Arizona State women’s basketball is preparing for its first NCAA Tournament game since 2019, but head coach Molly Miller is not yet with the team ahead of its First Four game.
According to Sun Devil athletics, Miller “didn’t travel with the team due to illness, but we are hopeful she will be in Iowa soon.”
ASU went 24-10 in its first season under Miller, taking one of the last remaining at-large spots for the tournament. The Sun Devils need to beat Virginia on Thursday at 6 p.m. on ESPN2 to reach the First Round.
Associate head coach Stephanie Norman, filling in for Miller, called it a “precarious situation.”

“Obviously, our leader is not here. And we’re hoping for the best, so she can recover and be with our team,” Norman told reporters Wednesday. “That’s kind of the status, it’s hour to hour. I’m hoping she’s taking care of all of the things that she can in her power.
“We miss her dearly, but at the same time we have a job to do, so we’re focused on that.”
Norman, who played at ASU (1984-88), spent the previous 18 seasons on the Louisville staff, reaching the Sweet 16 or better 12 times.
