2025/2026 Record Prediction

It does not sound like Geno is talking about the loss to CKC's Tennessee last season at all. Bueckers would not have considered transferring after that loss in her final season of eligibility.

Most likely, Geno is talking about their Final four loss to Arizona during PB's freshman season. I believe that was their first loss of the season (and they beat Kellie's LVs that season as well)

Why is everyone assuming that out of the Pauldos, Nya, Hurst, Prawl and the rest that we won't average at least as high a 3 pt percentage as last year?

We could still end up shooting a higher percentage than last year even if none of the new players pan out to be deadeyes simply because there are more players who are decent at it and teams can't key on any one of them. Kim has kind of hinted at us not being great at shooting the three, but she is hard to please and it may be coach speak to some extent.

Is this an AI response? Just curious.

It seems all 14 can shoot the 3. Maybe they all can make at least 1 or 2

We were hitting last night and if we get traction of that and can shoot like 34/35% as a team that would just help that much more. Especially if it’s spread around and the defense can’t focus in!

I assumed it because we lost some really good shooters and didn’t seem to bring in anyone with that same type of percentages. Even Spencer improved tremendously here. Nya is a career 35% shooter overall but like spencer not being the #1 option could def benefit her. The others haven’t been great 3% shooters from what I could remember but they’ve been putting in work and hope it continues!
