Molly Miller Aims to Revitalize Arizona State's NCAA Tournament Aspirations

The Arizona State women's basketball team has struggled since its last NCAA tournament appearance in 2019. The transition to the Big 12 was challenging, with a disappointing 3-15 record last season. Following three seasons under Natasha Adair, the program welcomed Molly Miller, who previously led Grand Canyon to a remarkable 30-win season. With nearly 300 career coaching victories, Miller is committed to establishing a sustainable program. Her coaching style emphasizes building a strong culture and daily progress, which she believes will lead to tournament success. Key players from last season, Jalyn Brown and Tyi Skinner, have transferred, but Miller has secured new talent, including senior Gabby Elliott, a skilled shooter. Senior Acacia Hayes and junior McKinna Brackens are also expected to contribute significantly. Despite ongoing roster adjustments, Miller's leadership and the team's potential should not be underestimated as they prepare to start the season on November 3 against Coppin State.
