UConn women’s basketball landed at No. 2 in the AP Preseason Poll, which came out on Tuesday. The Huskies were behind defending champions LSU and picked up one first-place vote.
Despite its season ending earlier than any other since 2005, expectations are high for UConn with Paige Bueckers back from a torn ACL along with the return of All-American Aaliyah Edwards as well as Azzi Fudd and Nika Mühl. The Huskies also get a healthy Ice Brady after she missed all of last season with a knee injury and brought in an impressive freshman class that includes point guard KK Arnold, do-it-all guard Ashlynn Shade, and wing Qadence Samuels.
