Thanks for the awesome playlist! I too shared the grief at the loss of the short-lived KJ-104 and REV-105. I think I still have REV-105 stickers on various objects. The (current, pun intended) Current is semi-OK I guess, but doesn’t hold a candle to those “classic” modern rock stations (did I...

Aari attended their Senior Day and got engaged Brunson-style, on camera, although not part of the official program...

The MN Girls Basketball Tournament games from Thursday (on Channel 45) can be rewatched via this page https://kstp.com/minnesota-prep-sports/2020-girls-high-school-basketball-state-tournament-central-kstp-sports-mshsl/5667801/?cat=10564 Wednesday games are at the previously posted url.

Correct, thanks. Fixed.

In Class A, Ellie Dague’s Henning beat Fillmore by 13 points. Dague had 22 points, with help from team-mate guard Megan Weber who had 29 points. This is Henning’s first trip to the state finals, and this article...

You’re definitely right, that AAU is definitely the place to track basketball development and maturity and suitableness for a Power 5 program. And thus the place college coaches should focus. There you can see them working with/against their peers, skill-wise. Hopkins might be the only...

Gianna Kneepkens with 26 points and 15 rebounds as Duluth Marshall defeats New London-Spicer 60-56 in a comeback upset win in which Kneepkens figured prominently. Not often you see a guard with 15 rebounds. When she starts outside the 3-point line, she says “OK, I’m a point guard.” When she...

The most popular states that have well-known schools with majors in Marine Biology and Biological Oceanography (the typical name for that major) are Florida, Texas, California, Hawaii, South Carolina, North Carolina, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. It looks like U of Minnesota does not have...

Thank Iggy. Corrected.

Farmington beats Eden Prairie 58-54. Or should I say the referees give Farmington the win (more on that in a moment). Not all that impressed by Hart so far. Of course, Eden Prairie double-teamed her, but she was held scoreless until the second half. She can’t shoot free throws (about 1 for 5, I...

Stillwater beats Park Center by 30 points. Adelia McKenzie good but not a factor against the Stillwater height and rebounding in this game. Park Center looked like Gophers against length. More impressed by Stillwater players. Especially the rebounding of Scalia’s little sister who was...

Haha - looks like an addition mistake - my bad for adding in my head when I should have used Excel or something. I proofed it but didn’t catch it. Well OK, what the heck, let’s shoot for adding 43 points anyway instead of the minimal 33 that we need to get competitive. Another 10 points seems...

I think I agree that Whalen is putting increasing emphasis on recruiting home grown talent. Almost like she’s trying to make up for the Stollings years. From that article on Borowicz it does seem clear that the Gophers want her for her pass-first mentality (even though she can also score by the...

Go see her play (with 4 Gopher offers) tomorrow, Wed, Mar 11, at 10 am at the Barn, y’all. Not sure if they’ll be serving Gatorade.

The number of points due to graduating seniors (808 in all games) represent 26 points per game that we need to replace next season. The latter does not include the (266) points from Pitts and Staples (which is 8.6 points per game when amortized over the 31 games), which we figure has already...

I think Whalen’s positive outlook for next year is generally consistent with what various GHers have posted recently in various threads - looking forward to some incoming shooting power, but a little bit nervous about filling Taiye’s shoes in the post (although there is some height arriving). >...

An interesting, and fairly exhaustive, list of open questions regarding next year’s team (and some wishful thinking regarding this year’s meltdown). > 1. Is there any chance Pitts finishes out her career here, I say yes there is a chance. Just about everybody thinks that’s impossible, so one...

> ... kinda funny both IA and MN were 9-25 from 3 against OSU. Yeah, that is a funny coincidence. Only a bit less coincidental is that IA shot 13-38 from two, whereas MN shot a little worse at 11-37 from two. What killed MN was their +11 extra turnovers and OSU’s +6 extra blocks. What killed...

OSU beats Iowa by 21. OSU beats Minnesota by 21. Perhaps by some alternative logic, that means Minnesota is as good as Iowa? Well, come to think about it, Iowa beat Minnesota by an average of 4.5 points. So I guess we’re almost as good as Iowa, anyway. Too bad “almost” doesn’t count for much...

Very well put. And the seniors will definitely be missed. It seems almost unfair that, hardly a few games after all four have reached personal-best achievements, they have to go. If by some magic rule change we could keep the seniors, as well as the underclasswomen and new recruits plus...
