Well, transfers (in and out) are now a big part of college basketball. I could never blame a player leaving for sake of more playing time somewhere else. On Whalen's behalf, she had an unusually large and mostly healthy roster of 13 to 15 players throughout the year. It's hard to get playing...

Found Coach JD's comment that the transfer portal is not the way to build a program interesting. It's certainly worked out OK for Ohio State. And Maryland has almost always welcomed a transfer or two every year. I agree may not be the perfect way to build a program but it's a very good way to...

Will she start for Tennessee? That seems like a bit of a strange match. Wish her well.

Not surprised that she's entering the portal. Wish her the best wherever she lands. If Gopher program is going to make a jump next year, they'll probably need to find a post in the portal...and/or Micheaux is going to have to up her game.

I think the Gophers can beat Northwestern even if the Wildcats don't overlook the Gophers. Iowa, on the other hand, is a whole different set of problems. Maybe the best 1-2 tandem in the country now with Clark and Czinano. I watched Iowa drill Michigan yesterday and was amazed by the stat...

I like this matchup for the Gophers. Burton is terrific for NW, but they never know what they're going to get from their other players.

Nice win. We saw today why many of us were excited about Kadi at the beginning of the season. She was very aggressive today and did so without getting into foul trouble. Liked the way the Gophers shared the ball today. Great offensive production also from Scalia and LBK. I can't help but...

Great quarter for LBK; Sissoko also. PSU with 16 points...8 players with 2 points each.

I agree that this is going to be a major rebuild. Ideally, Whalen and staff will see who they have coming back and review the players they have coming in (including Borowicz and Czinano) and then look to fill holes in the transfer portal. I'm still 'glass half-full' on Rose, if she can make...

Rare appearances by Hedman and Sconiers. Right now, the Gophers are a bad basketball team.

Hubbard and Deja still scoreless. MIA.

Gophers outscored 30-13 in the third. Terrible defense.

If the Gophers are going to sign any interior players from the transfer portal this off-season, I hope they can get some players that can actually shoot.

Deja scoreless in the first half.

LBK playing well, but her PT and her aggressive limited by early fouls. Sissoko and Rose also with a couple of fouls. Watching on BTN-Plus. Nice to finally have opposing broadcasters who know how to pronounce Scalia's last name.

Yes, it seems that LBK is bringing the energy and effort that this team needed. Against Northwestern, she was able to get jump balls or fouls almost entirely due to her effort. And I like the fact that she doesn't treat the ball like a hot potato when she touches is. She's not afraid to shoot...

Good team effort from our Gophers. I thought LBK was terrific with 12 boards and 19 points. Hubbard also with 19 points and Scalia with 18. Gophers have shown a lot more effort and energy recently. LBK has been a big part of that. NW's Burton is a terrific player on both sides of the court.

Some rare first half PT for Strande. Hubbard with a quick start offensively with four 3's. LBK with a solid first half. Scalia and Smith also contributing offensively. Gophers allowing too many O rebounds to NW, especially Shaw. NW not much of a threat from beyond the arc. Only one 3 in...

Whalen and staff get to see players like Strande and Sconiers every day in practice. I'm thinking that if these players were even marginally good enough, they'd be playing. I don't think any of us should be surprised if some Gophers will be entering the transfer portal after the season is...

I sure wish we had one more year of Deja. I like her game.
