Previous season

edit

The Sun Devils finished the season 20–11, 10–8 in Pac-12 play to finish in sixth place. They advanced to the first round of the Pac-12 women's tournament where they lost to California. The NCAA tournament and WNIT were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]

Offseason

edit

Departures

edit

Due to COVID-19 disruptions throughout NCAA sports in 2020–21, the NCAA announced that the 2020–21 season would not count against the athletic eligibility of any individual involved in an NCAA winter sport, including women's basketball. This meant that all seniors in 2020–21 had the option to return for 2021–22.
