McKinney is another example of Coach P's good recruiting eye. McKinney can really play, and is a plus athlete who will really help in the new BIG 18. ESPN had 32 BIG signees in the top 100 (no McKinney), and ASGR had 34 BIG signees in the top 100, with McKinney finishing at 103. I would take...

Good reminder about the national recruiting the Gophers have been doing, which included getting visits from both Cearah Parchment (ESPN # 40) and Kaelyn Carroll, who moved up to ESPN # 15, but was much lower when the Gophers started recruiting her. I'm curious if you have a source for "The top...

Mara's value should be appreciated, even with her efficiency challenges. As of today, Mara is top 15 in the league in both Win Shares and Per*Minutes (an estimate of total value created by a player using their per minute player efficiency rating). These stats aggregate by game, and Mara didn't...

Any idea how the economics work for the Gophers for this event? Any revenue for the Gophers?

Spot on. The Gophers are currently leading the nation with the lowest turnover rate.

Woodson and Stewart saved the day. SMU is highly likely to be a 20 loss team. Losing to them would really hurt the tourney resume.

Duke might have been the leader until Emilee Skinner committed there. Skinner is a ball dominant PG in the ‘25 class ranked higher than Greenway.

I like your logic, but ESPN+ has a long schedule of games listed as shown tomorrow. The Gophers game is not one of them. Same story for Sunday.

I count 4-21 versus D-1 teams. Gophers currentky ranked 284 for non-con strength of schedule per Warren Nolan (believe this is RPI basis not NET). https://www.warrennolan.com/basketballw/2025/schedule/Minnesota

Should pair nicely, after a year, with Greenway (as seems likely).

This year’s schedule is Coach P’s schedule. She is playing the level of teams she wants to play.

No TV/streaming of any kind for this weekend's 2 Gopher games?

Fingers crossed for Wed. commitment. Would be a huge get.

If she has a legitimate hardship reason other than getting beat out at NC State so her 5 games shouldn't count, then I'm all for the waiver. But if it's just she chose the wrong college, and shouldn't have gone back for her sophomore year, but only played 5 games so give her a break, then I am...

If I understand your post, Hart is a senior this year. Don’t believe she has another year, unless she somehow got a waiver from the NCAA. Did I miss that? Not sure what the basis would be for a waiver. Played 5 games as a sophomore, but was buried on the bench so transferred mid-year. Not...

Share to a lesser degree your interest in attendance. Wonder if you know or have a sense when reported attendance figures changed from the number of people actually there to the number of tickets distributed. The Gophers are no different than other schools, but reported attendance figures...

Agree that the numbers are good, or at least not bad, given the unattractive home schedule. The Gophers play a weak home non-conference schedule, and then play all of the pre-season top 5 BIG teams (USC, UCLA, OSU, MD & Neb) on the road.

Montana and Vermont look like the 2 best home opponents.

Disagree. The beginning of the end for Nebraska was when they lost their ability to take academically marginal recruits who couldn’t go to Big Ten and many other schools. Tom Osborne fought hard to keep this advantage because he knew what it meant. As Mike Farrell recently wrote: Another...

Agree 100%. Much better for all concerned when players like Crump and Greenway make it clear early on they are not coming to the home state school.
