I still think the firing was a premature overreaction to the godawful first 3/4 of the Penn State game in the tournament. That looked like a team whose coach deserved to be canned, until things started looking a lot -- but not enough -- better. I, too, think Whalen deserved more than a year with...

This certainly recasts that press conference where she was supposedly going to speak at, then turned around in the elevator or whatever.

That tactic sounds familiar. Does OSU have an assistant coach vacancy?

She was at a small school that lost a lot, which could be a factor. And she started late. Still, a promising project and it's not like the Gophers need her to start from Day One.

Not to belabor it (which I guess I am) but what happens in the moment is what happens in the moment. Clark's subsequent, considered comments have been thoughtful and appropriate. Reese's have not.

To be fair, they were even more outrebounded by South Carolina. LSU just shot the ball incredibly.

Couldn't even stand to watch the game. I accidentally taped the annoying Diana/Sue-talk-over-it version and, by the time I watched, it was too late to get the regular version.

Not saying B was as good at all

...as was Caroline Strande.

Just rewatched the MN/Duke elite eight game. It suggests what Whalen -- who was brilliant but also took wild shots, made too-flashy passes and over-penetrated -- saw in Borowicz.

Think of it like voting for president. There's always a less-terrible choice.

I've definitely watched my recording of it more than any other game. (My screen name here could also have been Alanna Beard's Tears, but that seems much too mean.)

The five posts before yours all say that.

Not advocating that the Gophers absorb her energy but VT's Ashley Owusu seems like she'll be available. Again. She could not look less engaged as she rides the bench.

I wonder how much it factored into OSU's impressive intensity that Juhasz left the Buckeyes so she could play for a national championship?

No Sheldon here but - much as this surprises me to type - the Gophers handled the Buckeye press better than UConn.

Is it even an upset anymore when FGCU knocks off higher seeds? Smesko must love Fort Myers. He is so good and must get lots of offers.

Love to see a Fennelly team struggling against a lower seed...

I was a big fan of Braker when she played for the Irish

You think Hottinger is a B1G center?
