Our young players are up and down and it is difficult for Whalen or us to know who is going to show up and when. Katie: people comment on her turnovers and wild shots. She makes some bad passes but she also makes some passes that no one else can. Her three-point shooting (30.6%) is similar...

They had their chances. In the 4th, they got tight, tried to do too much, and made mistakes. Gradwell had another good game (12 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds, 1 block, 1 steal, and 0 T.O.). She needs more playing time and can help steady the team.

Many people on this thread believe that Whalen is a bad coach and believe that the results are her fault. After today's game, at what point do the players have ownership and responsibility for their poor play?

I would guess that Whalen was trying to keep players fresh because of the demands of the press. I think it is strange that Heyer only played 18 minutes because she is one of their most consistent players. She may have had trouble on defense. Battle played 23 minutes and didn't warrant more...

Disgusting loss. They seemed to be revealing in their last victory. Some players didn't show up. Their energy level was low--it was like they were conserving their energy and effort for the 4th quarter. Unfortunately, they got buried first. The scouting report says stop Micheaux and...

Dramatic game. Everyone played well and contributed. They maintained their composure given the pressure and all the foul calls. Let's build on it.

Hometown is Marietta, Georgia. Went to Univ. of Georgia in 2020-21. Went to Loyola Marymount University last year. Georgia was ranked about 38 in the RPI and lost in the second round of the NCAA to Texas (3-0). LMU was ranked about 49 in the RPI and lost in the first round to Oregon (3-0)...

I agree but. . . .we lost Booth in the volleyball transfer portal to Wisconsin because her father, who played in the NBA, thought of his daughter as a Free Agent more than as a young woman who might have some friendships or ties. She said that she wasn't thinking about transferring until she...

Gophers need to find some momentum.

What does this say about the chemistry of the Gopher women's basketball team?

Whalen was doing a lot of subbing to keep Rose from fouling out. The refs were letting the game be very physical. The way things were going, Rose would have fouled out early in the third quarter. Unfortunately, we do not have strong backups in the post or front court. And, if we don't have...

D-E-F-E-N-S-E. The scouting report says that the Gophers love to skate and score. But, if you can get physical with them and disrupt their offense, you can beat them because they don't get set on defense.

I would also like to see her shoot some three-pointers. She only has 4 all season. If she could hit some three-pointers, it would take some pressure off Rose and other players.

We are in a Catch-22 with women's basketball and many Gopher sports. The programs are so poor that you can't get impact players to come and you can't get good without impact players. Gopher women's basketball has only had 28 winning seasons in 50 years and no conference titles, and only 10...

Another disappointing loss. They played hard and fought hard. Heyer was fouled on the rebound at the end of the game but the refs did not want to have a game decided by free throws with tenths of a second left. Heyer was amazing. She is an outstanding all-around player. Braun started out...

Defense can create offense.

Great hockey game. Gophers had lots of chances. Good offense and passing. Need to play more consistent defense. Anything can happen in UW-UM series. Every game from now on is big. Go Gophers.

OSU shut Rose down and got her in foul trouble. If Rose is not in the game, who can provide an inside game? No choice but to see who will show up: Oberg, Hammond, or Gradwell? Without Rose's scoring, where does it come from? Braun produced points tonight but you need to find someone else to...

Pathetic. I think our freshmen have hit the freshman wall. They have discovered that there are many people in college who are just as good or better. Now what? You have to figure out how to make your game better. You have to hone your skills or work harder. Can they do it? Will the light...
