Fun Drill. Still not the same consequence as "If I miss the free throw now, we lose the game!" At least in my mind. Every drill in practice, running, push-ups, longer practice, was just that; practice. We run more because I miss a free throw in practice? At least I didn't lose the game...

If there was ONE secret or ONE specific technique that guaranteed an improvement in free throw shooting for every team and every player, you know that every coach in the world would be teaching and practicing it. Of course, all coaches also know that teaching and practicing something doesn't...

"she had the ball in her hands much more, probing the defense and hitting the mid-range jump shot regularly" I seem to remember that during most of last season, there were a significant number of posters complaining about that exact thing. She dominates the ball, she dribbles too much in an...

Unfortunately, I was only able to follow in Live Stats tonight. However, if indeed, part of the issue was letting cold shooting affect their defense, that may end up being the big lesson for the night.

Didn't expect it to be this lopsided. Sometimes, once you get rolling it's hard to stop. Good win with lots of contributions from almost everybody.

Always thought that GG and Battle have always been pretty good rebounders over the years. They both have a nose for the ball. Couple of really good, long defensive holds in the 9:30 to play area. Seems like they've focused on not letting the stars get theirs, and seem to be having pretty good...

Absolutely, 100%. Bet if you asked them tonight, they would say that after reviewing the tape, it was not a result of contact by the other player.

Hate to tell you, but her knee blew out right before there was really any contact from the defender. You could see her right leg collapse a little as soon as she planted it. I stopped the video at the exact moment it gave way and if there was any defensive contact at all at that point, it was...

Thanks for the update. We're not the only team dealing with adversity. It's like life in general, just when you get in "Whoa is Me"mode, you look around and realize that there are people who a running a far rougher road than me. Sorry! I know! We sports fans hate it when perspective...

Part 2 of the great master plan. In addition to making them sign up for every single streaming platform out there, lets make these suckers jump through every possible weird little hoop we can find in their desperate efforts to pay us more money to watch sports. Bwwaaa ha ha ha!

Damm! Was afraid of that when we saw it happen. Can't imagine how frustrating and disappointing that must be for her. I guess all you can do now is get it repaired, rehab and then decide if you want to continue to try and play hoops next year or after, or finish up your degree and move on to...

I think that's the master plan. To get us to sign up and pay for every single streaming plan available on our TV. $$$ Deviously brilliant! :)

Ironically, Woodson would have been one of the players getting most of the floor time in the last 15 minutes of this game to help her work off the rust from missing last season before the tougher part of the schedule starts. Just awful if she ripped up that same knee again. I had hard time...

Oh no Woodson. That didn't look good.. Hopefully just a tweak.

Just looked at the stats. 44% floor. 33% from 3. (one more make and it's 44%, which is elite) The assist to basket ratio is really good. Considering how Manhattan is digging for the ball once it gets inside 12 feet, 5 turnovers at the half is a good number. And the defense has forced 14...

A 20 point first half defensively! One of the players I'm looking at for progress is Holloway. Final couple of minutes of first half I thought she did an excellent job with a hard 2-dribble drive to the baseline, recognized the help defense cutting her off early and stayed in control in...

I see that Manhattan isn't leaving their defensive post on an island when the Gophers make the post entry pass. Their guards are digging down. Hart seems to still be too much for the smaller team. Nice to see more defensive ball-hawking from Battle, Tori and Glenn So far, nice game both ways.

Saw them working on her off the end of the bench a couple of minutes ago. Then saw her back on the bench, flexing her legs a little as if she could go back in if needed. They'll sit her the rest of the game

In addition to being hot from 3, seems she knows where to be defensively and giving really good effort. That's gonna earn her more court time.

Was that Mara Braun I saw limping off the court with about a minute to go in the 3rd?
