And AZB also had 22 rebounds in a 2015 NCAA playoff game, not mentioned here since they restricted it to Big-Ten games.

(Edit: For Creme’s Tuesday update to get in synch with committee reveal. Nebraska goes from in to out.) As of 2/3/2020, with 7 games left in our Big-Ten season, here’s the Big-Ten Conference ranking and games back (with overall record acting as tie breaker). Team (AP Rank) Conf (GB) Creme Rank...

Partially answered my own question from the Recap. With this game, Taiye takes 2nd place all time in free throws attempted. And ties for 2nd place all time in free throws made. But still don’t know who’s first in either. Wasn’t Banham’s 60-point game as she only had 2 FT in that one. Her 22...

No, just T-ed up. I heard the rumor, might have been a second elbow to her head as well, but I didn’t see it.

Interesting: Combined stats of T. and K. Bello ... Minutes: 67 Points: 24 Rebounds: 26 Blocks: 6 Steals: 2 Assists: 3 Fouls: 4 (and neither had any fouls at half-time) And we won’t talk about turnovers since the whole team was bad in that department.

Breathe a sigh of relief, as Diva breaks out of her mini-slump, shooting .500 including 5-9 from deep. Also, her defense on Guirantes was quite good. Held her to .278 shooting. Powell and Scalia shooting 1-7 from deep was a little scary, especially with no option to sub in Brunson in second half.

Ouch! Scary thought.

And T. Bello with 15 made free throws. Not sure what the per-game record is, but guessing Banham holds it - perhaps in that 60 point NW game. Powell a perfect 10 of 10 from the line.

Nice hint, @Shades! Hope that unbeknownst to us, Pitts and Whalen are working on some kind of truce deal, with sentence being games missed. Anyway, really great to have her there! And for her to get to see her mates do battle with the dragon, and end up slaying the dragon in 2OT.

Yeah, good point. NW was more like coach’s anger’s choice, so to speak. We don’t get to rewind the clock and try it a different way, so we’ll never know whether putting Pitts in late 4Q would have won the NW game. Just like we’ll never know a lot of stuff that transpired circa that game.

> @LesBolstad: Haha ... Well, in spite of @LesBolstad (and perhaps others) saying haha, I suspect they didn’t get the joke. In the interest of brevity, I had phrased the last paragraph of my last post in the form of a conditional expression, but incorporating a joke. Not a funny-ha-ha joke (as...

I think it’s correct (not only a correct conclusion, but arguably the correct choice by Whalen) that in the 4th quarter Whalen valued defense over offense. The 4th started out with the starters until Masha was subbed in (for defense) at 7:23, and they stuck with that lineup for the rest of the...

Yup. I think we see double point guards for much of the rest of the season. 35 points from the two point guards tonight, in a total of 75 combined minutes (e.g., one or the other Jasmines were on the bench for a total of only 5 minutes). Or to put it another way, during the 35 minutes that...

Free Day Gophers, show your id for a free T-shirt. Huskers, show your id for free undefended points.

With the volleyball team feeling real good about being honored at halftime, perhaps we could persuade some of the taller players to play two sports (e.g., basketball and volleyball). Maybe some graduating seniors have a light class load and are bored. Although only 6’0”, both Lexi Hart and...

As of 1/29/2020, about half-way through the Big-Ten season, Charlie Creme’s implied 1-64 based ranking from his four-section bracketology is listed along-side Big-Ten teams in order of Games Back (with overall record acting as tie breaker). Team (ESPN Rank) Conf (GB) Creme Rank Iowa (#18) 8-1...

Thanks, everyone, for helping explain what a “system” might be. I think you’re onto something by saying that it might be most accurately reflected in the Whay a coach recruits. And that definitely means we can’t really know what Lindsay’s recruiting style is yet, since she’s only gone through...
