And, if you look at today's (Monday) print edition....you'd never even know either Gopher basketball team played on Sunday. About 2 inches of coverage max in the "Briefly" area on page 3. Notes the women's game and the men's St Thomas game. Nothing on the Gopher men........Yes, more stories...

And, remember, it is now called the Minnesota Star Tribune. My prediction is print version will be dead by summer time with the printing done in Des Moines. Most Gopher basketball games get a Joel Rippel "story", but it is buried when it is there. And, on line, you can't tell from the...

It is a consequence of unfilled positions at the paper.....as well as they don't "care". Send complaints/concerns to Kathleen Hennessey, editor and senior VP at the Strib to [email protected]. It would take some one at the Strib a few minutes to at least set them up as separate stories...

With her last basket, a three pointer, Grace Grocholski now has 1,001 points in her Gopher career!

A reminder that the Sunday game is a 5 PM start. Men play at noon on Sunday before us. Hopefully, they do a little clean up of the arena before our game.

Minnesotans get home from work and don't want to go back out in the cold. Those of us there had a good time! And with -20 wind chills likely on Sunday, the weather and the 5 PM start will keep folks away too.

As for all the talk about Mack.....perhaps she was offered and perhaps she wasn't. At the end of the day, it didn't appear she wanted to stay home. We know that some players want to move elsewhere after high school and you can't do anything about that. And, we gave this game away. Just...

For whatever reason, game doesn't appear to be on iHeart app. Go to gophersports.com story on today's game and click on the listen link to get to our broadcast.

The FloCollege website, where the game will be broadcast, also shows 3 PM Central time. So, championship game goes first!

It is Lynnette Sjoquist and Gaard...not Lea B. And, if this visit to the Bahamas is as expensive as the one was in 2021, there won't be a lot of fans. There were maybe 25-30 Gopher fans total at the one, counting family members and fans.

Tracey still on crutches as of last night. Zoe is close to being ready to play per Coach D. We'll see - she was in warm up clothing last night but wasn't yet dressed.

And, NJIT beat the St Thomas women by five today. So, they go 1-1 on their midwest trip. That probably makes for a nicer trip home tonight.

Tucked away in the men's hockey story....which also has volleyball write up. I for one am not at all happy with the Strib's sports coverage!

There won't be much newspaper coverage from the Star Tribune. Their 4 page daily sports section has moved on from lots of game coverage. Very unlikely they will put a beat writer on the Gopher women. Ch 9 does more Gopher news due to the coach's show. Ch 4 with Mike Max is useless. Ch 5...

And in job postings the Strib had.....they specifically noted the sports focus was going to go away from game coverage. Also, with the "early" deadlines that will only get worse in the new year when the paper is published in Iowa.....there will be no game coverage in print editions. Print...
