Iowa's bench is making an enormous difference in what is looking like a win over the Spartans.

I'm not sure I understand this thinking. Indiana is comfortably ahead of Minnesota in terms of getting in. The teams Minnesota needs to worry about are the teams that are currently behind them. Virginia Tech, Stanford and Arizona lost, which is good news for the Gophers. We'll see what happens...

If we're paying attention to the eight or so teams who seem to be behind the Gophers and might be able to grab NCAA spots, it's worth noting that one of them, once-mighty Stanford, just suffered a bad loss to Clemson in their tourney. The Cardinal will definitely miss the tournament for the...

These missed layups...

Not much has happened either, other than early foul trouble for Battle. Looks a lot like the game last week.

Whalen was injured her senior year (when she memorably returned, as if nothing had happened, in the first round of the NCAA tournament to slip by UCLA).

I don't think anyone has posted that Plitzuweit confirmed that Braun will not return this season.

Meanwhile others (like Iowa State and Virginia Tech) are getting the Quad 1 wins that can help them move past the Gophers.

I said "underprepared," not "completely unprepared." The Gophers were well-prepared to beat terrible teams.

Ok, they won 20 games but, at the risk of being accused of sounding this horn again, most of those wins were against godawful teams. Precisely one of the non-conference opponents finished with a winning record. They are, essentially, bad wins that left the team underprepared for the conference...

The "ignore" function can make this site a much more pleasant place to visit.

Honestly, they've done nothing to deserve to be in

Well, there were a lot of those.

OSU getting killed by Indiana. Usual Buckeye problem: They can't shoot. (39 points through three quarters)

Well, Purdue is a much worse team than the Gophers. And there is a middle ground...

Definitely heading in the right direction. Next year, I'd love to see her have a more post-like shooting percentage (not asking for a Gracie Merkle 67 percent but a Rose Micheaux 56 percent would be nice. Hart is at 49 percent).

They aren't just on her but when she dribbles off her own foot...

Three-year starting point guard with 7 turnovers? Unacceptable.

Well, if those "legacy teams" weren't all losing a pair to the LA teams ...

I think it's going to be rough. But the other thing about OSU is that, like a surprising number of teams in the B1G (including the Gophers), they have games where their offense seems to disappear for a quarter at a time.
