    ***OFFICIAL MICHIGAN STATE AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    It is pretty funny, frustrating, expected and disappointing to watch the comments over the course of the season, heck from minute to minute in a game, go from "We Suck" to "Awesome" to "WTF" to "Great Effort" to "We'll never win!" to "This team has possibilities", ect. on the forum. I try to...

    ***OFFICIAL MICHIGAN STATE AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Not often that you see 2 teams that like to get out and run a little, both take under 50 shots in a college game. Good to win a grinder.

    ***OFFICIAL MICHIGAN STATE AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Who was the guy who said we need to shoot 67% from the floor to win? So far, so good!

    Michigan St. Tuesday

    Personally, I can't afford the $100+ monthly fee for even basic cable. I have MLB.com (for the Twins), Netflix, CCAA Network (Division 2 network out here in Ca. for Division 2 hoops) and Big 10+. That's already 4 different subscriptions "about $60 in fees" to keep track of :(. I drop the...

    B1G Game 10: Gophers Host Penn State (1-31-24)

    Yeah, she struggled in the first half. Seems like she's trying to force the action and had some bad turnovers..

    B1G Game 10: Gophers Host Penn State (1-31-24)

    Our team looks sluggish and unsure right now. On defense, PSU is quicker and anticipating very well to close off passing/driving lanes in the half court. On offense, Owusu seems to be a mismatch for us. That stepback at the end of the half was just unfair. While the defensive rebounding for...

    B1G Game 10: Gophers Host Penn State (1-31-24)

    No, the Penn State player. Sanders was right there and her reaction while walking away indicated she knew the PSU player might have a bad injury.

    B1G Game 10: Gophers Host Penn State (1-31-24)

    Bigger issue might be clearing defensive boards and cutting down on the live ball turnovers that create run-outs. Man I hope that girls leg is OK. Judgiing from Sanders reaction, she thinks it pretty bad.

    All Things 2023 D2/D3 Hoops

    That must have been fun! Went to school in Mankato from 74-77, but unfortunately, have not had the opportunity to see them in the Taylor Center. Mostly because of my aversion to be in Minnesota during winter ever again. :)

    STrib: Plitzuweit Sees Opportunity

    I'm interested to see what and where Holloway's minutes will come. With-out seeing her in any practices, and just limited minutes in the post, I'm curious if she might be capable of guarding a 3 out on the perimeter occasionally. She's long, athletic and fairly quick (at least in the post)...

    B1G Game 9: Gophers visit Illinois (1-28-24)

    Count me as another who figured (figures) a 500 in the Big 10 will be a great step and should be considered a successful season. Finishing in the top 4-5 in the Big Ten would far exceed my expectations for this years team. This season is for installing a system and culture and learning how to...

    B1G Game 8: Gophers Visit Wisconsin (1-23-24)

    I saw an interview with Coach P last week in which she mentioned that she wants Battle to look for her shot and be a scoring threat from the point guard spot. She also explained why. I think they'd be comfortable with her taking 10-12 shots per game. She is certainly capable of creating good...

    MNDaily: Gophers Stress Need for Defense

    The "Improvement Highway" is full of curves, potholes, dips and hills. And right now, most of the drivers are still relatively young. And just when they think they've got a handle on it, a deer will suddenly spring out of the woods on you. Oh, and you're instructor is much different from the...

    B1G Game 6: Gophers Visit Indiana (1-17-24)

    I'm only able to follow on Live Stats, but it seems the more significant problem for the Gophers tonight is that nobody seems to be able to match-up against McKenzie. She's 11-13 with 5 boards and 2 steals. I mean, we're shooting 44% and 50% from 3, but McKenzie in close and the Points off...

    B1G Game 6: Gophers Visit Indiana (1-17-24)

    Although we are way farther along as a team as compared to last year at this time, I'm not sure we're at Indiana level yet. I think that if Everything Absolutely Clicks, we have a chance to pull an upset. That's a tough ask on the road against a really good team. I also think we could play...

    B1G Game 5: Gophers host Nebraska (1-14-24)

    Regarding Charges and Illegal screens. I know that Sanders caught one break on a charge when she was clearly way inside the circle under the basket. I know that many officials will talk to coaches prior to the game to let them know some of the specific things they'll be looking for...

    B1G Game 5: Gophers host Nebraska (1-14-24)

    I noticed the issue with Braun leaving a lot of room for defenders off of screens as well. Not sure if that's on her or the screeners placement or timing. Having said that, must give a lot of credit for the defense that Shelly played. When they switched, I thought all the Nebraska defenders...
