    STrib: Gophers coach P.J. Fleck's in-game coaching strategy has riled fans this season

    Coach Fleck does not play yo win. He plays “Not to lose”. What a coach is saying to his team— when you play this conservatively— is “I don’t trust you to make the plays”. Fleck has shown a clear inability to trust his players. Even to make a first down on 3rd and 6, preferring to run. Not...

    I was looking forward to that. Piper was guilty of over coaching by bringing in Fiser to “start” the 7th. Better to leave Pease in who was crusing and then bring in Fiser if Pease gives up a couple hits. Fresno hits speed better and just came off a 3-run rally off Garcia. It turned out ok...

    So much Gopher negativity on these posts. Many of these same players were part of the WCWS team in 2019. And many have made monumental accomplishments in their careers. Win, lose or draw today or tomorrow, join me in acknowledging their achievements which will be historic for the program...

    Don’t count these Gophers out yet! The Super Seniors and skilled players should rise to the occasion today, and have a good chance of getting to Sunday. Most NCAA coaches will tell you day 1 of the tourney can be difficult. Look for a more desperate, emotional and different mindset day 2.

    Watching NW (Big 10 3rd seed) play host team Kentucky today, it was obvious to me Kentucky is not in the same class as Michigan. No way should they be hosting. NW should have won the game or at least taken the game to extra innings. Home plate umpire GAVE Kentucky a free run when he called...

    Agree with you. And remember, Women’s softball should not be doing anything different from other NCAA sports, men or women. I disagree with the poster about seeding to “entertainment” vs what has been earned. If all things are equal, ok fine. But far too many strange and off seedlings that...

    Thank you for posting this! Patty Gasso is a class act. As the #1 overall seed to be saying this proves the ridiculousness of it all, and the SEC Bias of the committee. Kudos to her for standing up for what is right and wrong with the entire process.

    COVID did NOT create the committee’s unacceptable SEC Bias. It was birthed in 2017 when the Gophers were ranked #1 in the nation (54-3) and didn’t get seeded top 16 to host a regional. This years most obvious snubs are Michigan and Washington (PAC 12). And those 2 schools in less favor...

    It’s not the “S-Curve”, it’s the “SEC Bias” curve. Having a higher ranking should have meant hosting for Michigan, not a team like Georgia for God’s sake with well over 20 losses. Missouri or Duke aren’t far from Michigan if you want to use geography for some sort of rationale. Sending...

    Yes, and ironically… LSU who Minny beat in their home regional bid in 2019…!!!

    So, the NCAA Seeding committee did another snub job on the Big Ten. Arguably, Northwestern (Big #3). has the easiest Regional. At Kentucky. Michigan with just 6 losses is not a top 16 host? Washington hosts them ranked #5? Gophers 54-3 and ranked #1 in 2017 were also not awarded a...
