Michigan's Hillman is a terrific player, certainly in the top three for BIG POY honors.

I'm all in on Smith, Katie, and Strande getting some additional PT this year. It's looking like this team is going to be a guard-oriented team going forward, at least until they can recruit some bigs, so it would be nice to know going into next year who will be able to contribute and how. I...

Really like Scalia's game when she goes to the hoop sometimes. I think that opens up some threes for her. Gopher going to have a nice group of guards as these young guards get more experience. Jazz, Smith, Scalia, Katie...

Czinano with 34 points for Iowa in the Hawkeyes loss to Northwestern today. 17 of 19 from the field with 11 boards. Wow.

3-game win streak. Almost reminiscent of the game the Gophers gave away to Maryland in the last minute a couple years ago. Obviously a great game for Scalia. I thought Smith played well in Hubbard's absence. Good chance for her to get some heavy minutes. Mershon brings a lot of...

Not a bad first half. Interesting to note that 18 players played. 10 for the Boilers; 8 for the Gophers. Now, can the Gophers hold their own in the third quarter? Maybe someone needs to tell Lindsey to tweak her halftime messages. (joke)

McGloughlin for Purdue in a boot. Maybe that will offset the unavailability of Hubbard.

With Hubbard out and Powell with 2 quick fouls, Smith and Katie are sure to get some valuable PT today.

Even though the Boilers should probably be favored, I think this is a winnable game.

Team continues to improve...baby steps, not leaps. I liked what Scalia did offensively, getting her share of threes but going to the hoop sometimes also. Solid game for Powell despite early foul trouble. Yes, some great hustle plays by Mershon and LBK. Not much from Sconiers today, due to foul...

I'm wondering how much a conference has to do with whether a team is allowed to call it quits or not. I am sure this has been a trying year for players and coaches, but I'm wondering how the BIG would look upon a team calling it quits. Would that school then lose some BTN revenue? That may...

Powell has played a lot better the past two games after her "return" the the PG position. I agree with the thought that she sometimes gets a bit flat-footed on D. And Frink is right, she does rebound well for her size. Other random thoughts...ball movement getting better. Defense also...

A loss is a loss, but some encouraging signs against a good Maryland team. Powell had a solid game and kept her turnovers down, back playing the point. Sconiers looks like she is getting better. Smith shows some potential. And who is that high school kid? Just teasing. Katie was terrific...

I think the Gophers will eventually be able to cut down on the turnovers, especially if they end up with a 4-guard lineup. Defense, I'm not so sure. This team has been woefully bad on defense and it's going to take a lot of work to even get to average on that. Belz is right in saying that...

Good points. It should also be pointed out that some players end up in junior colleges for academic reasons. One thing I generally don't like about JC transfers is that teams usually only get a couple years out of them and that doesn't leave much time for development. Plus, they're not...

Maybe I'm too optimistic, but I think this team will get a lot better as the year progresses, if they can get enough players healthy to practice together regularly. The defense has been dreadful and you can't win games when you're turning it over at the rate the Gophers are, but there's some...

Really looking like teams are going to have to remain flexible all season in regards to when they will play their games. Admittedly, that will be a lot easier as the universities won't have to concern themselves with fans attending games. Nevertheless, it's going to be interesting. I'm a bit...

Generally not a fan of JC transfers. That being said, I thought there was a chance that she might be able to defend at the DI level. Kent Youngblood speculated that this may have been about playing time. If that's the case, then her departure is probably understandable; if that's the case...

No surprise that some similar stuff happened when she was here. I'm hoping that the U can put some systems in place to prevent this kind of treatment for athletes of any sport in the future. I'm guessing that an AD might attend practices only a handful of times during a season so it might not...

I'm guessing that Stollings will try to get some kind of settlement out of TT. The result of that may well be decided on the way the contract is written and the interpretation of the language. USA Today had a followup op-ed today which espoused that the TT AD should also be fired. I'm...
