    Mykel would of started for us this year. She is an excellent defensive player that can switch on pick n rolls. She has never been a scorer, but a great team kid that knows her roll.

    Non-Big Ten Coaching Changes 2021-22

    We need an experienced person on staff, Brunson was a great player, but we need somebody who can navigate youth basketball when it comes to recruiting, to understand a kids upside... coaching is the fun part, if you dont get players coaches look bad.

    ESPN's 2020-21 All America Teams

    I've watched Bueckers and Clark up close for many years now, and I will say Clark did not sneak up on anybody. She was the most dominant NIKE EYBL AAU player two years ago, winning the NIKE national championship playing up, when Bueckers did not play up per her own decision. Clark is a dynamic...

    2021 Off Season

    I suspect her not getting any minutes is a sign there is an underlying deficiency in her game that we would never pick up on. - coachability - Defensive issues - cant interpret concepts it usually is not offensive part of game, because if you can play defense, you will play.

    Jonathan Tsipis out

    They should of had a better season this year, great guy, but the team looks like it quit on him down the stretch and that is a sign that change was needed.

    2021 Off Season

    We did win 8 BIG games with a makeshift lineup every game. If we had Scalia, we didnt have Diva and vice versa, and that put to much pressure on Jazz and Kadi. We will need a frontline 4 or 5 in the portal or a dynamic 3 (Kadi to 4) to go from 8 wins to like 12-13. plus dont underestimate this...

    B1G Game 19: Gophers visit Illinois (3-5-21)

    This team will get better, they have a nice core of about 5-7 players, but there are some huge gaps they have to address; 1. Defense, defense - this is really about foot speed in the front line. Kadi is a great start, but Klarke has to improve defensively, get stronger. 2. The offensive game...

    B1G Game 19: Gophers visit Illinois (3-5-21)

    Cummings gave us some much needed points, but defensively she has given up 20

    B1G Game 17: Gophers Host Nebraska (2-24-21)

    I'm not sure how Nebraska is as good as they are because you are right, they dont create turnovers.

    B1G Game 17: Gophers Host Nebraska (2-24-21)

    Keep in mind, we rely on Scalia for points, if we have her chase Haiby around the whole game it would impact her conditioning on the offensive end. At the end, it looked like Coach Whalen wanted Scalia's experience on Haiby - keep in mind they are only 1 year apart in MN, both played at North...

    B1G Game 17: Gophers Host Nebraska (2-24-21)

    If you don't think Smith is a good defender, then you really don't know basketball, which is fine... If you have an issue with tall guards shooting over her, then you have an issue with all our guards, which is fine too.... This is a team game, and everybody has a role.. Smith's role is to...

    B1G Game 17: Gophers Host Nebraska (2-24-21)

    Defense, physical, big strong kid. Not a scorer and probably never will be, but kids that can play D always have a spot.

    B1G Game 17: Gophers Host Nebraska (2-24-21)

    If my memory is right, there are only two games we had our full squad and healthy, Nebraska and Penn St. and we won both (and then beat Purdue w/o Diva) Other then that we have not had our full lineup and when your replacing a senior with a Freshman that is tough to overcome, hence our 2nd half...

    B1G Game 16: Gophers Maryland (2-20-21)

    she was more assertive today, she can be special, just needs to play play play ... the game is still to fast for her right now, but that will come.

    B1G Game 16: Gophers Maryland (2-20-21)

    Strande can be a nice player, maybe even play Diva's 3 position down the road or even this year, I'm not sure if Diva will be back for her 7th year :0. Strande will need to figure out the defensive game though, even if her foot speed isnt there today, she can get better with angles and using...
