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?

Sophie has basically one shot. A center pivot (rotating to her left) baby hook. She has nice footwork on that shot and executes it well... if she's 4' from the rim or closer. Opposing bigs that force her even a foot or two farther out and those shots have literally been airballs. To be truly...

Hart please stop the airballs from 3ft away.

Only down by 6 going into the 4th. Nice open door for us. Just keep that defense up and make those shots at the rim and we can do this. No airballs in the 4th!!

We are a true Jekyll and Hyde team. We have so much energy, heart and focus on defense. But our offense flat out sucks. No other way to put it. We'll have 4 stops in a row... and then get 0 ourselves over that stretch and on Iowa's next possesion will hit a 3 and we've fallen farther behind...

This is much more likely (which is good for our Gophs). As long as you hydrate and get 5-6 hours of sleep it should only take 1 day per hour of time difference to adjust to a new time zone. So we shouldn't be jet lagged at all by Thursday. And it's only a trap if Iowa believes they're the...

Great defensive game plan by Coach P. Taking Betts out of the game so far. We just really need shooters (mid-range and 3 pt) as UCLA is very tough defensively in the paint. Sophie is going to have a tough day.
