Questions for 2003-04
1. Who will replace the All-MIAA Frontcourt? Last Year this team was anchored by two of the best in the conference.  Nichole Lindsey & Steph Jones; They combined to average 32.4 points, 15.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.5 blocks, and 2.5 steals.

2. Can former JUCO All-American and High School All-State Danielle McKinley & Nichole Gardner  Freshman play up to potential? If they can play up to the level that garnered them those honors it will make Missouri Western a title contender again.

3. Can Carly Lee take her game to another level? One of last years biggest surprises, Lee took over at the point guard spot after losing All-MIAA point guard Carliss Holland. She will possibly be asked to move over to the 2 with the signing of two other point guards. Her transition to that change is a huge factor for this team.
