I think Heyer runs the floor pretty well. There have been plenty of times when she's been the first one down the floor. The problem, as I see it, is that the guards dribble too much and hang onto the ball. When that happens as much as it does, people stop running and moving. Why work when...

Maybe because they're playing the Gophers?

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I agree. I was responding to the original post in this thread. Calling people "dumb, ignorant, and toxic", and telling them to find another team to support because they're not true fans, seemed a little arrogant to me. And self defeating. If we want to expand the fan base, we can't afford to...

This is a message board, the purpose of which is to allow fans to express their opinions (even if you don't agree with them). If people are not supposed to point out mistakes or offer criticism, perhaps it should be renamed the "Sid Hartman" or "Homer" board. I acknowledge that some of the...

JOJ is a perfect example. The coach wants him to hit the boards and play defense; JOJ wants to throw up 3 pointers. After being a starter early in the year, he now sits on the bench.

Even though she hasn't played well lately, it's a little early to be chasing her out the door. I think the pressure is getting to her and she's just trying to do too much now with Braun sidelined. She's still only a sophomore, and I trust that the coaches can get her back on track. With Klick...

These stats say it all - Battle and Sanders had 14 turnovers and 6 assists. And now Saunders has gone two straight games with zero assists. Must be fun playing with her. Or either one, for that matter.

I've said this before, but it bears repeating. On defense and on the boards, he's like the second coming of Jim Brewer, one of the all-time Gopher greats.

JOJ spends too much time drifting around the perimeter. If he moved inside and pounded the boards, he'd contribute more and get more playing time.

Jamison who?

It has to be frustrating for GG and Heyer. They can be wide open or first down the court, and Battle and Sanders either ignore them completely or deliver the ball too late. Too much hero ball by our guards.

Which reminds me: Robert Mitchum supposedly proposed to his wife by saying "Stick with me, baby, and you'll be farting through silk the rest of your life." It worked, as they were married 57 years until his death in 1997.

I believe Katie benefited from receiving an extra COVID year. Anyone starting now wouldn't be eligible for that.

It would be shortsighted to play Johnson now. You'd be wasting a full year of eligibility for a handful of games in a season that is now going nowhere.

I agree. It was a stupid play. She's athletic and has contributed to a couple of wins, but she's not who you want handling the ball when the game is on the line. But then Battle had some costly turnovers in the 4th quarter too.

I agree. And when she drives to the basket, she just flings the ball up there. No form at all. She just can't handle contact (like GG, for example). She ends up on the floor a lot, and it seems she doesn't get her fair share of foul calls.

Time to put you on ignore.

I disagree on Heyer. She maybe didn't have a good game last night, but for the season she's probably been the Gophers most consistent all-around player.

Indiana's guards moved the ball, ours didn't. As a result, they got wide open shots. As long as our guards think they get points for dribbling, nothing will change. There's not much Heyer can do if the ball gets to her late (or not at all). We do need help in the middle. Hart works hard...
