    Other B1G Conference Games 2024-25

    We have some very good shooters. Heyer, Grocholski, Stewart, and Battle are all decent from the arc, Sophie is fun to watch inside, as well as several of them that are great at driving and putting up tough shots. UCLA just had depth and excellent defense today. They got on a roll, and our...

    B1G Game 11: Gophers visit UCLA (2-2-25)

    Some players would probably do a lot better at the mid major level.

    B1G Game 11: Gophers visit UCLA (2-2-25)

    UCLA is a very big team, not just height, but also muscle mass. They are strong, they are confident, and they have a lot of future WNBA draft (and lottery) picks on their roster. We are hanging in this game, when nobody expected us to, despite being without one of our best players. I think we’re OK.

    B1G Game 11: Gophers visit UCLA (2-2-25)

    Heyer is definitely providing offense. She sets screens. She moves without the ball. She enables other people to take shots. Maybe she’s missing her own, but she’s definitely providing offense as well as defense.

    B1G Game 10: Gophers visit Southern Cal (1-30-25)

    And she does this very well. She is tenacious at on-ball defending, staying with the toughest guards on the other team for the past several games. She creates steals and tips, as well as forcing bad passes. And for being so small, she gets more rebounds than I would expect. Yes, she is not a...

    B1G Game 10: Gophers visit Southern Cal (1-30-25)

    In addition to poor defense, Johnson does not create offense for others, instead she is always looking to get the ball for herself. She doesn’t intentionally move without the ball to set screens or assist others.

    Because she only played a limited number of games at her previous school, before she transferred.

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

    I know that we will see more students as word of the $1000 scholarship spreads. And hopefully the great play of the women’s team can convert these fans, who regularly show up for the men’s games.

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

    I have to comment that I love Alexia’s defense. She created a few forced turnovers, whether or not she was credited for the steals, and she forced a few bad shots as well. As to her shooting, our players are skilled enough to use screens and create more open looks, even for somebody with her...

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

    Why would we play to their strengths? Let’s make them play to ours. If they can’t match up with our bigs, we will just go right to the middle. We are excellent at defense with our normal starters.

    And now Shyanne Sellers has a knee injury as well.

    However, if you look at the fire warning area, both schools are in that red zone on the map. Maybe Northwestern decided to use caution because they were taking the health of their players into consideration. Not just the fire, but the smoke and ash, which has encouraged a lot of people out there...

    Maryland was missing two of their better players when they faced Wisconsin last week. Both players were back last night.

    Mara Braun re-broke the same bone in her right foot, according to head coach Dawn Plitzuweit.

    Yes, that is one of the factors. In addition to potentially causing injury to your starters, it leads coaches to give the bench less developmental minutes. So, after those same starters get tired or hurt, the coach needs to bring in the bench players, but they have not had the exposure that...

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

    It was a fun game to be at. I love how Rose plays defense, anticipating screens and reading passes. While she can’t shoot the three, she was making very good passes inside and moving well without the ball. She had some very good hustle plays. Mallory had some wonderful hustle plays as well ...

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

    While I agree that GG needs some back up, I think they would go with the more proven impact of Czinano, as she plays solid defense and moves without the ball. In addition, she can shoot the three. As for a backup for Hart and Stewart, I do like Holloway’s length and her defensive skills...

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

    I think this young lady has forgotten that she needs to follow the team rules and keep herself on the basketball court, and that the coach has the last say in these types of decisions. She may call herself “the Product”, but the Coach is “the Boss” and the court is “the Factory”. And The Boss...
