I'm very optimistic about Iowa and Indiana. Both teams seem to be struggling a bit since they each lost the best player their programs had ever had last year. Oregon looks to be pretty on par with Illinois, which means they're on par with the Gophers and should be beatable on a good day.

Sophie was terrific today. She fearlessly and effectively took on Serah Williams, who is one of the best post players in the Big Ten, if not the entire country. I'm very impressed Sophie kept up with her (16 points each and 5 vs 6 rebounds)! And props to Battle for the few steals she got when...

The AP poll has the Gophers up one spot to 23 now, and Michigan is back in the top 25, so this sets up another ranked matchup for Wednesday.

Northwestern picked off UNLV and Utah in non conference play and very nearly picked off Michigan and Indiana.

Fantastic game last night! I didn't expect it to be so close against the powerhouse that Maryland is this year. It makes me wonder what would have happened if McKinney hadn't been in foul trouble so early and if Stewart had played closer to her average of 16 minutes instead of just the 6 she...

It seems like voters in the AP poll have punished teams who lose this year, even when those losses were to teams they consider "better" in the rankings. The Gophers played a fantastic game last night despite being up against stiff competition, foul trouble, and whatever led to Stewart's low...

Not to mention that decisions like these may come from higher up than even the basketball program. Going into an active disaster area is not without risk to players and staff, and it's possible that Northwestern's athletics department or the university itself were not comfortable accepting the...

The AP Poll just released this morning has the Gophers ranked 24th!

I believe I read an article (don't remember where) that said Dawn actually inherited most of last season's schedule from Whalen and that this was the first year she got free reign.

It looks like McMiller is NOT dressed, so maybe she's not going to play tonight.

I'm honestly not too surprised about Tori being in concussion protocol given she took at least two (that I remember) falls in the fourth quarter of the Illinois game and hit her head pretty hard both times. I might eat my words later, but I don't think her being out will matter much for the...

Agreed! Coach P has already done wonders for this team and has taught each player some valuable new skills that we've all seen at different times this season. Mara already had some tremendous talent, and I'm sure she's learned a lot from her coach in the last year. Unfortunately, we have only...

There is someone on Reddit who usually puts it together each week.

We actually got 7 points but only 3 votes (still great news!). Here's how everyone voted.

It looks like the Big Ten combined the last two weeks for their weekly awards, and Tori did end up getting Big Ten Freshman of the Week! https://bigten.org/wbb/article/bltda79670c3a80a34a/

How many Big Ten wins do we need to amass before we give this a rest? Clearly we are decently prepared to play (especially defend!) in the Big Ten despite an easier non-conference schedule. Also, did you miss the below article mentioning that the Gophers' NET ranking of 28 is the highest its...

Probably not. Serah Williams was about to foul out. A win is a win, and any win against the Badgers is an improvement from last year (especially comparing this game without Mara to the one we played without her and lost by 11).
