Whiting vs. Westminster: 2-0

BYU Cougars (16-16, 6-12 Big 12 Conference)

SOME FAMILIAR FACES: The Cougars return just four players from a season ago while adding five true freshmen and four Division I transfers to the 2024-25 roster. Despite losing its two top scorers in Lauren Gustin (graduation) and Kailey Woolston (LDS mission) from a year ago, BYU returns three players in Amari Whiting, Emma Calvert and Lauren Davenport who each started at least 10 games last season.

KEY TRANSFERS TO WATCH: Whiting also added four transfers: Kemery (Martín) Congdon from Cal, Marya Hudgins from Santa Clara, Hattie Ogden from Buffalo and Kendra Gillispie from Arkansas State who will play big minutes in 2024-25. 

FIVE NEW FRESHMEN: The third-year head coach brings in a highly-touted group of freshmen led by Delaney Gibb who is the 77th-ranked player in ESPN’s 2024 HoopGurlz Recruiting Rankings. Gibb is joined by two-time Idaho 4A Player of the Year Brinley Cannon, three-time Utah 6A state champions Sarah Bartholomew and Naia Tanuvasa and Idaho 5A All-State honoree Kambree Barber.
