Gophers win in Iowa looks more impressive today after Iowa handles Michigan easily, 62-44. 24 turnovers for Michigan. 24 points for Iowa's Heiden.

I think you nailed it. They'd have to give it to Close if her teams sails thru the BIG undefeated. (Of course, she's got a WNBA-like roster.) Coach P and Barnes Arico have also done great jobs and Pingeton's Badgers have won more games than I thought they would. On the hot seat...Gearlds at...

Iowa knocks off Purdue as expected but without Hannah Steulke who did not play due to 'upper body injury'. I'm wondering if she'll be available for big game this weekend versus Michigan. And Nebraska loses to Oregon 80-76. It's looking like the Huskers could finish 6-12 in the BIG and unless...

Earlier in conference play, many of us, me included, were critical of the Gophers offense. The progress this team has made on the offensive end is remarkable. Yes, they'll still have stretches where they are missing shots (including some easy shots) but now they're almost always getting good...

Do I recall that you said earlier in the year that you were not a Coach P fan? Just teasing, but have you changed your opinion yet?😁

A couple of things: Amaya has become such a solid player--good defender, great rebounder, good FT shooter, ability to get to the basket, smooth jump shot inside the arc, knows her limitations outside the arc. Second, Hart has become a really solid post. Earlier in the season, I was sometimes...

I could certainly be wrong, but I googled "Are Kennedy and Jaloni Chambers sisters and there are at least a dozen sources that say they are sisters...AI, Wikipedia, and Columbus Dispatch (a reputable hometown newspaper). Apparently, Kennedy is Jaloni's older sister. All these sources could be...

Tonight's game showed the difference between a team with balance and a team without. Really nice win for our Gophers.

Gophers handling the full court pressure well. If they can start to hit shots, they should be okay. Whoever is working the scoring bar on the telecast needs to 'get in the game'. 4 times so far they have forgotten to log the score immediately after a basket has been made.

They ARE sisters.

NCAA men's basketball has neutral sites for opening rounds. But with the popularity of men's hoops, fans will travel to neutral sites. Women's basketball probably not at that level yet, but that day may be coming.

You're right. And, if my memory is correct, K State was the top seed in that regional. Also, I recall that the NCAA tried neutral sites for the first round of the NCAA tourney before they opted to use top 16 seeds as sites. With the explosion of women's basketball popularity, maybe we see them...

I'm an old codger and some of my fondest memories are of the 2004 regionals at Williams Arena. Whalen's return from injury and a hard-earned win over UCLA. Then the walloping of a very good Kansas State team. William's Arena was absolutely electric for both games. (Only Game 6 of the '91 World...

I liked the idea of having a marquee BIG game during the day on President's Day...Iowa vs. Nebraska. Really nice crowd including lots of Hawkeyes fans who made the trip from Iowa. National exposure for the teams and the conference. Iowa doing a good job of staying very relevant in its post...
