I may be completely off base with this, but I’m not completely surprised by Battle being named HM All-Big Ten. I think she was having a very solid season, prior to the Mara Braun injury. Coach P had pretty much calmed down Battle’s habit of trying to make spectacular plays (remember, all young...

I had several coaches mention this to me over the years, and seen it play out a few times as well. It takes some players a year or two for things to click. It's not that they're not making the effort, or being difficult. For whatever reason, some of the concepts that a coach is teaching, that...

Not sure why people get upset about what a TV commentator says or does not say. Has no affect on the game I'm watching, no affect on my perception of the game I'm watching and no affect on the team or the players he may be talking about in the moment.

I thought he did go to a match-up zone for a moment in the second half. Illinois immediately knocked down a wide open corner 3. I think it was Shannon on the near side.

Considering what it looked like we had in November, which was pretty much, "I hope we can somehow squeeze out 5 BT wins", to the end of Feb., where we're gonna be disappointed if we aren't in a year -end tournament and looking back to last night and thinking, "If we could have just pulled out 3...

She's the Taylor Swift of womens basketball. From everything I've heard, she's a great person in addition to being a great basketball player. Great for the sport and I applaud all the positive attention she's brought to womens sports in general. That said, hope she has an off-night...

I think you forgot to list All-American caliber Point, guard, wing, 4 and post players who are capable of taking over any game at any time, but 100% believe in team-first style of play, who also absolutely crave the college life and wish they never had to leave, loves Minnesota winters and hates...

I've had the same thing happen a few times in my real life. Somebody is coming toward me and they are technically with-in my field of vision and I don't really see them until the very last second because I'm focused on something else, or maybe several things just beyond the person about to run...

Gotta ask; you think that womens basketball really becoming a thing in the mid-to-late 70's, literally 45-50 years ago, is a main factor in the shortage of good officials now? Are we sure that, this far down the line, there might not probably be a lot of other factors that might now be the...

Gonna be honest. With all of Coach P and her staffs years of experience and success with coaching at a variety of levels, not to mention all of the coaching clinics they’ve attended and put on themselves, It’s amazing that they’re unaware of or never tried the variety of suggestions that are...

I know they don't really track stats on what the guy you were guarding did while you were guarding them, but coaches are definitely paying attention to numbers like that. Most fans seem to be focused on how our guy is doing offensively, rebounds, assists, ect., but if my guy scores 20 on 8-11...

Gonna be honest. Right now, this team is at what I thought would be their best case scenario for this season. I was hoping, but certainly not predicting, that they might be a 500 team at this point of the Big Ten season. You can see this group growing and believing. Like most 500 teams...

That happens to a lot of sports fans. They make a judgement based on a small snapshot (still) taken when they were paying particularly close attention, and aren't as aware of the rest of the movie.

I take it that you are on the side of tank the season, throw mud against the wall and hope some of it might start doing something that it apparently can't do in practice every day.

I'm a little shocked that some here seem to want Coach P to pretty much tank the season and try to get people who have obviously shown her every day in practice that they aren't ready or deserving of playing time yet. I'm pretty sure that at her level, she's not gonna just give out playing...

I stand corrected. I eventually got around to checking it out and found out that she did indeed play in the 4th quarter. Thanks for the response. Good reminder to check before you believe!

I have not checked it out, but was told that Iowa pulled Clark in the 4th, to make sure she can set the scoring record in front of the home crowd. Not only do they end up losing the game, but may have cost themselves a #1 seed. Talk about messed up priorities! Worried about individual stats...

Glad that we weren't forced to bring Hawkins back in with 2 fouls when things started getting a little nervous. Seems Ben had confidence that his guys would figure it out. He was probably thinking " as long as we keep the lead, I can save him.". Great minutes for Fox and Carrington off the...

Ironic that just about the time some folks start going into panic mode, the Gophers go on a nice run.

Very cool! I keep hearing about how Ben has no fire or intensity, yet at the :45 second mark in the huddle, I saw plenty of both when talking to his players. I guess for some, unless I can see him screaming, yelling, jumping up and down and waving his arms at officials, looking like a 10-year...
