    B1G Game 8: Gophers host Michigan (1-22-25)

    I know that we will see more students as word of the $1000 scholarship spreads. And hopefully the great play of the women’s team can convert these fans, who regularly show up for the men’s games.

    B1G Game 8: Gophers host Michigan (1-22-25)

    I have to comment that I love Alexia’s defense. She created a few forced turnovers, whether or not she was credited for the steals, and she forced a few bad shots as well. As to her shooting, our players are skilled enough to use screens and create more open looks, even for somebody with her...

    B1G Game 8: Gophers host Michigan (1-22-25)

    Why would we play to their strengths? Let’s make them play to ours. If they can’t match up with our bigs, we will just go right to the middle. We are excellent at defense with our normal starters.

    However, if you look at the fire warning area, both schools are in that red zone on the map. Maybe Northwestern decided to use caution because they were taking the health of their players into consideration. Not just the fire, but the smoke and ash, which has encouraged a lot of people out there...

    If you follow the weather channel, they knew the Santa Ana winds were coming back this week. They were talking about it on the air last Thursday.

    Mara Braun re-broke the same bone in her right foot, according to head coach Dawn Plitzuweit.

    Yes, that is one of the factors. In addition to potentially causing injury to your starters, it leads coaches to give the bench less developmental minutes. So, after those same starters get tired or hurt, the coach needs to bring in the bench players, but they have not had the exposure that...

    B1G Game 5: Gophers host Rutgers (1-8-25)

    It was a fun game to be at. I love how Rose plays defense, anticipating screens and reading passes. While she can’t shoot the three, she was making very good passes inside and moving well without the ball. She had some very good hustle plays. Mallory had some wonderful hustle plays as well ...

    B1G Game 5: Gophers host Rutgers (1-8-25)

    While I agree that GG needs some back up, I think they would go with the more proven impact of Czinano, as she plays solid defense and moves without the ball. In addition, she can shoot the three. As for a backup for Hart and Stewart, I do like Holloway’s length and her defensive skills...

    B1G Game 5: Gophers host Rutgers (1-8-25)

    I think this young lady has forgotten that she needs to follow the team rules and keep herself on the basketball court, and that the coach has the last say in these types of decisions. She may call herself “the Product”, but the Coach is “the Boss” and the court is “the Factory”. And The Boss...

    Taylor Woodson suffered a season-ending knee injury

    Most of the ACL’s that I have witnessed have been non-contact. A player lands wrong on a jump stop or rebound, turns wrong on a pivot, etc…. Occasionally, I have seen it happen when they run into a player on a block or charge, but not as often.

    St. Thomas already made a two level jump to Division 1, back in the 21-22 season.

    Taylor Woodson suffered a season-ending knee injury

    I’m guessing probably not, because if she’s played in 12 games that’s probably more than 30% of the season. It depends on how deep they go into the postseason though.

    Game 10: Gophers host North Florida (12-3-24)

    Only 6 of the 14 turnovers were from the starters. 8 were from the bench. Rose had 2 turnovers, but she had 7 assists . I’ll take that team-oriented action any day!

    Recruiting

    While at South Dakota, Coach P always scheduled as tough as possible. In 21–22, they had the toughest non-con schedule in the nation. I believe that she will be continue to do this for the future for the gophers, but it does take time to get other teams to want to play you.

    Game 7: Gophers host Montana (11-24-24)

    I thought Rose played an amazing defensive game. The steals, forced bad passes, and just general pressure, were valuable. She got fouled on some of her shots, and I think with more experience under this system, I see her being a very valuable asset off the bench for the second half of the season.
