I don't think some of you realize the turnaround this team made after Jan 28th, when Brooke reorganized the starting lineup. This team got exponentially better, and went 11-2 (.846) down the stretch, before finally losing the CUSA Tournament title in Frisco by only 5 pts to everybody's favorite, Charlotte. Then they lost in the 1st round of the NIT to Houston, but were competitive.
Even without ANY change to the roster, a 2023 version of these Lady Techsters should be a much better team and finish with a better record than they did in 2022. Simply put, 77% of this team's roster turned over last off-season, with 10 or 11 new faces. It took a while for this team to jell and for Brooke to finally figure out where everybody needs to play to really contribute. But the good news is, Brooke did figure it out, and this team will probably be considered one of the favorites to win CUSA for 2023.
