True shooting percentage isn't a very meaningful measure of best shooters. For one thing, the 3 point line wasn't added until 1986-7. Also, I don't think even Jim Peterson or Randy Breuer would think they should be included in a discussion of top 10 shooters, as they took few shots outside the...

Probably Trent Tucker is the best pure shooter, but Lou Hudson a close second. I only saw one or two of Lou's college games, but listened to many games on WCCO, and watched him as a pro whenever his teams were televised. He shot 47% as a guard in his 3 years in college, mostly from long range...

I really enjoy the nonconference games against weak teams, as it gives true fans an opportunity to preview new and bench players to see what they might bring to the team this year. But I agree that the Strib's coverage is awful. Why subscribe if you cant get box scores! I don't even see the box...

What is NT? I don't see anyone with those initials.

I'm just happy that we are adding quickness, both defensively and to push the ball up the court. Something we have often been missing recently.

Isn't UCLA 10-6 in conference, and 19-8 overall? It's ok to be a jerk on this board (in fact, I think it's required), but let's try to be somewhat accurate.

Thanks for the data, but I don't think Hawkins is the right comparable. Rigby will probably be filling the roles played by Mitchell last year, who will probably see more time at the point, Carrington, or Christie, if he doesn't return. To replace Hawkins, hopefully we can get someone who will...

Offense was hard to watch without Braun. Absolutely no ball movement. Dribble until you were stopped, tied up, or turned the ball over. And even if there was a big drop off to the 8, 9, and 10 players, the player rotation could have been better--Grace struggled with her shot at the end of the...

Part of the lack of paint touches was that Payne had one of his worst games of the year, 2 for 7, four turnovers, and a number of passes and rebounds that he wasn't able to handle. Maybe it was just MSU's tough inside defense, but he seemed to be rushing, and with some crazy spin moves. Once he...

Either that or he is Heyer's dad.

I suspected that Bfan became SHGopher--very similar styles, a lot of linked or copied articles. SH is still very active on the women site.

Watching some videos, looks like she would bring some much-needed quickness to the Gophers, and ability to get to the hoop. At 5-7 and with her apparent ball-handling ability and quickness, would guess that she would play point at the next level.

FYI, the Paige interview was taped before the start of last season, so when she says she is not playing "this year," she means in 2022-23. I was thinking she might have suffered another injury I hadn't heard about.

Did we miss on someone today, or just the usual negativism here? I can't see anything definite.

Coach P said there was one 2023 commit she hadn't talked to yet, but she planned to talk to her this afternoon. Darn, though, Paurova was one I wanted to keep. Was thinking CP might have said Dylan, who was from Washington and who was connected to MN through Shimmy Gray-Miller.
