    STrib: Whalen Plans to Rest Gopher Starting Back Court More

    Well, there will be plenty of minutes available today now that Powell got her 3rd foul in just the 1st quarter.

    STrib: Whalen Plans to Rest Gopher Starting Back Court More

    I'll be rooting for the upset, but this game is going to be a tough one. I say it wouldn't be the worst approach to let some younger players get some experience while allowing some starters with mild injuries to recoup - or at least not make the injuries worse. I'd rather have a healthier...

    3rd Quarter Achilles Heel

    I'll put more of the responsibility on the coaches. If we are succeeding in the 1st half our opponents coaches seem to make good adjustments at halftime and our girls look sucker punched until we finally figure out how to adapt in the 4th quarter. But if we're down 15-20 pts going into the...

    B1G Game 10: Gophers Host Purdue (1-28-21)

    Her box score looks good and she definitely contributed this game. I just get frustrated when I see missed layups/tip back opportunities of which she had at least 4. Against better teams those shots will need a higher percentage of success or cost us games. And I'm not referring to shots that...

    B1G Game 10: Gophers Host Purdue (1-28-21)

    Still a good win. 3 in row always builds confidence (they'll need it on Sunday - Iowa is much better than our prior 3 opponents). Scalia showed she can be the go to star, Smith got some nice experience and Sissoku contributed although she still is frustrating to watch with some of her...

    B1G Game 10: Gophers Host Purdue (1-28-21)

    WTF????? Are we feeling sorry for Purdue? 2 straight turnovers for easy layups? F***ing lazy!

    We'd be leading by 15 if Sissoku could finish at the rim more.

    Borowicz is getting the ball to the low post with nice passes -but we can't make the layups...

    B1G Game 9: Gopher Visit Penn State (1-25-21)

    Sconiers had back to back games with double digit scoring prior to the PSU game. So Klarke is starting to find her offense.

    B1G Game 9: Gopher Visit Penn State (1-25-21)

    I think that 22 assists ties our season high (opening game vs Eastern Ill.) This is what they need to strive for. Our biggest blowout we had 8 assists, and lose by 8-12 when we only get 15 assists. We've got talented girls who can hit open shots, we need the ball movement and court awareness...

    B1G Game 9: Gopher Visit Penn State (1-25-21)

    Gutsy 4th quarter to come back to win this one. Loved the better ball movement and short passes to the top of the paint to create opportunities. Hope all the young ones are learning from the heart, hustle and court awareness of Hubbard, Mershon and Katalinich.

    B1G Game 9: Gopher Visit Penn State (1-25-21)

    We're back to the offense where four players standing and watch the player with ball - then jack up a desperate three. Why can't these girls keep moving and cut to the basket. They see other teams do it to us often enough.

    Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb turnovers... and now PSU leads.

    B1G Game 9: Gopher Visit Penn State (1-25-21)

    Uggg. Sissoku needs to finish when she gets to the rim. Letting PSU right back in this.

    B1G Game 8: Gophers Visit Nebraska (1-19-21)

    Not a great game. But a BIG10 road win ought to give them some confidence.

    B1G Game 8: Gophers Visit Nebraska (1-19-21)

    Maybe we could talk to the refs and Neb could just start all of their possessions at the free throw line. Save the time of us fouling literally every time they come down the court.

    B1G Game 8: Gophers Visit Nebraska (1-19-21)

    Have to play aggressive man-to-man. We have the depth to rotate players and keep it up. They're getting too many open 3's with our zone.

    B1G Game 8: Gophers Visit Nebraska (1-19-21)

    Everyone needs to play with the court awareness and energy of Borowicz and Smith. Many seem to jogging around and not making Neb defense work very hard.

    B1G Game 8: Gophers Visit Nebraska (1-19-21)

    She needs to play like a PF - not attempt dribbling so much.

    B1G Game 6: Gophers Host Penn State (1-10-21)

    There may be something to this. Our post defense has been poor for several seasons now. It seems like our bigs arrive with natural ability, but are always slow to develop in our system. Some don't seem ready for BIG play until their senior years. That's on the coaching.
