It seems strange to say that a team that lost Bueckers might be better than it was a year ago, but this Huskies team could be even more successful than the 2024-25 version that lost three games en route to the national title. In adding Wisconsin transfer Serah Williams, coach Geno Auriemma provides help that Strong might not even need but will surely welcome.
