    B1G game 1: Gophers host Maryland 12-7-25

    I agree. Last year, I thought Battle was trying to be the point guard and the go-to shooter. She has a great mid-range jumper and can get to the basket. I felt she should have spent more time running the offense and spending time setting up and making her teammates better. This year, I think...

    B1G game 1: Gophers host Maryland 12-7-25

    Gophers snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Disappointing. They will eventually self-destruct. Coach should have used her timeout earlier to advance the ball and hopefully go to the free throw line instead of giving up an easy steal and layup.

    B1G match 20: Gophers host Badgers 11-28-25

    I hope the Gophers can host the first two rounds, too. But, I am pessimistic. I think they are on the borderline for hosting. The NCAA knows that they will get a bigger crowd and more money at the PAV. However, I think there also is pressure to pass the opportunity to host around.

    B1G match 20: Gophers host Badgers 11-28-25

    Disappointing loss. The Gophers were tight and played in slow motion. Badgers were in high gear and out-hustled the Gophers. Terrible receiving and passing. The Badgers knew exactly what the Gophers were going to do--good scouting and game plan. Gophers are too predictable.

    Did any watch the Purdue match or . . .

    Near the end of the 4th set, Hanson strung together a bunch of kills and points to help the Gophers pull away. Her eyes were staring into space and someone shook her. She was like, "Don't shake me, I am in the Zone."

    Gopher Women's Hockey 2025-2026

    Holy Moly Batman, Minnesota State swept the Gopher Women's hockey team. Saturday was a bad day for Gopher fans: Women's and Men's hockey, Men's basketball, and football teams lose. Sometimes, I think that they should not let the women athletes drink the same water, or whatever, as the men.

    Game 5: Gophers visit Kansas 11-19-25

    Terrible shooting: 34.4% FG% & 21.7%. Rebounds even (33), FT% about even (80%:82%) but Kansas shot 7 more free throws and made 6 more, and assists even (12). Minnesota had fewer turnovers (11 vs 19), more steals (9 vs 4), more points off turnovers (13 vs 9), and more fast break points (8 vs...

    B1G 15: Gophers host PSU 11-14-25

    Big win against PSU. Straight sets, too. The Gophers got tougher when it got tight at the end of each set. The Gophers needed this win for a decent seeding and draw in the NCAA. Go Gophers.

    Signing up for Big Ten +

    They can't handle the traffic that they have now. Streaming gets really slow on days with lots of games. Many times, I have lost the stream near the end of a game; it is especially frustrating when the end of the game is in doubt. I suspect that they are getting a whole new group of fans...

    B1G match 13: Gophers visit Badgers 11-5-25

    I can't keep track of the substitutions and rotations watching on BIG+. It puzzles me how Gilk and Kinney can get hot and then we don't see anything from them for stretches. A strategy for beating Minnesota is to let Hansen get her 20 kills because the other hitters and middles won't hurt you...
