Sorry to disagree....no she's not and she's staying here.

What do we expect from a four page sports section? They have made it very clear they are moving another direction in their sports coverage.

Will we ever really know why Mallory left? And, Dawn is a very good coach - best we've had since Brenda. Yes, we need some big bucks donor on NIL....but that's not likely based on what we've seen here since NIL started. I don't put that on Coyle - it is just a fact of life in the Twin...

We actually played Washington twice last season. Lost 72-62 at the Barn on February 26 and then lost in first round Big Ten tourney action 79-65 on March 5 in Indy. A quick way to learn more is to go the opponent's school web site and look at game notes. For the Gophers, you can go to the...

And, pre-game, the Gophers did a nice recognition of Northwestern coach Joe McKeown who is retiring at the end of the season after 18 years with the Wildcats. He's been at the coaching game since 1979. During his tenure at George Washington, Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve was one of his...

And, that fourth quarter saw lots of our reserves playing. Good for the playing time, but it's going to be ugly at times.

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!
