MORROW, Ga. – The Tuskegee women's basketball program was well represented at the 2025 SIAC Basketball Media Day on Wednesday at the Morrow Event Center, where the Golden Tigers were selected second in the West Division in the league's 2025-26 Preseason Predicted Order of Finish.

Head Coach Chiante Wester was joined by transfer guards Brooklyn McKinley and Arianna Durrell, who were spotlighted as part of the day's media sessions.

In addition to being picked second in the West Division, Tuskegee enters the 2025–26 season with a significantly different roster. Head Coach Chiante Wester recently revealed a 10-player transfer class to bolster depth and experience brought in add immediate impact across multiple positions. Many of these transfers have collegiate experience, making this signing class one of the most diverse and battle-tested groups in recent program history.

The SIAC unveiled its predicted order of finish, with Clark Atlanta chosen as the preseason favorite in the East Division and Miles selected to top the West.

Tuskegee's second-place pick underscores the program's respect among league coaches and SIDs following a strong 2024–25 showing, reaching the SIAC Championship game last season in Atlanta.
