Women's college basketball has typically kept players around compared to the frequent early exits to the professional ranks that are so common on the men's side. But the women's game has gotten even older with players having extra eligibility from the COVID-19 pandemic. That has first-year players facing more fifth- and sixth-year players, creating a bigger gap to overcome in experience and strength than before. (AP Photo/Darron Cummings, File)
