A couple of observations. Other than Kennedy Martin this Penn State team is a bit of a mess. The whole is nowhere near as good as it should be based on the parts. I'm sure losing Izzy Stark early was a huge blow but they still should be better.

Not sure if anybody noticed it but Katie Schumacher-Cawley lost her shit when that out call was reversed for the final point of the second set. She went after the official and was still barking at her as she was leaving the court for the break. When she came out after the break she barked at her again and slammed her notebook down on her chair. I've always regarded her as a class act. That was not classy.

I think they have become very predictable depending on Kennedy. The absence of Caroline J. shows with the lack of other options.
A good win for the gophers to keep that top 16 seed.
 

This team has improved quite a bit. While the injuries have lowered the ceiling of success this season, they have accelerated the growth of the young players.

Next year's team could be very strong and capable of making the Elite Eight or even Final Four if they can get 1 impactful transfer along with the returning injured players.

Not going to happen. Sorry. Not the final 4 anyhow. They would have to go all-in on the Penn State/Kentucky/Wisconsin/Pitt, etc. model and they will not (and good for them!). Plus they have to compete against the teams with even better recruits, like Nebraska, Stanford and Texas.

Seriously, making it past the 2nd round is probably the best we can hope for.
 

What we REALLY have to hope is that other programs don't end up stealing the players the U develops. Like Barnes and Booth.
