    B1G tourney game 1: Gophers versus Washington (3-5-25)

    Only 5 total fouls. Should give us latitude to start out aggressive on defense in the 2nd half. With the exception of Battle, who will need to avoid early fouls.

    B1G tourney game 1: Gophers versus Washington (3-5-25)

    Need better shooting than 29%.

    2025-2026 season starters

    Given how well she's played as a freshman this year, it won't take much more development until McKinney is a star. Tough to see her coming off the bench next year. Regardless it is a good problem to have. Teams that win those close, hard fought games have players who come off the bench and...

    McKenna Johnson's Playing Time

    I would bet a lot money that this was the case. Subbed based on positional needs.

    B1G Game 16: Gophers visit Purdue (2-19-25)

    It seems like female athletes tend to recover slower from major surgeries like an ACL tear. It looked like Holloway got her athleticism back this season after a cautious one last year (first year after surgery). Woodson will probably show similar rust and caution next season.

    Does she play on an AAU team?

    B1G Game 12: Gophers host Iowa (2-6-25)

    Sophie has basically one shot. A center pivot (rotating to her left) baby hook. She has nice footwork on that shot and executes it well... if she's 4' from the rim or closer. Opposing bigs that force her even a foot or two farther out and those shots have literally been airballs. To be truly...

    Hart please stop the airballs from 3ft away.

    B1G Game 12: Gophers host Iowa (2-6-25)

    Only down by 6 going into the 4th. Nice open door for us. Just keep that defense up and make those shots at the rim and we can do this. No airballs in the 4th!!

    B1G Game 12: Gophers host Iowa (2-6-25)

    We are a true Jekyll and Hyde team. We have so much energy, heart and focus on defense. But our offense flat out sucks. No other way to put it. We'll have 4 stops in a row... and then get 0 ourselves over that stretch and on Iowa's next possesion will hit a 3 and we've fallen farther behind...

    B1G Game 12: Gophers host Iowa (2-6-25)

    This is much more likely (which is good for our Gophs). As long as you hydrate and get 5-6 hours of sleep it should only take 1 day per hour of time difference to adjust to a new time zone. So we shouldn't be jet lagged at all by Thursday. And it's only a trap if Iowa believes they're the...

    B1G Game 11: Gophers visit UCLA (2-2-25)

    Great defensive game plan by Coach P. Taking Betts out of the game so far. We just really need shooters (mid-range and 3 pt) as UCLA is very tough defensively in the paint. Sophie is going to have a tough day.

    Murderer's Row Coming Up

    Maybe one of the CA teams will get the flu bug and we'll steal one. Seems only karmically fair.

    B1G AP Rankings

    Looks bad when we lose at home to Michigan... and they lose by 30 to Michigan State. That loss last Wednesday may come back to haunt our NCAA resume come March. I really hope it was because we had some girls under the weather and once better we steal a game from a good team to make up for it.

    B1G Game 8: Gophers host Michigan (1-22-25)

    Nia definitely helps get stops - but missed 4 layups. She makes 2 of the 4 and we're right in this.

    B1G Game 8: Gophers host Michigan (1-22-25)

    Michigan much more polished and created open shots and made them. We need shooters more than scrappers.

    Bleacher Report Names Battle as One of 10 Most Underrated Players

    Seemed like something clicked when Braun went out last year and she took ownership of the offense. Been a consistent scorer and leader ever since. Love watching young athletes display noticeable growth.

    Mara Braun re-broke the same bone in her right foot, according to head coach Dawn Plitzuweit.

    Wouldn't having Mara back give us better chance at a higher seed and maybe winning a game (or more) in the NCAA tournament? Obviously if there is any risk of her foot not being fully healed it is a moot question.

    B1G Game 7: Gophers visit Northwestern (1-19-25

    It wouldn't frustrate me if I didn't care. But this is Division 1, Big10. If any team at this level lays eggs they're going to take criticism. I'm glad they ended up with a palatable omelette.
