Watched MSU hand Illinois their first conference loss. Both squads are very talented. Still don't understand how MSU lost to Wisconsin, although Badgers much improved over recent years. MSU's Van Slooten is a really good player and the Illini's Wallace isn't far behind. Both teams well-coached...

I've watched quite a few of the conference games so far and it's looking like it's going to be UCLA against the field. And the rest of the conference looks like it's going to be a cluster. Michigan, Maryland, OSU are all beatable. I don't expect PSU, Wisconsin, Rutgers, Purdue Northwestern or...

Battle was terrific. She's become an elite rebounding guard. It may show up later in conference play, but it doesn't seem we've missed Mal's rebounding much...yet.

Tonga has great footwork around the basket.

I really like that they're having different players handle the ball out front (instead of just Amaya). It's positionless basketball plus Sofie (or Tonga). Love the depth, even without Heyer and Woodson.

Newcomers Christian, Glenn and Tonga all productive off the bench. Irks me that the BTN broadcast team totally missed Braun limping off the court and never noticed her being treated on the sideline. They need to do better.

Signed up on Saturday so I could watch the men's game last night. Like you, I was a returning customer who subscribes mostly just to watch the women's games. Was able to ignore the coupon code tab and subscribe successfully (at the regular price). I used my previous password and username...

JD, at some point in time you're going to have to let the Whalen thing go. You've already beaten it into ground. She's no longer the Gophers' coach.

We're one of the few teams in the country that has retained almost all of its players (except one) and someone is now complaining because the coach hasn't signed anyone from the portal yet? USC, UCLA, OSU, Notre Dame, South Carolina have all lost key players to the portal. Coach hasn't suffered...

Based on the out/in transfer portal chart it's looking like Penn State's Kieger is really on the hot seat. 9 players in the portal with a returning coach?

A couple of good gets for Washington. Washington and Maryland winning the BIG transfer portal battle...so far, although I agree that Maryland's Merkle and Garzon may hamper Frese's preferred up-tempo style of play. Gophers winning the retention battle, although Michigan keeping most of their key...

Yes, important to note that she had a year and a half with the program and didn't earn many minutes. One would think that she could certainly become an adequate defender in that amount of time. So maybe it wasn't just the defense...maybe the talent level or just not a good fit. Wishing her...

Impressive to see that this group is staying together. That says a lot about the coaching staff and the young women themselves. Not many programs can show this high retention rate. If this group can stay healthy, they should be an NCAA tourney team. If they can add a key player or two through...

IMO, way too much speculation by some on next year's starting lineup. As we were all reminded this year, injuries are often a factor and we don't know yet how players will improve in the off-season. I wouldn't be surprised if Tori is able to improve her game quite a bit, as lots of players make...

Heyer is an elite rebounder...and when she scores like she has the past 2 games she is a major factor. And Tori so solid on both ends of the court. This team has some good momentum going into next year.
