I think it’s a great move for her. It comes with a 200% salary increase, a bigger conference, and other perks. A nice move up the ladder. I have heard from several people that she’s a wonderful coach to play for, respected by her players.

No, not SDSU 😱 - she took USD to the Sweet 16 in 2022. We also had a team in 2020 that was ranked #17 in the AP poll, and #12 in the Coaches poll. Who knows what we could have done if the tournament hadn’t been canceled. And all of this was done with players that were not recruited by power...

I posted this on another thread as well. There is a lot of talk currently on social media about collectives, which can go after players during the season and not have to let the player’s current coach know they are talking to them. This talk is used in reference to Iriafen at Stanford, but also...

A lot of the so-called experts have Minnesota taking Puoch, from Australia, if Edwards is not available. She is 6’2” and can handle the ball and herself pretty well. I like her a lot more than anybody else available, and I definitely do not want Reese! We don’t need her attitude problems.

That was definitely a foul on Edwards. She lifted her elbow up into the oncoming defender. They missed a few falls on UConn in the first half, where Iowa should have been shooting free throws. In the second half it was more evenly called, with a few misses on each team. But the shove on the Iowa...

Coach P always tells the girls that “every game is important, and no game is special”. That means you prepare for every game the same, expecting to have to play hard to win. You don’t look past any opponent. Yes, this game is special because it is the last one of the season, but they will...

Elle Evans, the really good player from NDSU, has entered the portal. Listed as 6’3” on their roster. I suppose with Heaven Hamling graduating, there’s not going to be much left on that team.

That was an enjoyable game to watch, and a nice win. While the Gophers did miss shots that they maybe should have made, that was also a very good Troy defense. We did well to hold them more than 10 points below their season average. And to come out of that game with a win on a over a defense...

Coach P won this award 2 years ago.

Part of the problem from Monday night is that the Wyoming Arena is at one of the highest elevations for any sports venue in our nation. I’m sure Coach P had to take this into consideration. Given that our roster was a little bit shorter than normal, the girls were probably winded, while the...

My daughter played for North Tartan as well, and at that time there were players driving 10 hours each direction from the far parts of North Dakota, Rapid City South Dakota, and Milwaukee. Both NT and AIA are Nike EYBL teams, and generally play in the same tournaments. It comes down to who they...

I’m interested in your tickets I am a season-ticket holder, but did not get tickets for tomorrow.

Perhaps she will follow her big sister Hannah’s path, to Iowa? Although her stats and presence were not on par with Hannah’s…..
