Whalen may have strong opinions on how a PG should play and maybe some former and current players think that their former coaches know better. However, with the wealth of knowledge and experiences that Whalen and Banham have, some players should be like sponges and soak it up.

They get discombobulated but they don't quit!

I was hoping that Micheaux would get a second team nod. But, there are a lot of good players in the BIG and you are more likely to get a nod if you are on a winning team.

I wish I live close enough to attend. I hope there is a huge turnout and give the Team a home court advantage. The crowd was great for the Purdue game/senior day and I could feel the enthusiasm on BIG+. The crowd helped them finish strongly.

Good win. Great team effort. They dug in at the end and were not going to let it get away. Kudos to University of Minnesota and BIG+ for showing the presentations to the seniors afterwards. It was a tough season and they took a lot of lumps. But, it was good to see how happy the seniors...

They most likely have and are doing weight training, agility drills, and flexibility exercises. That is just part of the equation. These young women are still developing. Some are still growing into their bodies. Some are still developing mentally and emotionally. Everyone develops at a...

I live in Arkansas. Are Gopher athletes doing commercials on TV or in other media? I did read where Gopher athletes are selling T-shirts, etc. Razorback athletes are doing commercials. Many of them are for Sports Medicine for the UA Medical School. I don't know whether they are paid or...

Our young players are up and down and it is difficult for Whalen or us to know who is going to show up and when. Katie: people comment on her turnovers and wild shots. She makes some bad passes but she also makes some passes that no one else can. Her three-point shooting (30.6%) is similar...

They had their chances. In the 4th, they got tight, tried to do too much, and made mistakes. Gradwell had another good game (12 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds, 1 block, 1 steal, and 0 T.O.). She needs more playing time and can help steady the team.

Many people on this thread believe that Whalen is a bad coach and believe that the results are her fault. After today's game, at what point do the players have ownership and responsibility for their poor play?

I would guess that Whalen was trying to keep players fresh because of the demands of the press. I think it is strange that Heyer only played 18 minutes because she is one of their most consistent players. She may have had trouble on defense. Battle played 23 minutes and didn't warrant more...

Disgusting loss. They seemed to be revealing in their last victory. Some players didn't show up. Their energy level was low--it was like they were conserving their energy and effort for the 4th quarter. Unfortunately, they got buried first. The scouting report says stop Micheaux and...

Dramatic game. Everyone played well and contributed. They maintained their composure given the pressure and all the foul calls. Let's build on it.

Hometown is Marietta, Georgia. Went to Univ. of Georgia in 2020-21. Went to Loyola Marymount University last year. Georgia was ranked about 38 in the RPI and lost in the second round of the NCAA to Texas (3-0). LMU was ranked about 49 in the RPI and lost in the first round to Oregon (3-0)...

I agree but. . . .we lost Booth in the volleyball transfer portal to Wisconsin because her father, who played in the NBA, thought of his daughter as a Free Agent more than as a young woman who might have some friendships or ties. She said that she wasn't thinking about transferring until she...

Gophers need to find some momentum.

What does this say about the chemistry of the Gopher women's basketball team?

Whalen was doing a lot of subbing to keep Rose from fouling out. The refs were letting the game be very physical. The way things were going, Rose would have fouled out early in the third quarter. Unfortunately, we do not have strong backups in the post or front court. And, if we don't have...

D-E-F-E-N-S-E. The scouting report says that the Gophers love to skate and score. But, if you can get physical with them and disrupt their offense, you can beat them because they don't get set on defense.

I would also like to see her shoot some three-pointers. She only has 4 all season. If she could hit some three-pointers, it would take some pressure off Rose and other players.
