tremendous quickness in the help side? Parrish, Garzon and Holmes are quick? I think it is called team defense and it is taught to 5 individuals that need to act as 1.

Powell had tremendous potential, she wasn't coached up. TN was probably the worst spot she could go to just because of all the diva transfers coming in, that rarely turns into success especially when those players had issues at other schools. Powell got off to a good start at Tn, not sure what...

Hilliard was elite her first couple years and now you barely notice her.. I'm guessing injuries have slowed her. Maybe even more surprising is Ellew, who had 29 points in her first ever game and since then now barely plays. They just dont have the footspeed to stop power 5 players.

Scheduling these types of teams is good for the young kids, as a team MN isn't to far off. I think the next iteration is when they are expected to win BIG games. There are still some issues that I dont see progress - for example if the ball goes into Rose it isn't coming out. she has so much...

I'm not sure these big+ announcers know anything about basketball. Kentucky is sloppy..

you absolutely add her..

I think some of these kids get bad guidance. Hart was recruited by MN but for some reason she was enamored with NC State, maybe it was there lofty status.. You have to really understand your skill set compared to the team and conference your going to. I think MN would be in the running but not...

I agree, terrible decision to bus the day of.. This time of year you can get caught in blizzard or ice storm driving to ND or SD. Feels like a HS move.

Ignatius hoops reports very fair like he sees it, adds a lot of good content.. Watching the game, here is where I am. - The Braun injury(I'm guessing) is a function of a training staff that over-does everything. I blame this loss on a training staff that over thinks their job. maybe I'm wrong...

I like your optimism, but probably need to wait to better competition, which exposes weaknesses.

Sissoko plays 40 minutes and scores 19 last night, Scalia doing her thing, Powell under control with a double double.. you can say this is year 1 for gophers again, the schedule is soft, so we will enjoy some early wins ..

Up front meaning forwards and centers. Sorry an old basketball term.. We thought Oberg would give us minutes, doesn't look like that is going to happen, so its Rose and then very limited..

That was a fun game to watch and a nice win for a young team - they have enough talent to win against some of these mid major to lower teams. Braun certainly is a nice player, but up front there really isn't anything. Rose can look good at times(she should of scored every time down low) and...

St. Thomas will be on the schedule a lot in future years, and it makes sense to not play them now.. You can lose to Lehigh, you CANT lose to St. Thomas- for MN, this is the second year now that there is another D1 team to recruit against, so avoid them until you can get your power 5 program in...

"Sara has fully embraced the challenges our coaches have given her on the defensive side of the ball," Holmes said. looks like 3 steals in 15 minutes last night. I'm telling you folks, these are still young kids - this game isn't about individuals, its about execution of a defensive game plan...

she is worth millions at UCONN... wnba is a step down.

Steals are rarely on the ball 1 on 1 steal, they are more likely to come from a great defensive team scheme. Before we get to excited, don't lose sight we gave up 60 points to River falls team that will be below .500 in division 3. Chico gopher was spot on with his analysis. Lets face it...

Powell is very talented, and many didn't like her game, but she will be coached up at TN and will thrive.

Braun is interesting, she clearly is the most polished of the 4 freshman, but has gotten very little press to date.

How did the closed scrimmage go? anybody get any insight.. We havent had a good record in these closed scrimmages over the years.
