This game will be exciting. Two elite, potential Sweet 16 teams go at it. Teri Moren for Indiana won Big Ten Coach of the Year. Indiana is ranked #2 in the nation. Ohio State uses scheming to play better than they are and could upset Indiana -- even in a spectacular way. And this will be...

A brief quote from the Star Tribune: Murphy atoned in a big way for her mistake [penalty], giving her team the lead for good on a third-period power play as the Gophers defeated Wisconsin 4-2 in front of 2,334 at Ridder Arena. Catie Skaja's empty-net goal with 1 minute, 19 seconds to play...

Star Tribune Reporting: Four of the potential candidates to replace Lindsay Whalen as Gophers women's basketball coach Marquette's Megan Duffy and Illinois State's Kristen Gillespie are among the possibilities for Gophers athletic director Mark Coyle. By Kent Youngblood Star Tribune MARCH 3...

Meanwhile in the ECAC (the other conference nearly on par with the WCHA) these elite players won season-end awards. Minnesota may face some of them in the upcoming NCAA Frozen Four tournament...

Gophers win! Tough game today against a strong Wisconsin team but they got it done. Some outstanding saves by goaltender Skylar Vetter. Gophers win 4-2 including an empty net goal. Tomorrow afternoon in Minneapolis is the championship game against Ohio State...

Thanks Whalen or similar. I do think we have multiple Whalen accounts here. I am sure her financial advisors would have liked an extension. Whalen needs to be fixed a second time. Nobody paid attention to her Hall of Fame stuff. Attendance was down. hdon't be duped by these new accounts...

Tied 2-2 after the second period. Meanwhile on the East Coast, #9 Clarkson upsets #2 Yale in the ECAC tournament after double overtime.

And it was. Wisconsin ties it up.

Wisconsin with intense sustained offense. Now Wisconsin power play. Could be ugly.

Defense breakdown. Handed it to Badger side behind net who walked around free to the goal and shot it in. Tied 1-1.

Gophers outplayed Wisconsin. Pesky Wisconsin is so good at placing good shots and a risk even when outplayed. Shots on goal 12 for Minneaota and several more close. Shots on goal for Wisconsin 7.

Phenomenal goaltending by Minnesota's Vetter. Several tough shots. One shot on a power play I thought went in because it was so well.placed to upper corner but she got a stick on it.

Minnesota freshman Madison Kaiser with a goal to take the lead. Gophers outplaying Wisconsin.

Ohio State just beat UMD 2-1 in the first game of the WCHA Final Faceoff tournament. The winner of the Minneaota-Wisconsin game tonight plays Ohio State tomorrow in the championship game.

From the original article: Janel McCarville (Stevens Point High School asst.) Stevens Point High School asst. (since 2022) Janelle McCarville is one of my all-time favorites! Great games at Minnesota. Record for most rebounds in an NCAA tournament. Was the #1 overall pick in the WNBA draft...

Coach Karen Blair, Assistant to Brenda Frese at Maryland. Lots of video of her recruiting top players and players tagging her on tweets.

Some people are saying that coach Tammi Reiss at Rhode Island and AD Mark Coyle's paths crossed at Syracuse and she could be a quick hire. Reiss was just named Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year for the second time in three years. (I think the back to back comment is incorrect. It's 2 in 3.)

I see that two of Megan Duffy's seniors made All Big East First Team honors. Jordan King is a 5' 11" guard. I wonder if she/they has/have a year of eligibility and interest to play in Minnesota. Minnesota could use a veteran wing/shooting guard to replace Gradwell and generally play opposite...
