We are in a Catch-22 with women's basketball and many Gopher sports. The programs are so poor that you can't get impact players to come and you can't get good without impact players. Gopher women's basketball has only had 28 winning seasons in 50 years and no conference titles, and only 10...

Another disappointing loss. They played hard and fought hard. Heyer was fouled on the rebound at the end of the game but the refs did not want to have a game decided by free throws with tenths of a second left. Heyer was amazing. She is an outstanding all-around player. Braun started out...

Defense can create offense.

Great hockey game. Gophers had lots of chances. Good offense and passing. Need to play more consistent defense. Anything can happen in UW-UM series. Every game from now on is big. Go Gophers.

OSU shut Rose down and got her in foul trouble. If Rose is not in the game, who can provide an inside game? No choice but to see who will show up: Oberg, Hammond, or Gradwell? Without Rose's scoring, where does it come from? Braun produced points tonight but you need to find someone else to...

Pathetic. I think our freshmen have hit the freshman wall. They have discovered that there are many people in college who are just as good or better. Now what? You have to figure out how to make your game better. You have to hone your skills or work harder. Can they do it? Will the light...

Katie has received a lot of criticism. Quarter Backs usually are the first to blame. However, no one on the team plays with as much energy and enthusiasm as Katie. I wish it was more infectious. She does jack up some bad shots. Some of the time, no one else will shoot and she has to take...

They had their chances. It was anyone's game until the last minute. The Gophers do not have much experience in close games and they couldn't pull it off in the end. Rose had a another great game. They need to find some outside shooting and another threat to open things up more for Rose. I...

LBK! I thought she brought leadership and maturity to the Gophers. She didn't have the size, quickness, and talent of some of the other players. But, she got the most out of her talent and physicality unlike some of her other teammates. I thought the team was better and more under control...

Terrible first quarter. Good third quarter for a change (20 vs 17 points). The second and fourth quarters were OK considering it was against a great team. Good double-double for Rose. Heyer was great--16 points and 8 rebounds. Braun got 13, which is nice to see. Battle didn't score and had...

We have made two WNIT tournaments in the last four years (1 NCAA in last 6). Yes, there are no NCAA bids under Whalen. We lost in the second round of the WNIT in both years. Last year, we had the bad luck to draw South Dakota State in the second round and they won the whole tournament. Bad...

Players will transfer if we hire a great coach. Look at UM Volleyball. Even though they hired a great coach and have excellent players returning, two blue-chip players transferred. The players didn't want to stick around to see what the new coach can do. They opted to become free agents and...

When does her seat become hot? I don't know. When Coyle's seat becomes too hot? When our seats become too hot? Minnesota is the graveyard of coaches. There has only been about 28 winning seasons in the 50-year history of Gopher Women's Basketball. There has only been 10 NCAA appearances, 3...

Bad loss. Minnesota looked like the team that played three games in one week. Four players played over 30 minutes and 5 over 27 minutes. The reserves don't give the team much rest or production (2 points vs 17). Scouting report says stop Micheaux, via double or triple teams, because no one...

Great game today. Both teams played very well. Great passing and puck handling. The refs did a good job and let them play. Gophers pick up a big win over a tough team on the road. Let's do it again tomorrow. Go Gophers.

Disappointing game. The Gophers had an opportunity to get an important win and climb up in the standings. Purdue was stronger and more physical than the Gophers. I agree Braun and others need to hit the weight room this summer. Plus, Purdue was really hot with 3-point shooting. It will be...

Yes, I think there is a freshmen wall. Academically, many freshmen college students were in the top 10% or 25% of their high school class. Of course, a huge percentage of their high school class didn't care or were not gifted. When they come to college, they discover that many college...

As someone who spent many years advising and teaching college students, most college students grow (maturity and intellectually) more in the summer after their freshman year than any other time in college. They do some reflecting and soul searching after the difficult freshman year. I think...

If the black Jerseys are in honor of MLK, I am fine with it. However, the Athletic Department needs to think about branding. We are the Golden Gophers so gold should be a part of every uniform combination. Maroon and gold are the school colors so stick close to that. All maroon or black are...
