The super bright side is I cannot find a season this century in which Gopher WBB had zero losses against teams that didn't make the NCAA Tournament (I see two games when Whalen was injured in '04 and one without McCarville at the begging of the 04-05 season) so this could be a first if they can...

It's if they are ranked when you play them so the Gophers' 34-game losing streak against Top-25 teams is still intact. Even 1-14 Penn State has more Top-25 wins in Big Ten play this year than the Gophers do. But Illinois is still only 31 in NET so that means Wisconsin (beating Michigan) and...

Decent teams play on Weakling Wednesday now. Also if the Gophers are the 40-44th best team in NCAA WBB they have been very consistent in that they beat everybody worse than them and lost to everybody sizably better than them. And they beat teams in their same tier or slightly better...

I knew this game was over when I saw Sloane Martin was on the call because at best, I think Gopher WBB have a 2-15 record with her, though I probably am missing a few games but don't want to double-check.

What they used before the Quad system. I was looking here: https://stats.ncaa.org/selection_rankings/season_divisions/18423/nitty_gritties If someone was looking at Warren Nolan, since the subsequent poster brought it up, whatever they used before this season I'm guessing either matched what...

On the NCAA stats page I see these columns now: Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 vs TOP 100 when before they were: NET 1-25 NET 26-50 NET 51-100 NET 101+ vs TOP 100 vs below 150 unless that's not official or I'm looking at the wrong thing.

How was it done before? 1-25, 26-50, 51-100, 101+ with no regard to home/neutral/away? I found 2023 Georgia. NET 33 Their best win was NET 39 Mississippi State (at home). Nobody else they beat made the NCAA Tournament and they got in as a #10 seed (they beat Florida St in the first round and...

The bubble is weak this year so the Gophers just need to beat Washington and a couple more games and they are still probably in.

I assume the Gophers need Braun to have a hot-shooting game with everybody else to have enough firepower to outscore a top-ranked team. In good news, at least as long as the Gophers win at Purdue, this could be the first season in maybe forever they have gone without a bad loss.

Yes. They beat Arizona St at home non-conference Whalen's 2nd season as coach when the Sun Devils were ranked #19 before whatever happened that derailed that season once Big Ten play started. Edit: When is the last time they beat a ranked team on the road? All I could find was 2009 when they...

It still counts as a Quad 1 win at this moment (their only one so far) unless you think the Gophers without those 2 players are frauds and shouldn't be or aren't going to be a NCAA Tournament team. Though Michigan's standards should be higher enough that making beating the Gophers their Super...

Of course technically they moved up one spot due to Oklahoma St dropping a couple spots from their loss to Houston. Oklahoma St getting ranked only to lose a Quad 4 game is proof I shouldn't care who is ranked or not since nobody knows or there is barely any difference between teams after the...

The next two Big Ten Women's Tournaments are back in Indianapolis (then Las Vegas, then Detroit). How convenient for them to have had the games at Target Center for Caitlin Clark and out west for Juju Watkins' senior year (assuming the WNBA doesn't change the rules for her to be able to declare...

It's a tad lazy analysis because the reason Minnesota is ranked by some pollsters ahead of say Michigan and Nebraska as of right now is because those teams had the privilege of getting their losses to USC/UCLA out of the way to go along with their other losses to teams currently ranked higher...

No but this stretch allowed Tori McKinney to prove she is fully capable of being a major contributor right now and therefore should be getting way more than just regular backup minutes (and no reason to be compelled to have to play Braun near 40 minutes every game when she returns).

If Illinois didn't get Braun injured last year they likely lose and might not end up making it to the WBIT (which, off course, they won) so they owe Minnesota.

Ski U Mah Gopher might've just forgotten that different ranges are used for women's basketball compared to men's.

Nobody knows how good Gopher WBB really is yet because the easiest way to prove you are a tournament-caliber team (what is what the expectation is for Gopher WBB should be by now) is by beating other tournament-caliber teams, not beating up on teams that would be lucky to go better than 0-18 in...

I don't know where to find the rules but I believe all conference tournament games only count as one game and postseason games do not count.
