I do not mind the BTN announcers at all, especially after listening to Summit League announcers for five years. While some of them were very good indeed, some of them were so uneducated and homer-ish, very annoying to listen to. Appreciate what we have, because you don’t know how bad it could be.

Early in the season, I was not very impressed with Tonga. Especially her footwork, but also her follow-through. However, as the season has progressed, I am really appreciating her game. You can tell that they have been coaching her up. This staff is very good at developing post players, and I’m...

It showed some Fox station that it’s on, but it was so small, we could not see it. And I have an 80” TV……

Players have a lot of reasons for choosing one school over another, and a lot of girls do not want to stay home. They want to go somewhere new and exciting. They have done some travel for AAU, and have seen some things, and want to experience more of that. I think that we need to focus on...

Taylor was at the end of the bench when were at the Maryland game. I only know that because people around us were saying hi to her.

Alabama just beat Harvard 80-60, so the Gophers will play the Crimson Tide on Wednesday. Harvard was ahead at halftime, but Alabama came back strong in the second half.

Case in point, on that last possession, Sophie was jousting for about seven seconds before they finally threw to her.

Because she’s in there waiting for it and they don’t see her right away. If they would get the ball in to her in a timely manner, she would be able to shoot.

Flosports is the absolute worst streaming service that I have ever seen. Fortunately, you can sign up and then cancel right away. We had to do this a few times when our daughter was playing, and we were not able to go for whatever reason, but the coverage is not worth the price. They struggle...

I don’t know why you don’t think they have any offense. You can draw up plays, but if the screen isn’t set correctly, or the defense reads it, you have to be able to switch. Which is the whole point of motion offense. Plus, it is a two point game with one minute left, on the road for the first...

Given that every player that Coach P and her staff recruited is special in their own way, I believe they will all contribute to the team chemistry and dynamics. Who sees the floor first / most depends on the health and development of the players that we have returning, but it is at least a year...

Marquette is dealing with some key injuries, but they were picked to finish second in the Big East, behind UConn.

I have not watched the replay of that play, but watching it live in the barn, a few fans around us were complaining. My husband and I both agreed that it was not a dirty play - frustration yes, but dirty, no. Just somebody who got her pocket picked and was trying not to let the Gophers get an...

I think Glenn did better in the second game, but in both games, I noticed that she has a tendency to drive into triple coverage. She needs to look out and find the open person just a little bit more. Hopefully that will come, because she does appear to be a good shooter and good on defense.

Marquette was picked to finish second in the big east, behind UConn….

Her Mom mentioned something about a procedure to reduce fluids on her knee.

Tommies volleyball picked up a player from Rogers High School, Anya Schmidt, who could have gone to a much bigger program. As a freshman she is putting up amazing numbers. Along with a few other very good players, I think they are going to make that a very strong program to contend with.

St. Thomas Head Coach Ruth Sinn is a good tactical coach and a great person, and I could see Coach P agreeing to play them in the not too distant future. Since becoming a D1 program a few years ago, she has taken great strides with her team. In addition, the lead assistant at St. Thomas is a...

Walker Demers was actually recruited to the University of South Dakota by Dawn Plutzuweit. At Coach P’s request, she re-classified and graduated a year early, to join the Coyotes in 2022-23. However, after the Coyotes Sweet 16 run in 2022, Coach P had left to go to WVU, and Walker only stayed...

I have followed players and rankings, and resulting college performance, for many years. Both as a Gopher fan and as a parent of a D1 player. In my experience, there are so many many many players who were ranked highly in high school, but do not perform up to their ranking while playing in...
