The Connecticut Sun players remain busy during their offseason, but particularly the trio of stars playing overseas right now. This includes Leïla Lacan, Migna Touré and Haley Peters. The three are continuing to put in the hours to improve and fuel their passion for basketball, but 21-year-old Leïla Lacan has been exceptionally impressive to watch with Basket Landes.

It’s a new month, and Lacan still has several games to go, but let’s take a look at three key takeaways from her performance with Basket Landes in November.

It was never a question of whether or not Lacan would be able to produce jaw-dropping numbers on the court. If anything, this was a given right off the bat. However, there were questions revolving around her ability to keep the momentum high. Her work overseas, particularly this past month, should ease any uncertainty.

Her most productive night came on Nov. 7 when she faced the Chartres. By the end of the night, she had posted 17 points, the team-high, with four rebounds, three assists and three steals. Lacan has not shown signs of regressing after her remarkable rookie season — great news for the Sun as they approach their 2026 campaign.

The Connecticut Sun went into somewhat of a rebuild phase throughout the 2025 season, with much of their roster being tailored towards younger players and ensuring they had the opportunity to develop and get accustomed to the WNBA level. With that said, the record they put out is certainly something they will be looking to improve upon in 2026.

With two first-round picks, they are able to make some more additions to the roster that should help out with the depth of the squad. To do so, they will need to analyze what the team needs, and in 2025, it became abundantly clear what the franchise needed heading into their next campaign.

On the bright side, they were one of the better defensive teams in the league throughout the year, which is enormously impressive from a roster that mostly consists of younger talent. Showing that level of tenacity early in their careers will be crucial down the road to building success and competing with some of the best rosters in the league. There is still a long road to get there, though, and one of the key issues was one of the most obvious.

The biggest struggle for the Sun compared to the other teams in the WNBA was their 3-point shooting, as in the year they ended up with only a 30.2% rate on 3-point shots. The only other team within a similar range was the Dallas Wings, who hit…

When the University of Michigan women’s basketball team looks for a spark off the bench it calls on Te’Yala Delfosse.

The former Ewing High star is having a breakout sophomore season for the nation’s No. 6-ranked team.

Delfosse registered her first career double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds in a win over Detroit Mercy in the Wolverines’ most recent game against Detroit Mercy on Nov. 26.

She had a career high 21 points in 20 minutes in the Wolverines, 81-55, win over Syracuse on Nov. 23.  In the Wolverines’ lone loss, a 72-69 setback against No. 1 UConn, Delfosse had seven points and nine rebounds.

Delfosse is averaging 11.9 points, a team high 6.1 rebounds and has five blocks.

Michigan is next in action on Dec. 3 against Central Michigan.

Aaron Rios (Steinert) was named to the All-Centennial Conference first team from Ursinus as a defensive lineman.

Rios, a senior, repeated his All-Centennial selection from a year ago and was named to the first team for the first time in his career.

The line also allowed zero or one sack in six games this season and three or fewer in all 10 games. The 12 total sacks allowed this…
