Was just gonna say the same Cheriehoop. This is HUGE for the women's team. Super surprised as I had heard she was moving on.

Really glad her college career will not end on that last game, which was not her best effort.

Syracuse should definitely be a top 20 team next year now. Maybe top 10.

Surprised this thread didn't get more responses and surprised Tiana is coming back. Didn't she go through Senior Day. Maybe something happened but good for her and good for Syracuse.

Returning 8 of 9 top players next year losing only Miranda Drummond next year. Hoping Engstler works hard and can make a consistent impact and Finklea-Guilty, Djaldi-Tadbi and Sissoko improve offensively and defensively to improve our inside game next year.

Coach Q’s best recruiting job - getting Tiana to return for her senior year.

Great news, if Emily can come around I think this team will be the best in a long time. The three French women are going to get better and better as well. Best news for SU in a while.

Tiana Mangakahia ‘at peace’ with decision to return to Syracuse women’s basketball

Good news for Syracuse women’s hoops fans— would love to see another year of Mangakahia tearing up the court. Not sure why she made this decision, probably hadn’t heard from any WNBA teams that wanted her or shown any interest so she decided to give it one last run. Also, she is dating Tristan Jackson on the football team so I believe that played a big factor in her staying another year as well.

According to this Jackson wanted to walk into the basketball team. Bet they have some great one on one pickup games.

That moment at the game made my heart hurt for her, she was so good all year. That last game was a disappointment all around. She is so much fun to watch, I'm really looking forward to what they put together on the court next season

heard on sports radio that there were a lot of guards in the draft this year, she may have thought it was a better option to add to her stats one more year in college.

Exactly— I think she made the right decision. It’s better to stay and get more stats than to possibly get picked 3rd round. After next year she should get picked late 1st/early 2nd IMo.
