We’re a week into the college basketball season, and with in excess of 120 Aussie women in NCAA Division I, there is no shortage of stories emerging throughout the first few days of action. We could be here all week covering players who have had intriguing starts to the season, but allow me to (for once) show some modicum of restraint when discussing women’s college basketball and focus on five things that caught my eye in the opening week of the 2022-23 campaign.
