FINALLY GOT THAT RANKED WIN! No matter how it may have looked, they got it done, and that’s the important thing. I thought it was one of Sophie’s best games of her Gopher Career and for sure her best this season. She knew she had the mismatch and often looked to take advantage of it. She also...

It was a strong showing against a team that they should have had a strong showing against. However, I feel there are a few little things to highlight. I will admit, yes, it's one game, and she is inconsistent; however, Amaya gets A LOT of hate/critique on here. While it was only 3 shots, she...

Things to watch in this game in terms of milestones. -Mara is 6 points from 1,000 -Grace is 19 points from 1,000

I figured this would be a fun board to read through after that game. (says sarcastically) This might be long… Look, there is not a lot to be said about it. That was a gut punch like no other. Multiple times, they had the game wrapped up…only to lose it. There was A LOT of good in this game...

They did not offer her a lot of the issues with her were her height and physicality. She didn't respond well to it in high school. She was always a notable scorer, but she rarely was going to give effort on the other side of the ball. Also notably relied on getting 10+ free throws in games with...

Ok so to address this with both of you and everyone else on the board. The issues with this team are not new. They are frustrating, yes but not new. We look slow, we don't have a great offense, and Amaya and Mara are ice cold shooting. All accurate. But not new. So the annoyance comes from the...

McKinney is experiencing concussion protocol/concussion-like symptoms. they started the next day after the Kansas game, but not are not severe. I would say less than 30% chance of playing tomorrow, but likely back Monday vs. Samford.

I try not to overreact at the first loss. I'm thinking that this loss in terms of the tournament resume will not be a killer, but that will be seen throughout the year. The issues, however, are glaring. -This, without a doubt, is where the planned small-ball of Woodson at the 5 would of been...

No official word. However, Expectation is moving forward without her the rest of the season.

Woodson has been a full go in practice and is good to go for the game. Likely a possible minutes restriction just for the first few weeks to make sure they don't overdo it right out of the gate. Only notable injury and possible out for tonight would be the freshman Zoey Bershers who has been...

They are playing a real non-conference this season. Kansas, USF, Possibly Alabama, Marquette, all valuable non-con opponents. Also there is no value for Gophers to play St.Thomas in WBB. it simply is a lose-lose. If they win, it would never be by enough or good enough since they are expected...

Last season they 8-10 with Mara playing zero Big Ten games. They lost 5 of those 10 by 8 points or less. You really wanna say Mara playing doesn't change 1 or 2 at least of those games? And then likely push them in the NCAA? And yes I know the players/families of players on the team. I know...

Okay, let's dispel some of the rumors. While the story is not mine to tell, I can confirm some aspects. -This is not something that has been festering or anything like that. Mallory has no ill will towards any of the players on the team and is still close to them. This was a decision that was...

Interview with Amaya Battle. (yes this was recorded before yesterday's announcement)

This is the secret scrimmage like last year when K-State came to Minnesota. This year was at Kansas State. they don't allow any box scores or stats to be relased so we will only know the score.
