SAM MOUSIGIAN/Daily

Kim Barnes Arico’s team has missed the NCAA Tournament in two straight years.
Michigan’s next 
step is an NCAA 
Tournament bid
Y

es, the Michigan women’s 
basketball team made it 
to the WNIT semifinals 

last season. 
Yes, it was 
great for the 
Wolverines 
to have an 
extra month 
to practice, 
compete 
and extend 
the seniors’ 
careers. And 
yes, Michigan 
was closer 
than ever before to hanging its 
first banner.

But the important part of 

that postseason run in April 
is that it pumped life back 
into the program itself. For a 
team that dropped too many 
one- or two-possession games 
during the regular season and 
suffered through some major 
inconsistencies, the WNIT gave 
the Wolverines a chance to prove 
they had the tenacity to beat 
quality opponents.

Though the WNIT was a 

second chance for Michigan, it’s 
no longer the goal. During the 
team’s media day in October, 
players made it clear that 
their focus was on the NCAA 
Tournament.

Junior guard Siera Thompson 

has had enough of the 
alternative.

“The last two years, I’ve 

been in the WNIT,” Thompson 
said. “It’s cool to still be playing 
in March or whatever, but we 
all obviously want to be in the 
NCAA Tournament. We weren’t 
satisfied with being in the 
WNIT. That’s our goal this year: 
not to let games slip away, like 
we did last year in conference.

“We don’t want the minimum. 

We want everything we can get.”

According to junior guard 

Danielle Williams, that is 
exactly the theme of the season: 
carpe omnia, which translates 
from Latin to “take everything” 
or “take it all.” There is an even 
larger emphasis on becoming 
“the hardest-working team 
in America,” but carpe omnia 
is sparking a higher level of 
motivation and competition 
within the team.

Considering that the 

Wolverines had all but won 
the WNIT Semifinal against 
UCLA before a few critical 
errors gave the Bruins a path 
into the championship, it makes 
sense that Michigan is focused 
on taking it all. Instead, the 
Wolverines learned what it was 
like to lose it all.

“Last year, we were so 

close (to making the NCAA 
Tournament), so that also drives 
us,” said sophomore guard 
Katelynn Flaherty. “I mean, we 
played against some great teams 
in the WNIT, and we should’ve 
beat UCLA. I believe that we had 
the game. That shows not only 
to me, but to the rest of the team, 
that we can compete with the 
best out there.”

The Wolverines did just that 

in their 109-39 win over Ferris 

State in Sunday’s exhibition 
game. Under fourth-year 
head coach Kim Barnes Arico, 
Michigan is loaded with 
underclassmen who are ripe to 
make huge leaps in their career. 
Barnes Arico certainly doesn’t 
lack options to choose from.

As for the returners, they’re 

still carrying a jolt of energy left 
behind by the WNIT run. Maybe 
they still hold a bit of anger, 
which has fueled their drive 
toward reaching carpe omnia.

“We were so angry and so 

upset the way that we had gone 
out of the Big Ten Tournament,” 
said senior guard Madison 
Ristovski. “We carried over that 
anger and put it into practice and 
put it into those games, and try to 
make the end of the year better.”

If that mentality holds firm, 

the team can be successful by the 
time the Big Ten schedule rolls 
around.

Sure, the Wolverines are at an 

enormous disadvantage without 
Cyesha Goree, Nicole Elmblad 
and Shannon Smith. The team is 
going to have to go the extra mile 
even to come close to making 
up for the production the senior 
class left behind on the court, 
but Ristovski said she doesn’t see 
why freshmen can’t do it, adding 
that the returners may even have 
to inhibit new roles.

For Barnes Arico, now is the 

time to make some important 
changes, the time to take her 
best returning players and 
evolve them into new type of 
players that they couldn’t have 
been last season, all while 
nurturing the development of 
key players like freshman center 
Hallie Thome.

It’s a unique time for the 

program, and Barnes Arico is the 
right person to be at the head of it 
— the program recently extended 
her contract through the 2020-21 
season.

This time around, the WNIT 

isn’t going to cut it. Only an 
appearance in the NCAA 
Tournament will, which is 
exactly what the team talked 
about during its fall break retreat.

“What rose up is, ‘Why not 

us, why not now?’ ” Ristovski 
said. “The possibility of a 
championship is in our grasp. 
It’s just what we do every day in 
practice that’s going to decipher 
whether we win or lose (crucial 
games).”

Why not now? Now is a better 

time than ever before. Michigan 
is well-equipped with a variety 
of talented returners, a nearly 
undefeated freshmen class and a 
veteran coaching staff.

The Wolverines are in the 

midst of a revival, one that could 
make their program feared by 
non-conference and conference 
opponents, alike. It may not 
happen this year, but it also 
might.

Though one thing is for 

certain: Michigan is going to try 
its best to take it all. Carpe omnia.

2015 PREVIEW
WOMEN’S
BASKETBALL

By BRANDON CARNEY

Daily Sports Writer

Kim Barnes Arico knows 

replacing the productive trio of 
Cyesha Goree, Shannon Smith 
and Nicole Elmblad will be one 
of the most difficult challenges 
she’s faced thus far in her coach-
ing career.

