I'd like to see Tori develop a pull-up jump shot. With her speed, she often has the defense back on its heels. There have been many times where if she would just stop, she'd have a wide open shot.

Glad to see you're back. Was worried that you had decided to withhold your wisdom from us poor unenlightened masses.

"Marlene was a good coach"? Yeah, so good that she was fired from her last job for abusive behavior. Not my idea of good.

I thought it turned when Battle took over the point. Dribbling replaced ball movement, and the turnovers started to pile up.

Sounds like heartfelt goodbye post from a graduating senior. Nothing mysterious about it.

Musselman, Dutcher, Clem, Bill Fitch (based on what he did later)

Maybe in this new world of "anything goes" college athletics, it might work, but l have never heard of this being tried before. They better know the answer before they put her back on the court.

Moral victory? No. But a hellava game.

Have to give Hart credit. She never quits and makes the most of her ability.

We have at least two starters who are shut down completely whenever faced with speed and quickness. The only way to fix that is thru recruiting.

After looking so discombobulated on offense, it's a miracle that the game is this close.

I'm not sure comparing Johnson's stats to any of the starters is fair considering the wide disparity in minutes. I would like to see more minutes for the bench players too, but using such a small sample size as justification for more playing time can be misleading.

Hart was 1 for 7 at close range, the team shot .25 % from long range, and they got beat on the boards. But go ahead, blame the refs (it was a home game, wasn't it?), if it makes you feel better.

Sad that you have to bring up race. The Gophers lost because they're not athletic enough and, when shooting, couldn't hit the broadside of a barn. The refs or race had nothing to do with it. But keep those excuses handy for future games.

The Gophers hustle, play hard the whole game, and are good defensively. To take the next step, however, the recruiting will have to go to another level. More shooters, athletes, and size are needed.

JuJu is a great player, but the announcers practically anointed her for sainthood. I wouldn't be surprised if they sent her flowers after the game.

And every time she drives into a thicket of bigs or misses a wide open three, I cringe. Many of her attempts are so bad or forced, they should be labeled turnovers. Her ball handling and defense are great, but I wish she had a better understanding of her limitations.

I agree with everything you say, especially about the dribbling. It slows everything down, and eventually discourages people from moving and cutting to the basket.

I just wish she realized that.
