Early this year, ESPN.com sports columnist Graham Hays made the trip to see just what is so special about Green Bay women’s basketball. What followed was a piece worthy of reading, even a few weeks later. For quips such as, “The guards at Buckingham Palace change with less precision than the Phoenix switch assignments,” click here to read the full story.

And if you haven’t already, check out this inspirational piece on senior guard Celeste Hoewisch also written by Hays, click here.

It’s great reading, and written with an accuracy and thoroughness that one might not expect from a national beat writer.

In a pre-season poll of coaches, sports information directors and coaches, the Phoenix was predicted to win its 13th consecutive regular season Horizon League title.
