We need talented depth, not just serviceable depth. Requiring most of our starters this year to play nearly whole games too often hurt us at the end of some key games and could result in a weary and banged up squad come tournament time (didn't hurt us for the WBIT - but we probably would have...

This seems like... 29% of all male players? Roughly 400 teams at 15 per team. 1729/6000. Is this accurate? And incoming freshman wouldn't enter the portal before their arrival so they don't factor into the 15 on the roster. That percentage goes even higher. What a mess.

Joint rights between Williams Sonoma and Pottery Barn?

Not directly related to this game: But how many of our four WBIT tournament victories would have Quad 1 and Quad 2?

SDSU is a Final Four contender???

An interesting article that builds pride as consolation prize. But it is a fools exercise. Minnesota is not a destination school. Programs with histories of deep NCAA runs and more enjoyable geography/climate will always pull from us. It is just the way it is unless we make multiple trips to...

The NCAA might have better optics for a program from a distance. Maybe for recruiting. But would the WBIT be better for the team's future? Maybe play 4 WBIT games rather than a one-and-done blowout in the NCAA. Maybe allows for Klick, Johnson and Holloway to get more minutes in a competitive...

We're not going to outscore WA by 14 in the last 3 minutes. Get the subs in for some minutes.

Terrible 3rd quarter so far outscored 20-8.

Only 5 total fouls. Should give us latitude to start out aggressive on defense in the 2nd half. With the exception of Battle, who will need to avoid early fouls.

Need better shooting than 29%.

Given how well she's played as a freshman this year, it won't take much more development until McKinney is a star. Tough to see her coming off the bench next year. Regardless it is a good problem to have. Teams that win those close, hard fought games have players who come off the bench and...

I would bet a lot money that this was the case. Subbed based on positional needs.

It seems like female athletes tend to recover slower from major surgeries like an ACL tear. It looked like Holloway got her athleticism back this season after a cautious one last year (first year after surgery). Woodson will probably show similar rust and caution next season.

Does she play on an AAU team?
