    Grace Grocholski Commits to Gophers!

    Sconiers and Strande would have been impact players on Minnesota if Whalen would have played them. Strande is the fifth highest scorer in WI high school history and she shot 43% 3PT this season at Butler. Sconiers led Delaware this season in scoring at 12.6 PPG.

    Jeff Walz on the Women's Game

    Iowa has way more talent, and a much deeper bench than Louisville. Iowa's backup forwards Stuelke, Ediger, O'Grady, Goodman would have all been starters at Minnesota and performed extremely well. However, they probably wouldn't have played for Whalen since they were from IA and MI.

    NCAA Tournament 2022-23

    3 pointer with about 2:00 minutes to go to put Miami up 5. Scalia went under the screen (when she should have gone over) and that gave Cavinder the clean look to knock it down. Exciting game. Miami executed their game plan on the Hoosiers.

    Dawn Plitzuweit Named New Gopher Head Coach!

    She will sit them on the bench when they turn the ball over, and probably bring in a veteran guard or two to run the show. Plitzuweit is a very good coach. The players will finally learn proper defense and learn an offense with motion (versus predictable sets). She will need to get a few players...

    Some good news on the Gopher WBB front

    The new coach will decide who is back. With a coach change, player scholarships are only renewed if the new coach wants to renew them. Most coaches transfer a few players from their current team to help set the culture or recruit player to fit their system in order kick start the program.

    Coaches to Watch

    Banhem will need to look for another Director of Quality Control job.

    Coaches to Watch

    All of the coaches mentioned, will bring their own coaching staffs. Plus, IMO their will be only 4-5 players on the current roster that they would retain. All the walk-ons and second-tier Minnesota players will be jettisoned immediately. Some coaches will try to transfer key players from their...

    Scoggins: Give Whalen One More Year

    Every year, it's wait another year. Let's face reality and move on. Hire a real coach. Look at Brenda Frese, Maryland had big time transfers out after last season. She was able to steady the ship, got key players to come to Maryland, and (shocker) they are #5 in the country this year. She...

    STrib: Whalen promises good things are coming; Freshmen insist they're not leaving

    "We're here. We're not going to leave. We're going to change it. We're going to do what we said.'' Good luck with that. Pretending things are going to change failed year after failed year is not the answer. It's time to hire an experienced coach. We will be back here again next year.. just like...

    Coaches to Watch

    old video clip from his 2011-12 season at Michigan. His last season at Michigan, where Borseth was 20-12 and took the Wolverines to the NCAA tourney. UW-Green Bay is currently 21-4 and will make the NCAA tourney this year.

    It Starts Today - We Will Finish 4-1 Minimum In Final 5

    Time for a reality check. This team will never make an NCAA tourney game under Whalen. Anyone with any sizeable amount of coaching experience knows this is true. It's foolish to keep expecting things to change. Time to hire a qualified coach - before more players transfer.

    We Will Turn This Around

    This will not be turned around. A new coach needs to be hired, or a new athletic director needs to be hired that can hire a new coach. Good players, with other options, will start to leave (like the many before them - Scalia) once they realize that there is no hope of winning. The talent pool is...

    When does the seat become hot?

    If we hire a great coach, the players will transfer IN, not OUT. Look at what Shauna Green has done at Illinois. Players followed her to Illinois from Dayton, and now they are in the top half of the conference. Whalen has lost all of her recruits from the 2018, 2019, 2020 classes and they seem...

    When does the seat become hot?

    Saying this team is a tournament team next year is nonsense. This team will never make an NCAA tourney game under Whalen. Anyone with any sizeable amount of coaching experience knows this is true. It's foolish to keep expecting things to change. Time to hire a qualified coach - before more...

    Other B1G Conference Games 2022-23

    The top 6 teams in the Big Ten WBB standings—Indiana, Iowa, OSU, Maryland, Illinois, Michigan—are a collective 34-3 against the other 8 Big Ten teams. Definitely a clear line between the top and bottom of the BIG. Illinois has made the biggest jump this year under Shauna Green.
