This would be a real-life lesson for the NIL recipients, wouldn't it? But if a highly compensated athlete would not perform for GENO I"m sure another programs would take a chance that she would in their program. What disappoints me the most about the entire NCAA athletics situation is the have...

I appreciate the question and answer about Woodson. Got me wondering, maybe I missed this, but is it official that the freshman Zoey Bershers will not play this season?

C You only beat the teams you should beat, lose two to teams you should have beaten, and get blown out by the ranked teams you play, the grade can't be above a C. C IS a passing grade.

Just curious if others are wondering why Battle is not handling the ball more to initiate the offense. Seems like during the run to the WBIT championship at the end of last season, she had the ball in her hands much more, probing the defense and hitting the mid-range jump shot regularly--opening...

Go Gophers! I enjoy the insight you share about each opponent. I hope the PA announcer reads this post and institutes a "7th Inning Stretch" during the game on Friday. I suggest during the media timeout of the fourth quarter. Happy to see you are continuing your creative intro for each...

Could you just give one link to the entire post game comments?

Wondering if anyone has had a similar thought: This might not be a "starting five" situation. If the announcement came after the two closed scrimmages, this might be a "playing time" situation not a "starting" situation. Frequently, the "starters" aren't the crunch time players due to a...

I will call the season a success if both the team and several players clearly IMPROVE throughout the year. This has been the frustrating part for me throughout the Johnson and some of the Pitino years.

Keep the Summit League and St. Thomas stuff on another place. This is "Gopher Hole." Any coverage of women's basketball is great, but the focus of this message board is the Gopher women.

I would like to read about how a competent coaching staff functions: who does what? how? when? What does a day, week, road trip during the season look like for a student athlete?

Wow! Wondering why someone would make a comment like this on this forum. Are you seriously looking for an answer? Or looking for an outlet to reveal your prejudicial attitude?

Regular season: C Post season: A C for the regular season because of the lack of wins vs teams in the top half of the conference and the inability to win a game at the end of the season when one or two more wins (against middle of the Big Ten teams) would have put us in the NCAA Tournament...

Next year's freshmen: Makena Christian | Guard | Lomira, Wisconsin | Hartford Union High School Ranked as one of the top guards from the state of Wisconsin, Christian brings an edge to the Gophers' squad as the No. 52 ranked recruit in the latest 2024 ESPN/Hoopgurlz top 100 rankings. In her...

I was convinced they wouldn't win any Big Ten games until they did. (Then just when a spark of hope emerged, they couldn't win a Big Ten game.)

"Peaking at the right time of the year." That is Washington. I doubt if anyone in the Big Ten wants to play them right now. On the other hand, the opposite is true for the Gophers unfortunately. Hard to watch this team the past several weeks. They do not seem to be getting better. They do...
