    Game 5: Gophers Host CSUN (11-22-23)

    Don't think I have ever seen a team held to 2 points in the 4th quarter. And MN did it essentially with starters sitting for most of it. Seemed like Coach wanted Braun to score 20+ points, left her out there until she did (last starter out). Again, our worst quarter was the 3rd. Hopefully...

    Game 5: Gophers Host CSUN (11-22-23)

    Some additional information: CSUN beat Utah State 79-64 (home), beat Seattle University 81-72 (home), lost to Santa Clara University 71-39 (road), and lost to Hope University 64-60 (home). All of their games have been in front of crowds around 200 fans. So perhaps 2,000 fans might be a bit...

    Game 4: Gophers Host UConn (11-19-23)

    Attendance, 10,869. Coach grabbed microphone and urged fans to return, even those wearing blue and white. Without looking it up, I suspect it is the largest crowd since the first game when Lindsay was named head coach. However, the revenue from this game might have been higher?

    Game 3: Gophers Host NDSU (11-15-23)

    I was really hoping Battle could get one more assist for double/double. Heyer did get a double/double. Holloway really showed her leaping ability, especially when intercepted the pass and took for a basket. She caused NDSU a lot of trouble. Glad to see Braun return with "only" a large bandaid.

    Game 2: Gophers Host Chicago State (11-12-23)

    If Sanders is the backup point guard, I think it will be trouble once the competition gets better (i.e. B1G). Too much dribbling only looking for her shot. Won't work in a month other than giving the opposition a turnover. Fun to watch Holloway play. They need to get Heyer going. Braun's...

    Dawn Plitzuweit's Introductory Presser on Monday

    Thanks for the clarification. Hopefully she mimics Frese more than Washington. I watched Maryland move on yesterday.

    Could you elaborate for the less expert in this group?

    Dawn Plitzuweit Named New Gopher Head Coach!

    I have no inside knowledge, but after reading a variety of articles, etc. my guess is that her reasons to come her are several including closer to family, familiarity with recruiting this area (and easier to get recruits to U than WV), increased salary, B1G, and maybe even a change of bosses (WV...

    Some good news on the Gopher WBB front

    If memory serves me correctly, after Oldfield left the U for Maryland, Lindsay was reported to have been in touch with incoming recruits and team members encouraging them to come/stay. Perhaps Braun and Heyer will do the same (unless it isn't allowed under current rules).

    B1G Game 16: Gophers Visit Northwestern (2-18-23)

    Down 12 to start 4th. Not looking very good.

    B1G Game 4: Gophers host Ohio State (1-5-23)

    My point was we always seem to lose the 3rd. And then scrap back in the 4th.

    Game 13: Gophers Host Eastern Illinois (12-22-22)

    Somebody needs to tell this team that it's not the NBA where you hang around playing for three quarters and then turn it on in the 4th. On the other hand, it's been a long time since we had a team that could turn it on in the 4th and also win the game. The walk from the Barn to the car was...
