Some people think playing defense at the major college level is simply a matter of working hard and staying in front of your assignment. Probably one of the major factors in earning important minutes is whether you are instinctively executing all the team concepts (offense or defense) all week...

As I watched it in real time and the replay, my thought was; "Probably not a double dribble, but very possibly a palm of the ball". Of course, players do that all the time and maybe one player gets called for it every 3-4 games.

This is why I can't understand why people get so worked up about the snap shot of a season (one way or the other). It's like watching a :60 movie trailer and trying to convince me that you know the entire plot, subplot, all the character personalities and the ending based on that. Seems to me...

I have a friend who coaches a D-2 womens team. His philosophy almost every year from Nov. through about the final 2 weeks of the season is "We are a work in progress!". We probably won't be the same team in Jan, that we are in Dec. Won't be the same team in Feb. that we are in Jan. He...

We handle the #10 in the country and that's the big question? Tonga barely played either. Coach went with her best line-up, the hot hands and the players she trusts the most. It's as simple as that.

I think we saw the potential of this team in the 2nd half. Good defensive effort, forcing their best scorer into an inefficient night and pretty much shutting off everybody else. Took care of the ball, great rebounding and a big night from 3-point line. Pretty cool to get a big win over a...

Battle just did a great job of staying out of that double-team near the time line off the hedge by the Ohio State big. Then finding Braun, who makes a very big 3.

5-7 from 3 in the 2nd half certainly helps. It's also starting to look more and more like a 1-man show for Ohio State's offense and we're playing pretty solid D and forcing some challenged shots.

On the official Ohio State team page, each of their Bio's mention their siblings. All different siblings and no mention that they are related or sisters. Please pass along the link that you are seeing that indicates that they are sisters. Thanks. BTW, this reply is directed at the person...

Looking at the Points off Turnovers during this time-out. It's 16-3 Gophers. I think a lot of us were concerned it might be reversed.

Buckeyes go to zone, GG gets 2 wide open 3's.

First 3+ minutes in the 2nd half, Gophers have held Buckeyes to just 2 shots. Braun with great defensive box out, then a tough rebound and a nice 3. Hart teaming up with Tori for a great double-team on the sideline that results in a turnover and that GG pass inside to Tori for the lay-up was a...

So what adjustments do you think Ohio State makes to increase the pace of the game? I like where Minnesota is right now, considering all the missed easy shots. Be interesting to see if the Gophers can keep the pace of the game where it is, but start making those bunnies. Ohio State's height...

Neither of their official team Bio's mentions the other as a sibling, but does mention that Kennedy has a sister playing for Vanderbilt and two brothers playing at ASU. Jaloni's Bio mentions 2 older brothers playing hoops, but no mention of Kennedy. Possibly related but not sisters? Maybe...

"They're not winning this. Oregon adjusted. We didn't. Worst loss of the season." This definitive prediction came with 13:09 left to play in the game. Obviously not enough time for a team to make any adjustments that could change the direction of the game. Thank God Niko didn't just pull his...
