The 2020-21 NCAAW season is set to kick off Nov. 25 but uncertainty over soaring rates of coronavirus infection nationwide has altered how most teams will play their seasons. With some teams and conferences already announcing the cancellation of their seasons, there is no guarantee the show will go on. Yet, as the scheduled tipoff nears, fans are keeping an eye to the future of women’s basketball. At Swish Appeal, we also are honoring the great players of the past for the top-five teams entering the 2020-21 NCAAW season: No. 5 Connecticut Huskies, No. 4 Maryland Terrapins, No. 3 Baylor Lady Bears, No. 2 Oregon Ducks and No. 1 South Carolina Gamecocks.
With hopes that the likes of Christyn Williams (Connecticut), Ashley Owusu (Maryland), NyLyssa Smith (Baylor), Erin Boley (Oregon) and Aliyah Boston (South Carolina) can continue to build collegiate legacies in the 2020-21 season, here’s a look at the all-time stars at their respective programs who came before.