After graduating the three 

seniors 
who 
finished 
their 

senior years with a 20-15 record 
and a trip to the WNIT semifi-
nal, the Michigan women’s bas-
ketball coach retained a squad of 
just four scholarship juniors and 
seniors.

A group of five sophomores 

and four freshmen make up the 
core of the Wolverines’ 2015-16 
roster.

As in years past, the guard 

position is stacked and will give 
Barnes Arico plenty of options 
off the bench. Michigan will 
likely have to use its range of 
shooters to make up for its great-
est weakness — a lack of proven 
depth in the low post. The Daily 
breaks down the Wolverines’ 
2015-16 roster below:

Guards

The 
collection 
of 
guards 

Barnes Arico has assembled 
may be as deep and talented as 
any other unit she’s had in Ann 
Arbor.

The Wolverines return two 

starters at the position — juniors 
Siera 
Thompson 
and 
Dani-

elle Williams — while fresh-
men Lauren ‘Boogie’ Brozoski 
and Nicole Munger add to the 
already impressive group. As a 
result of the depth at the posi-
tion, Barnes Arico has decided 

she’ll be playing with three 
guards on the court in most situ-
ations.

Thompson is expected to be 

the leader at the point of Michi-
gan’s three-guard lineup. The 
junior is the Wolverines’ most 
experienced player at the ‘1,’ 
starting 65 of 69 games she has 
appeared in. Thompson has 
proven not only to be a shooter, 
scoring 12.1 points per game, 
but also a hard worker in other 
areas.

Despite her proven abilities, 

Thompson’s starting spot isn’t 
100-percent secure with Bro-
zoski pushing her from behind 
every day. With great hustle and 
quick hands, the freshman’s raw 
defensive skill has gotten the 
attention of Barnes Arico. In 
Sunday’s exhibition against Fer-
ris State, Brozoski entered the 
game at the head of Michigan’s 
press, and wreaked havoc for 
Bulldog ball handlers through-
out her first collegiate contest.

With no traditional small 

forward on the roster, the Wol-
verines plan on using two shoot-
ing guards to play on the wings. 
Michigan’s star scorer off the 
bench last season, sophomore 
Katelynn Flaherty, will occupy 
one of the starting wing posi-
tions. Flaherty is primed to have 
a breakout season, not only as a 
spot-up shooter who shot 42 per-
cent from the field last year, but 
also in other areas. The sopho-
more worked hard on her physi-
cality over the summer, and will 
look to drive to the basket and 
become more of an inside pres-
ence as the season rolls on.

Flaherty is expected to face 

tough defensive assignments 
in most games, and will need 

help from the Wolverines’ other 
shooters to overcome the chal-
lenge. Senior Madison Ristovs-
ki started alongside Flaherty 
against Ferris State, and will 
likely be opposite the sopho-
more a majority of the time. 
Ristovski has been a consistent 
scorer for Michigan through-
out her career, shooting 41 per-
cent overall and 39 percent from 
behind the arc.

Right behind Ristovski, Wil-

liams and Munger are fight-
ing to earn important roles in 
Barnes Arico’s lineup as well. 
Williams started 20 games last 
season, but wasn’t an offen-
sive threat, as she scored just 
35 points. The junior will most 
likely be a defensive specialist 
and will look to build upon the 11 
multi-steal games she recorded 
in 2014-15.

Munger will look to fill a 

role similar to Flaherty’s last 
year — Michigan’s lights-out 
shooter coming off the bench. 
Her defensive skills may not be 
at a point where Barnes Arico 
feels comfortable handing her 
a larger role, but Munger will 
be present in situations when 
the Wolverines need points in a 
hurry.

Forwards

The Wolverines graduated 

59 percent of their rebounding 
from last season, and figuring 
out how that number will be 
replaced has been one of Barnes 
Arico’s biggest challenges over 
the offseason. Sophomore Jil-
lian Dunston is the retuning 
forward who grabbed the most 
boards for Michigan in 2014-15, 
at 2.6 per game.

Dunston’s primary role, how-

ever, will be coming off the 
bench behind senior Kelsey 
Mitchell. After injuries have 
hampered a majority of her 
career, Mitchell was finally 
healthy this preseason, and has 
impressed Barnes Arico both on 
and off the court.

The forward position thins 

out after Mitchell and Dunston. 
Freshman Sam Trammel may 
see playing time if the others in 
front of her get into foul or inju-
ry trouble. Otherwise, Barnes 
Arico may have to turn to guard-
heavy lineups to make up for a 
lack of depth at the post.

Center

At 6-foot-5, freshman Hallie 

Thome was a giant recruit-
ing win for Barnes Arico. The 
Wolverines 
need 
a 
special 

frontcourt talent if they plan 
on contending in the Big Ten, 
and Thome has the potential to 
be just that. Thome scored 19.5 
points, grabbed 9.1 rebounds 
and blocked 4.6 shots per game 
in her senior high school season. 
The Gatorade State Player of the 
Year in Ohio brings the com-
bination of height and finesse 
the Wolverines have not seen in 
recent years.

Sophomore Terra Stapleton 

is the only other true center on 
the roster, and she logged just 33 
minutes in her freshman season. 
When Thome’s not on the court, 
the center position will most 
likely be occupied by Mitchell, 
but if the two get in foul trouble 
late in games, or are out due to 
injury, Michigan could be in real 
trouble if it needs experienced 
options to play at the post.
