TEMPE- For the first time in 222 days, the Arizona State Sun Devils women's basketball team will begin its new season at home, welcoming the Jackson State Tigers on Monday. When asked how it feels to start a new season, head coach Molly Miller said she had a chance to catch up with Charli Turner Thorne, the longtime former head coach of Arizona State women's basketball, who has been attending practices. Miller and Turner Thorne also crossed paths this past summer while workin

Molly Miller's second act will be here soon, as Arizona State looks to build on the momentum of last year's surprise tournament team. Miller has retooled the roster and upgraded her overall lineup, evidenced by the team's selection to finish fifth by Big 12 media members. In anticipation of the season tipping off, here are our preseason power rankings for the conference, which mirror the ballot that Echo From the Buttes submitted to the Big 12.

The Big 12 sent shockwaves through the college athletics world on Friday when it was announced that Commissioner Brett Yormark will step down from his post no later than the end of January 2027. Yormark joined the Big 12 as its commissioner back in August of 2022, leaving his job as CEO of Jay-Z's Roc Nation just months before the Big 12 lost Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC. While many expected the conference to fold and be absorbed by other power conferences, Yormark stabilize

On Tuesday in Kansas City for the Big 12 Basketball Media Days, Molly Miller and her three players in attendance - McKinna Brackens, Ruby Whitehorn, and Rashunda Jones - talked about how they're built to expand on last year's runaway success that saw the Sun Devils reach the NCAA Tournament. Just a few hours later, the Associated Press released their preseason Top 25 and, while the voters are clearly expecting big things from Miller's squad, they're not ready just yet to lump

Perhaps the biggest surprise in women's basketball last year was the Sun Devils. Molly Miller's first year on the job, following two spectacular runs at alma mater Drury and then Grand Canyon University, was supposed to be a rebuilding year. Arizona State had won just 10 games the year before and hadn't been to the NCAA Tournament in six years, which coincidentally was the last time the program had a winning record. The Sun Devils won 24 games, including going undefeated in t

Basketball season is upon us. The NBA tipped off their new season Wednesday night, but earlier in the day in Kansas City, the Big 12 held its first of two days of their Basketball Media Days, presented by Monster Energy. And with that brought the overwhelming feeling of optimism for both Sun Devil programs. On one hand, Molly Miller is entering her second season leading the Sun Devils with raised expectations. One of the winningest active coaches in women's basketball, Miller

TEMPE- Arizona State women's basketball head coach Molly Miller spoke to the media on Wednesday, as the school quickly became one of the top six programs in the Big 12. In March 2025, the Sun Devils appointed Molly Miller as head coach of the women's basketball program, setting the stage for a new era. "It was really fun for me to have year one under my belt and returners come and speak my language, show the example instead of me getting down in a defensive stance," Miller sa

TEMPE- In less than a month, guard Ruby Whitehorn will make her debut for the Arizona State women's basketball program. Back in February, the Sun Devils acquired a top-tier player via the transfer portal, and Whitehorn had the chance to observe Molly Miller's coaching style during the games. "Coming in early definitely helped me learn Coach Molly's process and her system a lot more, and get to take time to build a relationship with her better and with the returning teammates

TEMPE- As the Arizona State women's basketball are preparing for the new season, one of the returners, senior forward McKinna Brackens, had the opportunity to represent Team USA 3x3 in Wuhan, China, and take home the gold medal. When Brackens returned to Tempe, head coach Molly Miller acknowledged that her international experience had improved her game before she begins her second season with the Sun Devils. On her Instagram page, she shared vlogs documenting her experience i

TEMPE- Sun Devil athletics director Graham Rossini does it again. He agreed to a contract extension with Arizona State women's basketball head coach Molly Miller, just eight months after signing football head coach Kenny Dillingham to a five-year extension, on Thursday. In Miller's first season as head coach for the Sun Devils, she led the team to one of their best starts in program history with an undefeated record of 15-0. More importantly, she led Arizona State to one of t

TEMPE- The Arizona State Sun Devils women's basketball team is preparing for its upcoming season after one of its special seasons, in which they had their first trip to the NCAA Women's Tournament since 2019. After a successful offseason, second-year head coach Molly Miller notes that the Sun Devils' newcomers are quickly adapting and learning from last year's returning players. "Honestly, this is one of my favorite summers that I've ever had," Miller told reporters Wednesday

Molly Miller's first year in Tempe exceeded even the most optimistic Sun Devil's expectations. Taking over a program that had won just 29 games in their past three seasons, Miller led Arizona State to a 24-11 record and an appearance in the First Four of the NCAA Tournament. With four players graduating from that roster, as well as four others entering the transfer portal, Miller and her staff took to the portal again to reshape the roster going into her second season.
