I should have never brought her name up. I'm frustrated that the Gophers, no matter who the coach is or who the players are, can never seemingly achieve what should be a very low bar of making it back to the NCAA Tournament because I hate that the most successful season in recent history...

Illinois has won at Maryland, at Indiana, and beaten Iowa, Oregon, and Nebraska. Otherwise using that logic, Wisconsin is better than Michigan this season since they beat them (or MIchigan isn't any good because they lost to Wisconsin), etc.

How did she, at South Dakota, ever beat Iowa State, Missouri, Ohio State, Creighton, South Dakota State, Ole Miss, and Baylor, or was that the flukiest run ever?

Illinois has been playing almost like a Top-25 since Cook was out for the season. Nebraska beat Oregon without Britt Prince and Potts out for the season are a likely Tournament team right now. Iowa won at Washington without Stuelke by 24 points which more than cancels out barely losing at...

Every team other than the Gophers seem to have no problem being able to compete and win games with players injured though.

Then we'll have to live another year knowing that the greatest coach in Gopher WBB history, based on results, was Marlene Stollings, the coach of the only team in NCAA history to miss the Tournament with an AP First-Team All-American and who couldn't last more than two years on her subsequent...

I have no idea why Nebraska would've been behind Minnesota since all I could figure is they are being punished for having played at Creighton and at Georgia Tech (both losses) instead of playing two more cupcakes. Going off of Charlie Creme's last update on Tuesday, the good news over the past...

The super bright side is I cannot find a season this century in which Gopher WBB had zero losses against teams that didn't make the NCAA Tournament (I see two games when Whalen was injured in '04 and one without McCarville at the begging of the 04-05 season) so this could be a first if they can...

It's if they are ranked when you play them so the Gophers' 34-game losing streak against Top-25 teams is still intact. Even 1-14 Penn State has more Top-25 wins in Big Ten play this year than the Gophers do. But Illinois is still only 31 in NET so that means Wisconsin (beating Michigan) and...

Decent teams play on Weakling Wednesday now. Also if the Gophers are the 40-44th best team in NCAA WBB they have been very consistent in that they beat everybody worse than them and lost to everybody sizably better than them. And they beat teams in their same tier or slightly better...

I knew this game was over when I saw Sloane Martin was on the call because at best, I think Gopher WBB have a 2-15 record with her, though I probably am missing a few games but don't want to double-check.

What they used before the Quad system. I was looking here: https://stats.ncaa.org/selection_rankings/season_divisions/18423/nitty_gritties If someone was looking at Warren Nolan, since the subsequent poster brought it up, whatever they used before this season I'm guessing either matched what...

On the NCAA stats page I see these columns now: Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 vs TOP 100 when before they were: NET 1-25 NET 26-50 NET 51-100 NET 101+ vs TOP 100 vs below 150 unless that's not official or I'm looking at the wrong thing.

How was it done before? 1-25, 26-50, 51-100, 101+ with no regard to home/neutral/away? I found 2023 Georgia. NET 33 Their best win was NET 39 Mississippi State (at home). Nobody else they beat made the NCAA Tournament and they got in as a #10 seed (they beat Florida St in the first round and...

The bubble is weak this year so the Gophers just need to beat Washington and a couple more games and they are still probably in.

I assume the Gophers need Braun to have a hot-shooting game with everybody else to have enough firepower to outscore a top-ranked team. In good news, at least as long as the Gophers win at Purdue, this could be the first season in maybe forever they have gone without a bad loss.

Yes. They beat Arizona St at home non-conference Whalen's 2nd season as coach when the Sun Devils were ranked #19 before whatever happened that derailed that season once Big Ten play started. Edit: When is the last time they beat a ranked team on the road? All I could find was 2009 when they...

It still counts as a Quad 1 win at this moment (their only one so far) unless you think the Gophers without those 2 players are frauds and shouldn't be or aren't going to be a NCAA Tournament team. Though Michigan's standards should be higher enough that making beating the Gophers their Super...

Of course technically they moved up one spot due to Oklahoma St dropping a couple spots from their loss to Houston. Oklahoma St getting ranked only to lose a Quad 4 game is proof I shouldn't care who is ranked or not since nobody knows or there is barely any difference between teams after the...
