolina. Stanford was crowned champion.

Stars like Charli Collier and Aari McDonald have moved on to the WNBA, but the season ahead will feature bright returning stars while simultaneously welcoming new anticipated faces.
