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...

It was officially announced this AM that Taylor Woodson is out for the season following her injury in the Manhattan game. Thoughts and prayers to Taylor!

At the game ..it was her other leg ...not one with brace on it from what I could see.

On the radio interview with Coach P post game......she said Braun was cramping up...and should be good to go. We all held our breath when we saw her limping off.

And, that whole broadcast schedule is in a separate thread so it doesn't get lost here.

Announced today....still a couple of TBA tip times on road games. 2025-26 Women's Basketball Tip Times (all times in CT) Nov. 4 vs. North Dakota - 7 p.m. on B1G+ Nov. 7 vs. Manhattan - 7 p.m. on B1G+ Nov. 11 vs. Marquette - 7 p.m. on B1G+ Nov. 14 vs. NJIT - 5 p.m. on B1G+ Nov. 19 at Kansas -...

Just remember - just as the Gophers are NOT called the Lady Gophers...it is REEVE not REEVES.

And, Coach P has done a group like this at all of her prior coaching stops. Last season, I believe that they had at least 200 members.

And, with today's announcement by the now Iowa Star Tribune...moving printing to Des Moines, there will be no current news in print editions. Deadlines will be late afternoon after that change.

And the often four page sports section in the print edition of the Minnesota Star Tribune (with one page sometimes legal notices) doesn't leave room for a lot of sports news of any kind. At the moment, they have no one reporter covering the Lynx, for example. Three columnists have done game...

The recent four page print edition sports sections make we wonder if the paper even wants to cover the full sporting scene any longer.

Corey Green has joined the program as the new Director of Basketball Operations (DOBO). Here's a link to a story with all the details. This role was previously filled by Adam Marso. Welcome aboard, Corey...

The Athletic has the Gopher women ranked #17 for the upcoming season in what they note is a "way too early look at the 2025 season. Story is behind a paywall, however. Story also ranks UCLA #4, Michigan #11, Washington #12, Maryland #13, Michigan State #14 and Iowa #16. Going to be one heck...

Q&A with Mara Braun in today's St Paul paper. Might be behind at paywall. Here's the link: https://www.twincities.com/2025/05/02/gophers-mara-braun-i-really-want-to-make-some-noise/
