spot on with comparison to JOJ. They both seemed to lack passion at times times and to move with purpose. They fall in love with the 3 and don't do enough inside given their gifts of length and/or athleticism.

Very well said. If he played with the passion of Fox he could be unstoppable but he rarely played that way. I don't think you can learn that passion.

He is the one I most expected. If you read between the lines, he was out indefinitely around the holidays for "mental health" reasons and then there were rumors he was going to leave but his mom went on twitter and said that was wrong. However, his mom did not say he was happy and imply he was...

Good points, I will also point out that the last ~8 games he was consistently scoring more than earlier in the season. Might have turned a corner.

help with the acronyms please

I don't think this is being fair to Amaya. She is a very good assist creator, she ranks #5 in the B1G. She does dribble a lot but that has been by design, especially as of late. The coach even talked about this earlier in the season that she wanted Amaya to create more of her own shots. I...

This is the quote from the department news about spring practice: "Minnesota also announced that it will not have a public spring game this year. The Gophers last held a traditional Saturday spring game open to the public in 2017. The 2018 game was moved to Thursday, while the 2019, 2022 and...

I have been critical of Battle late in the year for the increase in turnovers prior to the tournament. However, I think she is an outstanding point guard and will be first or second team by the time she finishes which isn't much of a stretch given she was honorable mention this year. Yes she...

If cleared I'm sure she would play, I don't believe they are cleared unless 100%. I have a friend who is a foot surgeon and he says minimum recovery, assuming it is a broken bone, would be about 8-10 weeks. I think this week (Wednesday) was 5 or 6 weeks since surgery. I would guess best...

Ben or Ben's mom should be their biggest donor.

Wells said, if she can develop a confident 3 point shot she will be outstanding. Lack of having point guards and others who can shoot from outside, besides GG and Heyer, was devastating for our ability to generate good scoring chances and loosening up the inside defense.

I'm sorry if I sound so negative but I am befuddled with how we are playing. We look significantly worse than last year and it is so frustrating to watch. The most frustrating piece is their lack of good defense. I believe there is talent on this team and I believe our coach is probably a...

I guess we just disagree on Battle Heyer I never thought of her a swiss army knife unless it was one of the small old ones that had 2 blades. I think Heyer is only good at #1 rebounding, #2 shooting from 3 point range. Nothing else, she doesn't handle the ball, pass, shoot free throws or...

I was with you but lost you on, "There is absolutely no way Battle is a point guard at this level." They have a backup point guard in Klick and Senden showed she can hold her own when needed. I would be happy if they found an additional point guard and post in the off season given how...

D2!? more like a middling High School team. This was unbelievable, never could have imagined this happening even with the recent disasterous on the court displays and lack of defensive intensity.

The way they have been playing Braun will make 0 difference. Don't forget they lost 2 games in a row to Wiscy and Illinois before Braun was injured. They are a complete psychological wreck and they need to hire a new sports psychologist and have DP go on sabbatical so someone else can get them...

couldn't have said it better myself.

Also if you are not hitting 3s at a good percentage when the other team is you need to be hitting high percentage shots in the post be we failed to do that. Part of that is not having Hart and the other part is they didn't seem to try very often.

I disagree, I think our starters were the same or more athletic at every position except for maybe Grace. Their only very athletic players were Clark and their Post but AJ is right there at post and Battle is at least as athletic as Clark but doesn't have the shooting and passing skills or...

Unfortunately Grace is a liability on D
