    What grade would you give the Gophers 2024-2025 season?

    We view things with different "lenses." We can view the same stats or data and draw different conclusions. I do this often, interpreting data to match my thinking. What I saw was year-over-year improvements of the individual players. What I didn't see was consistency. In the WBIT, I saw them...

    Minnesota 2025-2026

    I look at Williams Arena as being an enduring structure. I am sure it was built with a firm foundation and then 'brick-by-brick.' The players, Coach P and her staff are working on building an enduring structure. I know the NCAA tournament is the goal and a national championship as the ultimate...

    What grade would you give the Gophers 2024-2025 season?

    I would give them a B+. They beat Wisconsin twice, won at Illinois, beat Indiana here, took OSU to overtime at OSU, and played Maryland very close. They advanced a level in tournament play and won that tournament.

    Yes, and the Gophers are the only team to hold Merkle scoreless in 22 minutes of play.

    NCAA Tournament 2025

    I recall the post game interview with Staley after they beat Iowa & CC saying if you want to be superstar, South Carolina is not for you.

    Favorite Friday = Who is YOUR favorite Gophers women’s basketball player?

    1. Whalen - she introduced me to the game. 2. McCarville - IMO the greatest performance in a NCAAW tournament. 3. As a collective this current team - love to watch them.

    Minnesota 2025-2026

    Great news! Now let's drag out the players and coach we have thrown under the bus... wipe-off the thread marks, dust them off... and look forward to next season. I know the players will work hard during the summer... let's do our part and promote the Program. Go Gophers!!

    Minnesota 2025-2026

    I hope that this Program will become a perennial top 6 finisher in conference play. And on occasion when the "...moon is in the Seventh House, And Jupiter aligns with Mars..." a top 1-3 team. I believe this team has the potential for a Sweet Sixteen next year... and see above... perhaps an Elite...

    Johnson to Portal

    I agree with your post. I would add that perhaps a player can be overlooked because of a "super star" on their team. Case in point... I watched McKinney play in the 2025 State Tournament... she had a double/double in 2 of 3 games and was two rebounds short of posting a 3rd in the final game...

    If Tori and her advisors surmise the same... maybe portal time... hope Coach P is having team meeting(s) to discuss roles and to determine those willing to accept those roles.

    Minnesota 2025-2026

    I agree... just posing the question. If not Braun, then who? We have six core players, they can't all start.

    Minnesota 2025-2026

    Does the starting lineup remain the same? Maybe Braun comes off the bench... instant offense, less stress on her foot. Will she accept that role?

    I did a little digging… https://mndaily.com/190954/sports/williams-becomes-fifth-player-leave-program-early-past-two-weeks/ From the article… “Coach Pam Borton said Tuesday that a large roster full of players, some with near-equal abilities, made it hard to make everyone happy. Sixteen kids on...
