    McKenna Johnson's Playing Time

    I agree that Battle is a good basketball player. I also think that she is a good point guard. The problem is that the team often needs her to be a scorer because they are not getting much scoring from the rest of the team. There are not many point guards that can be scoring machines and...

    McKenna Johnson's Playing Time

    Minnesota has four players from the Transfer Portal who are better players than Johnson is right now. Your high school ranking doesn't mean much once you step onto the college court. You have to earn your position all over. The lack of NIL money and Minnesota's record will make it extremely...

    B1G Game 17: Gophers host Washington (2-26-25)

    Disappointing loss. Poor ball movement. Catch the ball and look and look and look. You shoot it! No you shoot it! And for a change in tactics. Dribble, dribble, dribble, and maybe try to drive to the basket after the defense is set.

    B1G Game 16: Gophers visit Purdue (2-19-25)

    Congratulations on a 20 win season! Good to get the win. The play was rather up and down. The defense was stagnant, especially in the first half, and then pretty good. The offense was stagnant at times and then great. I hope that they can savor their victory, rest up, and get ready for the...

    B1G Game 15: Gophers host Ducks (2-16-25)

    Gophers play like they have a designated scorer. Indecision. They catch the ball and look first to pass it. The indecision costs them an open shot, a drive to the basket, or a good pass. The end result is that they dribble around and get trapped. The game plan has taken GG, McKinney, Heyer...

    Gophers Women's Hockey 2024-25 Season

    Memo to Gopher Women's hockey team. You have had three bad losses. It is in your head. Shake it off. Remember to work on improving and playing as a team. The best team does not always win the conference tournament or national championship. The team that gets Hot at the right time wins the...

    B1G Game 13: Gophers host Indiana (2-9-25)

    Great win. They played great defense. Outstanding rebounding. Offense was up-and-down but got the job done. They stayed tough at the end and could have unraveled as IU tried to step up the intensity. Battle, Hart, and Heyer had double digit points. Heyer got another double-double (10...

    B1G Game 12: Gophers host Iowa (2-6-25)

    Disappointing loss. The Gophers played like they were stranded in a snow storm and didn't get to the gym until the last minute. They didn't seem to have a good game plan. GG and Battle were 0 - 10 on 3-point shots. Mckinney (16 pts) and Stewart (14 pts) got going in the end. Heyer got her...

    Gophers Women's Hockey 2024-25 Season

    Big Gopher win over the #2 Buckeyes, 3-1. Scoreless first two periods. Gophers broke it open with three goals in the first half of the third period. They pressured the Buckeyes most of the game. Buckeyes score in the last two minutes with an extra attacker. Goal by former Gopher Emily...

    B1G Game 9: Gophers host Badgers (1-26-25)

    Great to beat Wisconsin. A tale of two halves. G.G. kept the Gophers in it in the first half. Gophers played a smothering defense in the second half. They took Wisconsin out of the paint in shooting and rebounding, and Wisconsin couldn't answer with outside shooting. Hart and Heyer caught...

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

    Battle is a great point guard, defensive player, and shooter. She is the most consistent shooter on the team. It is hard to do all those aspects for almost 40 minutes. I sometimes think it would be good to play Battle as a shooting guard with her wonderful mid-range pull-up jump shot and her...

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

    Tough game to lose, but it was a well played game. Michigan was hot from the 3-point range. Minnesota couldn't get hot at the end. Good learning experience. Beat Wisconsin.

    B1G Game 7: Gophers visit Northwestern (1-19-25

    Gophers stole a game from Northwestern. Gopher defense was porous most of the game. They got outhustled most of the game. G.G. had an awesome game. She kept them in the game until the other players found their games.

    Gophers Women's Hockey 2024-25 Season

    Another good Gopher game and a 5 -2 win over Minnesota State. Good team effort and some new players are finding their groove. Josefin Bouveng got a hat trick! Go Gophers.

    Gophers Women's Hockey 2024-25 Season

    Gophers got the win (4 - 2) against the St. Thomas. They looked rather sluggish and the Tommies were hyped. Gophers had more penalties (6 -3) and more penalty minutes (15 - 6), including a major and an ejection. They couldn't get good momentum. Hopefully, they will raise their game tomorrow...

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

    Nice to get the win tonight. Although McKinney didn't play, some other players got extra playing time and opportunities. The play was a little ragged but bench players got good experience. Johnson had a great game and hopefully will be able to make more contributions in the rest of the games.

    Gophers Women's Hockey 2024-25 Season

    Bad loss against Penn State. Hopefully, they have learned that you cannot take any team for granted. If you don't bring your "A" game, bad things can happen. If you don't play a full game, you can get in a hole that you cannot dig out of. I don't think that we have a crisis. They should...

    December 2024 NCAA Women's Volleyball Portal

    Gophers need some players to take their games to the next level like Hanson did. They are losing two All-conference players. If the team is going to move up the ranks next year, they need to find some All-conference caliber players.
