The Washington Huskies women's basketball team will likely have a slightly different look this season compared to previous years under head coach Tina Langley.

Last year was UW's best season since the Kelsey Plum-led teams of nearly a decade ago. The team advanced all the way to the Round of 32 before falling to the TCU Horned Frogs by three points in overtime.

Langley often has opted with a four-guard, one-big starting five during her tenure as head coach. But, the additions the team has made this offseason could provide options for the sixth-year head coach.

Here's a projection of the starting lineup for the Washington women's basketball team for the 2026-27 season:

Sellers will be entering this season coming off her best season in college and will be one of the premier guards in the Big Ten.

In her fourth year in the Pacific Northwest under Langley, the 5-foot-7 guard averaged 18 points across 33 games (all starts) on 47.3% shooting from the field (35.4% from 3-point range). She also averaged 3.9 assists, 2.9 rebounds, 1.6 steals and nearly a block per game.

Sellers was a first-team All-Big Ten selection last season.

Howell transferred to the Huskies last year after spending her freshman season with the Southern California (USC) Trojans, and made her impact felt as the team's most efficient scorer and, arguably, the team's most impactful defender.

The Boise, Idaho, native averaged 14.2 points across 33 games (all starts) on a 50.8% clip from the floor (43.1% from beyond the arc). She led the team with 8.3 rebounds per contest and averaged 1.4 assists and 1.4 steals per game. She earned All-Big Ten honorable mention honors for her efforts.

One of the several transfer portal additions for Washington this offseason was a player who's a part of one of the most notable names in UW athletics.

Huard's father, Brock Huard, played quarterback for the Huskies football team and her mother, Molly (Hills) Huard, played for the women's basketball team. Macey Huard transferred to the team from the Oklahoma State Cowgirls.

Huard missed the 2025-26 season due to injury but showed flashes of potentially solid traits as a wing.

In the 2024-25 season, her first with Oklahoma State after transferring from the Big Sky's Montana Grizzlies, Huard averaged 6.4 points on 39.5% shooting (32.3% on 3-pointers) across 31 games (three starts). She also pulled in 3.5 rebounds per game.

McGaughy, the highest-rated recruit in Langley's tenure as head coach and a former McDonald's All-American, steadily earned her place among the starters her freshman season.

The Colfax, Wash., native was named to the Big Ten All-Freshman team. She finished her first season on Montlake having averaged 9.3 points across 33 games (10 starts) on 48% shooting from the floor. She also pulled in 4.3 rebounds, dished 1.2 assists and blocked a shot a game.

Perhaps the biggest acquisition via the transfer portal for UW was 6-foot-6 big Tilda Trygger, who Washington acquired from North Carolina State.

In her sophomore season with the Wolfpack, Trygger averaged 10.6 points on a 51.8% mark from the field (33.9% from 3-point range) across 30 games (all starts). She also averaged seven rebounds, 1.3 blocks and 1.2 assists per contest.

With Trygger on the team, Langley will be able to go with a traditional two-big starting five with her and McGaughy. Last season, the head coach's four-guard starting five often featured either McGaughy or Yulia Grabovskaia in the post.

Guard Hannah Stines, one of the players a part of Langley's first true recruiting class, served as a secondary point guard on the floor with Sellers. She was capable of running the offense if Sellers was focused on scoring or running the point when Sellers was off the court.

Carlson, who transferred from Colorado State, has a similar skillset. As a result of the team's new two-big starting five, Carlson would likely be the first player off the bench or serve in that secondary point role when Langley goes with with a small-ball starting five.

Carlson averaged 11.7 points on 42.4% shooting across 35 games (all starts) with the Rams last season. She also averaged 3.1 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.4 steals per contest.
