Virginia Women's Basketball Reborn

Aaron Roussell is ushering in a new era for Virginia women’s basketball, inheriting a talented roster and a Sweet Sixteen run from last season. The key to his success? The return of All-ACC guard Kymora Johnson, who averaged nearly 20 points and 6 assists — her decision to stay has energized the team and signaled a return to glory days. Roussell’s roster also includes experienced transfers and promising freshmen, bolstered by a $3 million pledge from Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian. With preseason top-25 rankings and a stacked ACC, Virginia is poised to be a serious contender again — after years of rebuilding, the Cavaliers are back in the conversation.
