So Whalen has two of the top three most lopsided losses in program history. Yikes.

Better hope the recruits are as good as advertised because there isn't much to like otherwise with Gopher women's hoops.

Not a good team. In any way. Period.

Bummer they didn't win (and that I didn't get a chance to watch any of it :confused:), but am impressed they pushed the Spartans to the brink. Good sign considering the first meeting between the two teams.

Looks like she's legit. Led the Buckeyes in blocks and hit .327 from the middle a year ago. Only 5-11, but from her numbers, I think we can assume she's pretty springy. Maybe similar to Taylor Morgan?? I would take that in a heartbeat. Anxious to see what she can add.

Doesn't matter one iota for this team. They need to focus on what they have, not on who left and how tough it is without those in the olympics or the guy who bailed midseason. It's not like they are/were setting the world on fire anyway. Now's the time to show some toughness, move on and show...

The fact is almost all these kids have huge egos and loving having them stroked. Who could blame them? They get treated as if they're god's gift by society simply because they're a high level athlete. If Quinn (and/or his family) fell into that trap with the whole KARE 11 Shaver program, it's...

Honestly, I'm not sure why he's referring to the Gophers as "we." He's no longer part of the team. It's now "they" or "them." He made an "I" decision and is still talking about "we." The new "we" is the Carolina Hurricanes and whatever minor league team he plays for. As for the rest of the...

Always nice when a team captain and "leader" bails midseason. But with the way these kids perform on a regular basis, I'd guess this kind of thing is par for the course.

Business-like showing tonight. Nothing flashy or fancy, just effective. But that's all they needed. With that said, the final score wasn't really indicative of how in control the guys really were.

Obviously, she wants to win. That's not in question. The question is whether she has what it takes to win as a coach. Right now, the answer to that question isn't a definite yes. Coyle won't fire her unless it becomes a total dumpster fire, but as of now. It doesn't look good.

Their identity at the moment is not being a good team. That's what they've been since Coyle hired Whalen. Whether she has the chops to turn it around remains the question.

I've been informed it's too mean and negative to comment on Whalen as a coach. But, yeah, things aren't great.

Could be. I don't know the details of Washington's time at the U.

Pitino's tenure could be summed up this way: -Good dude, self deprecating and seemingly always had a smile when dealing with the media and the public. -But was also a poor coach who was in over his head at a power five school. With that said, I don't wish him ill at New Mexico. I'm just not...

Agree, although just about anybody with any knowledge of the NCAA and their past hypocrisy in this area could have predicted how this would go. It's just comical to see high profile coaches now complaining about how dirty the sport is.

For God's sake, quit acting like this hasn't been the case in big time athletics for decades. This is and has been reality in college football and basketball since virtually the beginning. It's frankly hilarious that a guy like Dabo Swinney is all outraged at how dirty college football is. Quick...

The ballhandling was really, really good tonight. Only committed three turnovers with 17 assists to boot. Just not enough size and/or shooting from long range to complete a comeback. With that said, I really liked that the guys competed hard to the very end. Way too many times in the past...

I like the way they're competing. Just outgunned. And that last no call was absolutely atrocious. Inexcusable for Division I level refs to miss that total hack.

I did answer your question, you just missed it. She still has a chance to become a good coach. And just to be clear, I don't answer to you. Like I said, the proof is in the pudding. Hopefully, both she and the program will turn a corner sometime soon.
