    BIG Game 6: Gophers travel to Washington 1-18-26

    When did the three point line move back? I’ve said it before, when the line moved it requires more strength for that extra distance. Form suffers and thus made percentages if you aren’t strong enough to maintain your form. Caitlin Clark excels because she was shooting from way downtown before...

    BIG Game 6: Gophers travel to Washington 1-18-26

    They have no shooters except GG. Both Braun and Battle you can leave alone at the 3 point line. They will not hurt you at this point. They are not athletic enough to beat good teams off the dribble on a consistent basis. Teams that are athletic are a very difficult matchup for them. You...

    BIG Game 6: Gophers travel to Washington 1-18-26

    Early in the season she was making a lot of floaters in the lane but against better competition she hasn’t really had those same opportunities. I’m not sure she ever was that good of an outside shooter but I honestly haven’t looked up her previous stats.

    BIG Game 6: Gophers travel to Washington 1-18-26

    Sorry but the defense sucked today! Too many turnovers and too many bricked mid range jumpers. Team struggles mightily with teams that are more athletic. Recruiting needs to improve, need better athletes.

    BIG Game 6: Gophers travel to Washington 1-18-26

    Defense was horrendous that quarter. Double off a screen and no one helps and the screener gets an easy layup. Laying bricks at the other end and really bad turnovers and what you get is a 12 point lead for Washington.

    Before that they need some on ball defense. Too easy getting in the lane off the dribble is causing all sorts of problems.

    Get an effin’ defensive board. No reason for that opportunity.

    Gophers' Selection Sunday "Magic Number" Is 21

    Nope shoot for the big prize, everything else just comes along if you don’t get the best one.

    B1G Game 5: Gophers host Southern Cal 1-11-26

    Just as long as you keep in mind that their best player is out for the year with a blown knee. I suspect they would be much tougher game with her in the lineup.

    He has one game of a college lifetime and it’s against us. Fuck him, I’ll bet good money he never looks that good again the rest of the year.

    Unlikely as the only one to not be ruled out for the year might be soon as it sounds like he won’t be ready anytime soon.

    Might be a case of follow the money. That women’s program has a fair amount of famous alumni that have done pretty well for themselves.

    B1G Game 5: Gophers host Southern Cal 1-11-26

    Related to this is that the 3 pt line has moved since she started at Minnesota. The new distance means you have to be stronger to maintain your form and I wonder if this hasn’t affected her.

    B1G Game 5: Gophers host Southern Cal 1-11-26

    I’ve sat here all year and listened about how she needs to find her game. We are now 15 or so games in and her shot is still AWOL. I could care less who takes the shots as long as a W follows. She is contributing in other ways.
