Created by Sportzeditz (talk). Self-nominated at 22:55, 5 May 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/The Freshies (basketball); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

Nice work. Article is brand-new (submitted on day of creation), more than long enough (5233 characters), well sourced with inline citations, no copyvio (less than 7.4% similarity per Earwig), balanced in tone. The picture accompanying the hook is eye-catching and has an appropriate license (CC BY 2.0), as do the other images appearing in the article (all originating from Gamecock Central on Flickr). QPQ is done. Both hooks check out per the sources and the facts are stated (and cited) in the article as well. Only comment is that ALT0 has a lot of blue links – I imagine one of the proofers or admins down the line will pare down the number of wikilinks – but when you look at each term in the hook individually, you can see that many are helpful for readers who may not be familiar with women's college basketball in the United States.
