107: Women's Basketball Preview 2024-25

Can you believe it? Basketball season is upon us! On episode 107 of Tritoncast, we head inside LionTree Arena to preview the upcoming women’s basketball season with head coach Heidi VanDerveer. She’ll talk with ESPN's Steve Quis about the returning standouts – including reigning Big West Freshman of the Year, Sumayah Sugapong – as well as some of the team's new pieces who may play an important role. The Tritons' early season schedule is no joke, and Coach VanDerveer explains why it's so important to be tested early. She also lets us in on how defense will be key this year. Our women’s basketball season preview is in the Triton Spotlight this week. Plus, host Jeff Tourial takes the usual trip around campus for the latest in UC San Diego Athletics.
