Yeah, she struggled in the first half. Seems like she's trying to force the action and had some bad turnovers..

Our team looks sluggish and unsure right now. On defense, PSU is quicker and anticipating very well to close off passing/driving lanes in the half court. On offense, Owusu seems to be a mismatch for us. That stepback at the end of the half was just unfair. While the defensive rebounding for...

No, the Penn State player. Sanders was right there and her reaction while walking away indicated she knew the PSU player might have a bad injury.

Bigger issue might be clearing defensive boards and cutting down on the live ball turnovers that create run-outs. Man I hope that girls leg is OK. Judgiing from Sanders reaction, she thinks it pretty bad.

That must have been fun! Went to school in Mankato from 74-77, but unfortunately, have not had the opportunity to see them in the Taylor Center. Mostly because of my aversion to be in Minnesota during winter ever again. :)

I'm interested to see what and where Holloway's minutes will come. With-out seeing her in any practices, and just limited minutes in the post, I'm curious if she might be capable of guarding a 3 out on the perimeter occasionally. She's long, athletic and fairly quick (at least in the post)...

Count me as another who figured (figures) a 500 in the Big 10 will be a great step and should be considered a successful season. Finishing in the top 4-5 in the Big Ten would far exceed my expectations for this years team. This season is for installing a system and culture and learning how to...

I saw an interview with Coach P last week in which she mentioned that she wants Battle to look for her shot and be a scoring threat from the point guard spot. She also explained why. I think they'd be comfortable with her taking 10-12 shots per game. She is certainly capable of creating good...

The "Improvement Highway" is full of curves, potholes, dips and hills. And right now, most of the drivers are still relatively young. And just when they think they've got a handle on it, a deer will suddenly spring out of the woods on you. Oh, and you're instructor is much different from the...

I'm only able to follow on Live Stats, but it seems the more significant problem for the Gophers tonight is that nobody seems to be able to match-up against McKenzie. She's 11-13 with 5 boards and 2 steals. I mean, we're shooting 44% and 50% from 3, but McKenzie in close and the Points off...

Although we are way farther along as a team as compared to last year at this time, I'm not sure we're at Indiana level yet. I think that if Everything Absolutely Clicks, we have a chance to pull an upset. That's a tough ask on the road against a really good team. I also think we could play...

Learned something this morning. Thanks!

Regarding Charges and Illegal screens. I know that Sanders caught one break on a charge when she was clearly way inside the circle under the basket. I know that many officials will talk to coaches prior to the game to let them know some of the specific things they'll be looking for...

I noticed the issue with Braun leaving a lot of room for defenders off of screens as well. Not sure if that's on her or the screeners placement or timing. Having said that, must give a lot of credit for the defense that Shelly played. When they switched, I thought all the Nebraska defenders...

9.1 shots per game last year. About 10 shots per game this year. Shooting 40% which is much better than last year I think. 3.8 turnovers per game last year. Closer to 3.1 this year.

The thing that jumped out at me in the first half is the outstanding defensive job that Shelly is doing on Mara Braun. Up in Brauns face, fighting through and recovering quickly on screens. She's been impressive. Those two might just cancel each other out, though good offensive players...

Cool down Brotha! but I'm far more concerned about he and the team continuing to play well, improve and pick up enough wins to qualify for the post season. Not sure where anything in that statement says YOU don't care about team success. But if that's what you read into it......... well, not...

Whoo-wee! Hahaha. I can see that I've been schooled. The overreaction to one guys opinion was certainly entertaining! Certainly learned my lesson! :)

While I'm glad he's playing well and adjusted to be more under control as the season has gone on, I guess I'm a little more invested in the team than the premature countdown to an individual record. It's awesome to have a dynamic point guard, but I'm far more concerned about he and the team...

No matter how many shots a good shooter misses, as long as you're taking open shots and with-in the rhythm of the offense, most coaches will be OK with a good shooter taking open 3's. If you stay confident and aware of "good shot vs bad shot", 0-5 is no predictor of the next open shot being a...
