Seriously? There are probably 7 teams in the conference who would kill to have someone like Fox. Able to not start without whining, and then come in and give a lift to whatever is ailing at the moment. Scoring, rebounding, defense, and energy. All time talent? Nope. But indispensable on a team...

I fear that it may be a blowout, unless the Gophers play far better than they have recently. BTW, why in bleep are the men’s and women’s teams playing at the same time?

Powell rings a bell? One of the valuable players Whalen "let leave"?

Well for one thing she is playing less minutes at PG in all likelihood. But as to your point that she can’t stay sitting because Sanders is a human TO factory, it’s correct. But don’t forget that the same applies the other way. Every time Sanders sits down, Battle coughs one up. IIRC Battle had...

Whether we like it or not that player is not currently on the court! Braun sucked a lot of the defensive oxygen out of the room when she was on the floor. Now that she isn’t, every Gopher player got moved up a notch on the defensive list, and it ain’t turning out well. one seriously cannot...

They were just normal tourists visiting the capitol, er arena!

The point guard play was atrocious, or worse. Sanders spends 15 seconds trying to set up a right handed drive to the basket, then comes the inevitable layup attempt, and landing on the floor. Battle, when she in a rare occasion stops dribbling anywhere outside 18’, they just back off because she...

Our PG: dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble! The rest of the team: Stand around wondering what’s gonna happen next? Turnover, or blown layup?

You mean the players still have to go to school? 😲

This may make a discussion on recruiting moot, at best. From a ruling by a Tennessee judge on paying basically high school recruits: 'There's no question the NCAA has never faced more attacks from different areas at one time," Feldman said. ''And things are snowballing. And I think that's why...

It takes time to change the mentality of a player, not to speak of a team. For example, someone sold Hawkins on becoming a facilitator vs what he looked like when he first showed up, a hero turn over prone guard. While he can drive one a little crazy still, he has been far more effective as the...

I went to games at the Barn when Olberding, Thompson, McHale, Brewer et al were around. It was insane! You win here, and the people and the noise will come back. On a different note, a comment on the Strib said that Battles mom, often featured on tv, gave the double bird to the student section...

Who would ever stoop that low? 🤔 John Wooden was an excellent basketball coach, and he hired great players!

When you need to make a point, the replacement is not an issue unless you are actually down to just 5 bodies.

Technicals on dirty little stuff after the play? If that is a reference to the Sanders stunt, it wasn’t a T, it was an intentional foul, which was well deserved! Sanders plays with a chip on her shoulder and is consistently trying to get in the last shove at the end of a play. Frankly if she...

Dont take this the wrong way, but Harts injury is the best thing to happen to the Gophers this year. It gives AJ a lot of playing time, which she needs. While her inexperience shows so does her physical talent. given some time, those missed layups will start falling, and she will feel...

We don’t have John’s bagman!

Hawkins does have a tendency to play "hero ball" at the end of games. It’s fine to want the ball in your hands, and it’s great to be able to hit the free throws at the end. But in the last four, five games, I think he has had 3 reach in fouls late in the games, letting the opponent score...

Uh, they subbed him in on defense and out when possible on offense…

You can be the first one to get in front of him……. Lol
