Iowa Hawkeyes barely leading against 0-7 Northwestern at half 41-38. Ex-Gopher coach Shimmy Miller is one of the commentators for the game. She must have gotten that job from her married partner Lisa Byington, who is a play-by-play announcer for the Milwaukee Bucks. Majority of people would say...

Good grief, these are two of the most undeserving hires. Didn't Mike Thibault and his dad just get fired from the Mystics for a losing season? and Whalen was awful as a "coach" at the UofM. No more recruits would visit. Thank goodness their friend Cheryl Reeve found room in the Lynx payroll for...

Agreed. Whalen was completely unqualified to coach. Fundraiser hire. Dawn Plitzuweit was a great hire and will have this team competing 1-2 years. Just listen to how well she articulates the game and understands what it takes to win. The barn will be full soon.

We finally beat a ranked football program! Dreams do come true.

Wisconsin Badgers playing in primetime take big loss to Bama. I wish the Gophers could play some challenging non-conference opponents, instead of the creampuffs. Creampuffs build a false sense of reality.

Both players could be starters this season. Coach Plitzuweit is doing a great job finding talent from all over. This team should be much more improved this season with the added depth.

I don't see M. Czinano get much time at all next season. Coach P has brought in a lot more talent this year and she will continue to search the portal for upgrades.

It will be tough to get minutes with all the talent the Gophers have added, and could add.

Great get for the Gophers WBB! I'm sure Coach P is not finished on the recruitment trail. Lots of competition for spots this season. That's what makes for a successful program. Constant improvement at all positions. Things are moving in a positive direction.

Liza Karlen would be a massive improvement over Heyer at the 4, but we could play her at the 5. My guess is that she wants to go where she can get at least to the round of 16.

Refreshing to see some loyalty.

What round did Powell go in the WNBA draft last night?

You can't win with local players. Check the rosters of the tourney teams and they are loaded with players from multiple states and countries. Coach Plitzuweit is a good recruiter, so I would expect a vast improvement this season or next. Once she gets this team competitive and winning, the fans...

I would like to see Coach Plitzuweit recruit the most talented players. I do not care what state or country they come from. The 'recruit and play Minnesota locals' has never worked and is flawed thinking. Stollings did not believe in that philosophy and she was the last coach that was able to...

Whalen always said Powell was a first round WNBA pick. Let's find out.

I'm sure Scalia does not regret transferring to Indiana. Role player last season, but a key part of their success this season. Great win at home for the Hoosiers over Iowa!

Watching Virginia Tech defeat Louisville 86-70 yesterday, I had forgotten that recent Gopher WBB Rose Micheaux had transferred to Virginia Tech. It appears as though she is playing very little at Virginia Tech. 12MPG, 4PPG. I don't believe she played a minute in their game yesterday against...

The objective is to decrease the number of turnovers.

Sanders reminds me of Jasmine Powell. Shooters open, but ball hogged and turn the ball over time and time again trying to score. At least Plitzuweit has accountability for her players, and is trying to teach them how to improve. BTW. Powell is a pass first guard with Tennessee now. Its pass or...

Two big advantages for PSU this season, athleticism and speed. I thought PSU Carolyn Kieger (Roseville) was done after last season, but their BIG10 tourney win last season over MN probably probably saved her. This year she has PSU going full speed and moving up in the BIG10.
