On Monday night, Jordan Hobbs was selected No. 34 overall by the Seattle Storm in the WNBA draft. Hobbs’ selection makes her the ninth WNBA draftee for the Michigan women’s basketball team, and the third in the last four years. While Hobbs earned her starting role in her junior season, her senior year put her on the map. As the Wolverines’ only returning starter, Hobbs stepped up as a leader and an offensive contributor.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Long Island Lutheran high school coach Christina Raiti recalled a promise. The Crusaders had just lost by one point in the Nike Tournament of Champions in Phoenix.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — “Annoying,” “pesky,” “irritating.”Sophomore guard Macy Brown had some interesting adjectives to describe junior guard Brooke Quarles Daniels, her teammate on the Michigan women’s basketball team. A native of Michigan herself, Brown played against Quarles Daniels growing up and was always bothered by Quarles Daniels’ trademark defense.

The No. 6 seed Michigan women’s basketball team and No. 11 Iowa State operate as opposite as can be. The Cyclones revolve around All-American center Audi Crooks, operating with meticulous inside-out basketball. The Wolverines work through all five guards on the floor and run teams out of the gym. But in the fourth quarter, the Wolverines’ (23-10) starting weapons cut through Iowa State’s (23-12) defense late in the game to secure a 80-74 win and advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — When assistant coach for player development Natalie Achonwa steps onto the court with the No. 6 seed Michigan women’s basketball team for the first round of the NCAA Tournament, she’ll be struck with a weird feeling. For every other member of the Wolverines, traveling to host team Notre Dame is a trek into foreign territory, simply a business trip. But for Achonwa, it’s a trip home. From 2011 to 2014, Achonwa was a forward for the Fighting Irish.
Inside Michigan drawing offensive fouls

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — If there’s one play that hypes up the No. 6 seed Michigan women’s basketball team, it’s a player taking a charge. The Wolverines’ opponent drives into the lane, attacking the basket. Without hesitation, a Michigan defender will slide over, plant her feet and cross her arms over her chest. As soon as contact is initiated by the Wolverines’ opponent, players rise from their seats on the bench — they know what’s coming.

From the beginning of the season, the Michigan women’s basketball team’s freshmen had the opportunity to define the Wolverines’ trajectory. The highest-rated recruiting class in program history immediately earned three starting roles in a lineup full of vacancies, with freshman guards Olivia Olson, Syla Swords and Mila Holloway bursting onto the scene. Since then, the trio has started every healthy game.
Women’s Month Weekly: We need more people in the room

My second-ever flash gamer for The Michigan Daily’s women’s basketball beat definitely wasn’t a walk in the park. Getting a story publishable by the final buzzer is always challenging in a tight game. It became exponentially harder when Michigan was at the free throw line in a one-point game with 18.2 seconds left and all I had was a radio stream and Twitter video clips to work with.

It’s no secret that expectations for the Michigan women’s basketball team at the beginning of the season were up in the air. With only one returning starter and four returning players on the roster, the Wolverines weren’t exactly a NCAA Tournament lock back in November. But after forging its gritty, transition-based identity in a grueling early stretch, Michigan has finally hit its stride right in time for the Big Dance.
