in the early going, I'm glad to see Battle successfully fight over screens up top.

Glad to see Hart getting some confidence on the offensive side. Seems like she has trouble hanging on to a rebound, but she seemed pretty good at defending the rim and her offensive post play was very solid. Some of her 4th Q misses just looked like she was getting a little gassed. Good game...

In watching the highlights this morning, I see that some of the Williams makes were on some pretty deep 3's (looked like one was at least 30 feet out) with a fairly decent close-outs coming at him on some of the makes. When I saw on Live Stats that he was knocking down all those early 3's, I...

Thank you. At least somebody is paying attention to defense a little tonight. The Gophers ability to stop people from scoring when needed will go a long ways to determining if they can win Big Ten games.

Since I can't watch, only folllow on live stats, it would be nice to know who have been the defensive assignments against Rashad Williams. Since the game is under control, it would be a chance to find out if you have a defensive stopper, who can come in and cool off a hot shooter. I would...

So who drew the defensive assignment on Rashad Williams?

In watching the replay, I saw a lot of that by both teams. Frustrating to watch if it's your team missing shots, but encouraging to watch your team creating the same type of problems for the other team. Obviously UConn is better than our Gophers, but it was very encouraging to see our team...

"You can be the greatest thing and the next day you can be the worst thing that ever happened," Christie said about fan reaction. "So, it's about remaining confident in the work you put in and trusting you deserve to be here — never letting that waver." Wait! Are you trying to say that sports...

If the Gophers can stay with-in 10-15 points for the majority of the game, and show poise and keep competing no matter what happens, I will be pretty dang impressed! An Upset would be awesome! The adrenaline should be running high, which can be both a blessing and a curse. Unfortunately, I'll...

As we hit the 4th quarter against the first decent team the Gophers have played this season, some personal observations that have me encouraged. Pretty much all defensive things. The transition defense is so much better than last season, mostly, at least from my perspective, from better effort...

I was impressed with her communications skills in the short snippet of the Amaya Battle show a couple of weeks ago and I was impressed with her physical skills potential and hustle in the highlights that I watched on Sunday. Looks like she has a very high ceiling.

Well, I guess that sort-of explains it-- I guess---sort of. :)

Not to be a jerk, but I'm curious as to what affect you can have on a random game that you've bet money on. In what way will you be able to actually affect the outcome of any particular moment of a game from your seat on the couch. For example, the Gophers couldn't make a 3 in the second half...

I guess I'm just risk adverse when I have no control over what happens. There's a lot of stuff I would likely bet on if I am personally involved in it, meaning that if there is a way for me to affect the outcome, no matter how unlikely, I'm willing to bet. But if there is no possible way for...

I've never understood why people bet their hard earned money on things that they have ZERO control over. I know that these days, I'm in the extreme minority, but I'm only risking my money on stuff that I can at least have some type of slight control over.

Best line of the night!!

L I'm just following Live Stats. BC quicker to the boards? Crashing extra hard? Long rebounds?

Well, we can be 90% sure that the guy on the edge of the frame is going to do a big story about Mallory Heyer's versatility and verbal leadership. :)
