Brink, Haley and Hannah are set.
We need another point guard and 3 player, preferably a 1 and 3 that DEFENSIVE REBOUNDS.

Nivar, Hannah, Bosgana, Haley and Brink

Nivar, Hannah, Haley, Brink, Ashten

(You have exactly ZERO chance against S.Carolina without Ashten’s defense on Boston and rebounding. Zero. Zilch. None. Why I keep coming back to her (though it looks like she has checked out) is because she plays on the perimeter on offense and teams respect her shot despite her percentage and that leaves SPACING for Haley to penetrate and do what she does best. She allows Brink to roam and be a true 4 on defense).

Off the bench: Ashten/Bosgana/Nivar (whichever one is not starting), Kiki, Brooke (only if she plays with good defenders and rebounders because she is targeted by the other team because of her slow feet), Lepolo, Fran

You probably not going beyond 7-8 deep (5 starters/ 2 bench players) from Elite 8 onward.


Either lineup gets you a PAC-12 regular season and tourney title easily. You will need better perimeter shooting to get to a Final Four and to that championship game but the new starting 5 need significant playing time together
