    B1G Game 4: Gophers Host Maryland (1-9-22)

    agreed.... this wasn't a fluke, this team has the ability.. I didnt feel we ran that goofy high ball screen every time down, I didnt think Scalia and Winters got stuck in the dreaded corner time after time...

    B1G Game 4: Gophers Host Maryland (1-9-22)

    MN played a solid 40 min, you have to give Maryland credit, every time we made a run, they hit a big 3 when our D was pretty good. They stretched us out, especially Baily and then if they missed they had to much size on the boards. We had 4 starters contribute and that is a great sign. Its...

    BIG Game 3: Gophers Visit Rutgers (1-6-22)

    Our zone didnt look bad and it protected Sissoko until she finally found some confidence. Rutgers game plan / coaching was the worst I have seen in a long time, they didnt even foul at the end.. They were lost offensively against our zone for the most part.. Why would that team not press 40...

    Lindsay (The Legend) Just Not A Good Coach

    Bello sisters were old coach.. LBK, Helgren, Mershon were all stop-gap players that were not a bad get.. Experienced players that could blend in with the younger ones.. they have been around longer due to covid

    Lindsay (The Legend) Just Not A Good Coach

    I do agree mixing in some zone defenses could protect us from foul trouble as long as we work on not getting offensive fouls on picks .. you make good points, we have become to predictable on D with just man to man.

    Lindsay (The Legend) Just Not A Good Coach

    I think we should stop analyzing Coach Whalen, no doubt she is learning on the job, coaching is a different animal then playing. Lets not even discuss how many years this and that, she is going to get a real long leash, many more years unless it falls apart with turmoil..

    Recruiting

    Bingo. Ben Johnson's smartest move of all was bringing in Dave Thorson.. They would not be where they are today without Dave's leadership. Keep in mind many of these players from MN were in awe of what Dave did at DeLasale. When he talks players listen. Ben is the face, Dave is the mastermind...

    Lindsay (The Legend) Just Not A Good Coach

    no need to rehash old wounds, but your assumptions look to be right from what I recall. That was a wasted year of turmoil and emotions

    Lindsay (The Legend) Just Not A Good Coach

    I mentioned this a couple years ago, the Destiny Pitts saga set this program back at least 3-4 years. The reason why is that she was the leader of this team as an upper classman that all the kids respected and she held players accountable. Remember, we were like 11-0 to start that season (easy...

    Game 14: Gophers Visit Drake (12-23-21)

    I feel this team has the talent to be .500 or better in the BIG and I feel there is an upset looming to one of the top 3 teams.. but I also think it may be unrealistic to expect a sweep(even though that should be the expectation) of teams like WI, IL, Penn St, Rutgers. This team cant be above...

    Game 14: Gophers Visit Drake (12-23-21)

    So close your eyes and visualize this.. This is a PG heavy offense, actually looks like a James Harden offense in which then I turn the channel. Looks like last year mens Gopher team, where Marcus Carr got a high ball screen every time and had to make every decision, thats why Gabe Kalscheur...

    Game 14: Gophers Visit Drake (12-23-21)

    Now in the 4th, Smith is our offensive go to player. What a poorly played game by players and coaches

    You shouldnt wish for that... Do you think there is a reason why she isnt guarded out there.

    Game 14: Gophers Visit Drake (12-23-21)

    Why are we so predictable on defense? How mixing in a zone when Kayla and Laura are in.. they cant guard the cuts.. And our offense when stagnant again just standing around.. Sara and Deja should always be one pass away, instead they are two or three passes away buried in the corner.. This...

    B1G Game 2: Gophers Visit Michigan (12-12-21)

    This standing around on offense is contributing to the inconsistent individual offensive play, I'm anticipating the coaches need to make some adjustments there. It looks like whoever makes some early baskets they ride them out while the others watch. That's why some individuals games you will...

    B1G Game 1: Gophers Host Nebraska (12-6-21)

    agree stop ball first.. mis-communication, always stop the ball.. but it happened.. We got some good looks to tie the game up late and they didnt go in.. got to keep fighting, thats all they can do right now.

    B1G Game 1: Gophers Host Nebraska (12-6-21)

    A poor coach is to strong for somebody in their 4th year of coaching ever at any level. The challenge she does have is adapting to todays game, which is a more open style of play in a 3 ball era.. I want to caution that this incoming class is not Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd at least not...

    Game 10: Gophers Host North Carolina (12-1-21)

    How many times is Powell going to shoot to early and give the other team an opportunity to score at the other end?? Coaches need to fix that. That end of the 3rd quarter cost us the momentum heading into the 4th, and we came out flat in the 4th. I bet at the end of quarters, Powell takes 19...
