But the Gophers have steadfastly refused to list either as out for the season. Hedging has been surprising in case of Braun.

BIG schedule is only going to be 18 conference games. Only 1 double play. USC’s double play is likely UCLA.

I've been impressed with Coach P's recruiting-evaluation skills. GG, for example, had an unimpressive offer list, both before committing to ASU, and after de-committing and then committing to West Virginia. GG's athleticism deficit is no doubt the reason for this. But she can play, and really...

Maryland won in Champaign.

Ajok Madol not on injury report for tonight. Will we see her tonight? Can she possibly get a medical redshirt waiver, despite appearing in 10 games?

Clark has some maturity issues on the court, but once the horn sounds, she has been a model WBB representative, which is truly amazing. No female college athlete has ever faced the sustained attention and sustained pressure that Clark has. She has been baited, trolled and criticized, in...

Good point about her last 6 games, meaning 6 of her 9 BIG games this season. With her slump in conference play, Braun's conference-game shooting numbers were materially worse this year, and they weren't good last year: It is a mystery to me how someone with Braun's obvious offensive skills...

Your point about offense is a good one to keep in mind through the haze created by the Braun and Hart injuries. Pre-Braun injury, the team was more organized, somewhat (but not massively) better on defense in conference play, and better at not turning the ball over. But the offense was still a...

This is the 4th year of the NET for WBB, after 36 years of the RPI for WBB. The efficiency and margin of victory (early season blow outs) components of the NET are really helping the middle BIG teams, whereas the who you play/beat features of the RPI are hurting the middle BIG teams, except...

Gopher ticket office tells me doors will open 1 hour before game time, per usual policy. When is the last time Williams had a sell out (perhaps vs Wisconsin MBB 2/6/2019)?

Correct, unless they get a waiver from the NCAA, which I believe Minnesota is pursuing. Mid-year transfer for lack of playing time not usually a basis for waiver.

ASGR has issued updated ranking for the class of 2024, with McKenna Johnson checking in at # 72, and Tori McKinney checking in at # 98.

Reportedly had numerous offers from several Power 6 conferences. Anyone see a complete list?

McMahon carried OSU to victory over Iowa, but has not improved her numbers from freshman year. If anything, a mild sophomore slump. William's conference-play numbers are more impressive. Serah Williams conference stats: 19.4 ppg (3rd in the league behind Clark & Holmes) 12.5 rebounds pg (1st...

In a league with juniors Shyanne Sellers and Laila Phelia, and fellow sophomores Cotie McMahon and Mara Braun, I would not have picked Serah Williams as the best non-senior in the league. But she has been that. Need to keep her from having a big night tonight, perhaps with aid of foul trouble.

When I saw this thread, I was guessing it meant Rose was in the portal again. Rose just doesn’t fit with Kitley on the floor, and others have developed as the season has gone on to take her place. Still think there is a chance for Rose to help Va Tech next season.

I beg to differ. Paige has been great this season. Highly efficient and 20 ppg. She will certainly be a WBCA All American (10 player), and the only issue for the AP and USBWA AA teams is whether she is first or second team. The 4 best guards this year are Clark # 1, then in some order Paige...

Good point. I believe (correct if wrong) BIG Freshman of the Week Standings are: Potts: 6 GG: 2 - now 3 after today (2/19) Stevenson: 2

GG with a statement game for Big Ten Freshman of the Year. Should be close between GG and Natalie Potts.

Regarding free throws, Heyer’s struggle at the line this year is beyond perplexing. Last year she was 34/48 (70.8%). This year she is 14/36 (38.9%). That percentage drop is beyond crazy, especially with her 3-point percentage up this year on heavy volume.
