As part of 2022 Basketball Media Days for the Big Ten, Kim Barnes Arico spoke to the media for roughly 10 minutes on Wednesday morning.
With a program-leading 218 wins, Kim Barnes Arico is the most successful basketball coach in Michigan women’s basketball history. The team is coming off their most successful season in program history, securing their first Elite Eight appearance thanks to the elite play of Naz Hilmon and a deep group of seniors that helped contribute.
While Hilmon is now in the WNBA and working for the Big Ten Network, there’s still a lot of talent on the team from last season, as they bring back key contributors in point guard Laila Phelia, forward Emily Kiser and preseason All-Big Ten guard Leigha Brown.
