I just looked at the roster for pre-season #4 UCLA,
and it is very POST-HEAVY, which is the complete
opposite of pre-season #16 Stanford's line-up.
UCLA's post players (PF/C):
BETTS 6'7
ANSTLEY 6'4
BESSOIR 6'4 - will most likely be forced to play some SF
DUGALIC 6'4
MUSE 6'4
SONTAG 6'3 - will most likely be forced to play some SF
IWUALA 6'2
UCLA's Others (SF/SG/PG):
JACQUEZ 6'0 - SF
BROWN 5'11 - SG
RICE 5'11 - PG
OSBORNE 5'9 - PG
JONES 5'4 - SG
Stanford's Post Players (PF/C):
BRINK 6'4
IRIAFEN 6'3
AGARA 6'2
Stanford's Others (SF/SG/PG):
DEMETRE 6'3 - SF, but will most likely be forced to play some PF
BOSGANA 6'2 - SG
OGDEN 6'1 - SF
JUMP 6'0 - SG
PAPADAKI 5'11 - SG
HARRIEL 5'10 - PG
CLARDY 5'9 - SG
GREENE 5'8 - PG
LEPOLO 5'7 - PG
Emily Bessoir played the wing for her German club team and German Junior National team before entering UCLA. Similarly Lina Sontag played guard before joining UCLA. Bessoir and Sontag played for German Senior Women’s team at the FIBA 2023 Women’s EuroBasket Championship in June. Bessoir played at wing and Sontag played shooting guard.
Bessoir had to play the 4 and sometimes 5 because UCLA lacked height on the roster. The additions of Lauren Betts, Amanda Muse and the return of Angela Dugalic and Izzy Anstey from injury give the Bruins depth in the post and allow Bessoir and Sontag to play at their normal wing position.
