Anyone else wonder why Braun doesn't drive to the basket more? The best FT shooter in the country should be shooting more of them.

Actually, I think tired trouble hindered Hart. Gophers needed her for more than three or four minutes at a time.

There is some talk she might be prioritizing one sport, which might change her options a lot

It Seems likely, if there's a scholarship. Her volleyball final 4 were NE (leaving), TX (doesn't need her), WA (when Cook was there!) And MN (where Cook is now).

Maryland has been especially surprising to me. Tough schedule, but they've lost games I'd have expected them to win in other years.

Because volleyball is also a fall/winter sport (like football), those athletes can also enroll early and not lose eligibility. Both 2024 volleyball commits join the team in January. But I suspect you are right about the basketball red shirt. It would be asking a lot for her to be ready to play...

Nope. At the time, it was noted that an exception was made for her (my assumption was that Whalen was behind it, as the then-coach). I'm sure if you search, it's in this forum somewhere.

Charlie Creme has the Gophers in the "first four out" https://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/30423107/ncaa-women-bracketology-2024-women-college-basketball-projections

Same!

Even Real-time RPI is believing in the Gophers a bit more. One projected conference loss has shifted to a win (Maryland, I think?) for an 8-10 projected B1G record.

Hence my screen name!

Not watching so I'm not sure if the calls are good, but in the currently-in-OT PSU/OSU game, PSU has been called for twice as many fouls as OSU (two Nittany Lions have already fouled out). And OSU has shot more than twice as many free throws (34-14). Which is helping the come-from-behind...

Oops, sorry. Just realized this shouldn't be in the non-con thread.

Michigan State showing some full-court press, in what looks like it'll be a failed attempt to catch up to Nebraska, ahead by 15 with 4 minutes to go.

If Grocholski can score close to this regularly, the Gophers become a much bigger offensive threat.

Dee Kantner, actually. And does she still live here?

Player of the week stats. Heck, national player of the week stats. After being cold early, she even got her shooting percentage up into good territory..

In OT, Braun finally got that message, too.

6, actually. Long time since I've seen a Gopher team play with that much grit. Love it.
