Roster for Lipscomb. BTW, they're the Bisons- maybe our Bison should show up and show them who's the real one lol

I tried to look up Lipscomb preseason projections but was pretty limited. Here's what the good ol' AI gave me from google:

Lipscomb women's basketball is expected to be a competitive team within the ASUN conference for the upcoming season, building on a recent record-breaking year where they consistently competed for championships. They are likely to finish with a strong conference record and potentially contend for a high seed in the ASUN tournament. 

 

2025-2026 Season Outlook 

• Competitive Contender: The Bisons have established a program that consistently competes for the conference championship, indicating expectations remain high.
• Strong Program: Lipscomb has had a history of success under coach Lauren Sumski, including three consecutive years with more than 17 overall wins and 10+ conference victories.
• Key Players: While specific 2025-2026 preseason All-ASUN predictions for the women's team are not available in the search results, the 2024-2025 team was led by key players such as B. Vinson (14.7 PPG), B. Vinson (6.4 RPG), and A. Cea (4.6 APG). Continued strong performance from returning players will be crucial.
• Statistical Strengths: The team's prior success was built on efficient scoring (second in the ASUN, top 50 nationally), strong three-point shooting (top 10 in NCAA DI), and disciplined play with few fouls and turnovers. 

Exact predictions for their final standing in the ASUN conference are not publicly available in the provided snippets, but their track record suggests they will be a significant factor in the league.

Seth Tow - Indiana women’s basketball is favored by 32.5 over Lipscomb tonight in the season-opener. Over/under 137.5.

Lipscomb returns 35% scoring and half of that is from a single player Molly Herd.  Freshman and couple transfers and new faces per A.R.

19-6 midway thru the 1st Q.  Hoosiers haven't missed a shot.

Pathetic crowd

The points system kills the incentive to buy season tickets in my opinion. I bought them last year for the first time and was stuck 40 rows up while many were empty below. Half the time I went I bought cheap tickets in the first 10 or 15 rows on vivid. 
 

this team is so much faster than the last couple years. Garzon moved like a potted plant

  25-12 end of 1.   Shooting % cooled off and finished 10-15 for the quarter.  Z with 8p and 4r. 

Stotjin, Makalusky and Noyan all saw 1st Q action.

31-14 with 7 min. left in the 2nd.  We have 3 with 2-fouls each:  Lenee, Stotjin & Noyan

Socka and Beaumont having strong games

[Stuhoo 93,238]

They look great!

Zania is one long, athletic big like no one we’ve had before.

And Caffey is destined to be one of the best players in program history.

My takeaways are this.
Zs athletic ability and skill are impressive. and that size. Hopefully she can stay out of foul trouble, will only get better every game. 
 

Beaumont has a lot of Berger in her with more range, will be really good. 
 

phoenix isn’t afraid to come off the bench and fire it up. Had some nice plays, will bring energy and scoring ability off the bench. 
 

shay is trying to do too much. 
 

kadlecova is as skilled and smooth as anyone we have and better than maya by a substantial margin
 

caffey is the real deal.
