Women's basketball outlooks shift for Big Sky, Big South and Big West
Summary

Recent podcast analysis examines roster changes and conference expansions across three mid-major women’s basketball leagues. The Big Sky adds Southern Utah and Utah Tech, with Montana State returning the majority of a roster led by Taylee Chirrick. In the Big South, High Point faces a transition after losing several players who contributed to a 13-3 conference finish, potentially opening opportunities for Radford and Longwood. The Big West undergoes a realignment, incorporating California Baptist, Sacramento State and Utah Valley as UC Davis and Hawaii depart. UC San Diego enters the season with momentum following consecutive tournament appearances and the return of Erin Condron.
