​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:Point guard: Sayvia Sellers, seniorSellers 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.Sayvia Sellers went off for 3️⃣8️⃣ in No. 25 @UW_WBB’s 2OT win over No. 16 Maryland 💥 pic.twitter.com/SmBG3TIWGP— Big Ten Women’s Basketball (@B1Gwbball) January 29, 2026Shooting guard: Avery Howell, juniorHowell 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.Three shots! Three 3-pointers! GREAT start for Avery Howell. 🔥🔥🔥 pic.twitter.com/fLzr1WpNOv— Washington Women’s Basketball (@UW_WBB) November 4, 2025Small forward: Macey Huard, seniorOne 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.Power forward: Brynn McGaughy, sophomoreMcGaughy, the highest-rated recruit in Langley’s tenure as head coach and a former McDonald’s All-American, steadily earn
