    BIG Game 16: Gophers host Ohio State, Feb 18th

    This is why I can't understand why people get so worked up about the snap shot of a season (one way or the other). It's like watching a :60 movie trailer and trying to convince me that you know the entire plot, subplot, all the character personalities and the ending based on that. Seems to me...

    BIG Game 16: Gophers host Ohio State, Feb 18th

    I have a friend who coaches a D-2 womens team. His philosophy almost every year from Nov. through about the final 2 weeks of the season is "We are a work in progress!". We probably won't be the same team in Jan, that we are in Dec. Won't be the same team in Feb. that we are in Jan. He...

    BIG Game 16: Gophers host Ohio State, Feb 18th

    We handle the #10 in the country and that's the big question? Tonga barely played either. Coach went with her best line-up, the hot hands and the players she trusts the most. It's as simple as that.

    BIG Game 16: Gophers host Ohio State, Feb 18th

    I think we saw the potential of this team in the 2nd half. Good defensive effort, forcing their best scorer into an inefficient night and pretty much shutting off everybody else. Took care of the ball, great rebounding and a big night from 3-point line. Pretty cool to get a big win over a...

    BIG Game 16: Gophers host Ohio State, Feb 18th

    Battle just did a great job of staying out of that double-team near the time line off the hedge by the Ohio State big. Then finding Braun, who makes a very big 3.

    BIG Game 16: Gophers host Ohio State, Feb 18th

    5-7 from 3 in the 2nd half certainly helps. It's also starting to look more and more like a 1-man show for Ohio State's offense and we're playing pretty solid D and forcing some challenged shots.

    On the official Ohio State team page, each of their Bio's mention their siblings. All different siblings and no mention that they are related or sisters. Please pass along the link that you are seeing that indicates that they are sisters. Thanks. BTW, this reply is directed at the person...

    BIG Game 16: Gophers host Ohio State, Feb 18th

    Looking at the Points off Turnovers during this time-out. It's 16-3 Gophers. I think a lot of us were concerned it might be reversed.

    Buckeyes go to zone, GG gets 2 wide open 3's.

    BIG Game 16: Gophers host Ohio State, Feb 18th

    First 3+ minutes in the 2nd half, Gophers have held Buckeyes to just 2 shots. Braun with great defensive box out, then a tough rebound and a nice 3. Hart teaming up with Tori for a great double-team on the sideline that results in a turnover and that GG pass inside to Tori for the lay-up was a...

    BIG Game 16: Gophers host Ohio State, Feb 18th

    So what adjustments do you think Ohio State makes to increase the pace of the game? I like where Minnesota is right now, considering all the missed easy shots. Be interesting to see if the Gophers can keep the pace of the game where it is, but start making those bunnies. Ohio State's height...

    BIG Game 16: Gophers host Ohio State, Feb 18th

    Neither of their official team Bio's mentions the other as a sibling, but does mention that Kennedy has a sister playing for Vanderbilt and two brothers playing at ASU. Jaloni's Bio mentions 2 older brothers playing hoops, but no mention of Kennedy. Possibly related but not sisters? Maybe...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT OREGON IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    "They're not winning this. Oregon adjusted. We didn't. Worst loss of the season." This definitive prediction came with 13:09 left to play in the game. Obviously not enough time for a team to make any adjustments that could change the direction of the game. Thank God Niko didn't just pull his...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT OREGON IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    From what I saw, the same amount as Oregon missed. I think they missed 3 run-outs right at the rim. Whew!!

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT OREGON IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I'm currently in the mountain time zone, so I might make it. So, while both offenses have been pretty bad, you gotta give credit to holding a home team to under 20 in 20 minutes on their home floor. I think somebody once said, " While offense can come and go, your defense should always be...

    BIG Game 15: Gophers @ Badgers, Feb 15th!

    So when the other team is focusing their defense to stop your best shooter from getting a shoot, you want to force the offense in her direction and make her try and take bad shots? I've seen teams do that and watch their best shooter score an inefficient 22 and lose because they tried to force...

    BIG Game 15: Gophers @ Badgers, Feb 15th!

    I've been very impressed with her overall game this year. When she gets it going, she's a load on both sides of the ball. Yeah, she has her bad moments or games, but pretty much every college player in America, even the All-Americans, have had moments or games that had fans frustrated. Things...

    BIG Game 15: Gophers @ Badgers, Feb 15th!

    I think her defense is a work in progress. She's a freshman, so getting all the intricacies to be instinctive has probably been her major hold up. That and when you've got 8 solid players that you already trust, minutes are tough to come by. Guessing that's part of the issue with Holloway as...

    BIG Game 15: Gophers @ Badgers, Feb 15th!

    Another well executed defensive game plan. Cleaned up the turnovers and suddenly the offense looks good again. It's funny that when the offense was suffering from execution and poor shooting issues from everybody but Tori and GG, it was a crap offense. Now, that players are executing it...
