Butler's new coach, Austin Parkinson, came from IUPUI where he was 224-141 with multiple Horizon League championships, WNIT and NCAA appearances. IUPUI went 24-5 this season and beat the Iowa Hawkeyes and took Michigan to OT. He will make Butler University a contender in the Big East.

"Scheduled for an afternoon news conference with reporters covering the women’s NCAA Final Four championship on Sunday at Target Center, the Gophers basketball coach was instead stuck in New Orleans because of a flight cancellation." This sounds more like situational avoidance to me. Hanging...

Whalen made her the face of the Gophers and she used it to increase her own value and move up in the BIG10. Well played.

Scalia was Whalen's first recruit, and that has bonded the two. Scalia, then at Stillwater High School, was the first player Whalen called after being hired to be Gophers coach in April 2018. Whalen, new to the recruiting game, distinctly remembers the call. "We probably said two words,''...

Geno needs to stay in his lane.

This is delusional. The two players that were definitely not team players - Powell and Scalia. Whalen supported them and their selfish ways and it is one of the many reasons she is not fit to be a coach. Both should have been sat many times. but Whalen catered to their needs so they would not leave.

"Peter Scalia said there were times when Sara, well-known for her work ethic in the gym, was looking for teammates with the same commitment." We discovered the underlying issue. Sara was more committed to winning than her teammates.

Little awkward to have a f Why is the father being interviewed? red flag.

I hate to say it, but .. I told you so... again. What player would want to come play for Whalen & friends? none

I hate to say it, but .. I told you so.

So true. Too bad there is one left. The one who shoots all the shots and gets a pass on defense.

It doesn't appear that any of the players have bought into to what this coaching staff is selling this year (or any previous years - Destiny Pitts). I agree that it would be tough for Scalia to leave since she probably helped Whalen sell coming to MN to the incoming freshman class. She just...

I knew Kellie Harper when she was with Missouri State. She was a great hire for Tennessee. Good coach and leader, very intense. Wishing Powell the best at Tennessee. Much higher standard at Tennessee then here for sure.

Well .. it looks like we have a mass exodus at Minnesota WBB. Not Surprising. Every now an then you miss on a coach hire. This is definitely one of those times. I agree Kadi and Scalia should seek greener pastures. I'm sure the AAU teams, players, and families are all talking. The more that...

So many of the starting players on this team are out of condition, poor defenders, poor passers, poor shot selections. The coaches must see that every day in practice. We as fans see it every game. They still play on. When players do not perform in games, you replace them with other players to...

When this team has been getting blown out in games and down 20-30, even 50 points in a game (poor shooting, turnovers, fouls, etc.). Sorry, its time to play the underclassmen - i don't care what promises you made older players or starters about playing time. The starters or 'so called' best...

It will be difficult to pull quality players from the transfer portal after this season. Minnesota isn't a preferred destination for most players. I'm going to guess they will target non-impact, ex-Minnesota players that want to play near home. Should have played the underclassmen this year...

I think you are giving this coaching staff too much credit for judging player ability. I'm confident Sconiers could have played productive minutes this season given the woes or Micheaux (travelling, screens setting, and fouling) and Sissoko (turnovers & fouling, plus can't go left). Strande...

The Gophers last two games have been played against teams with depleted rosters that have experienced player transfers and/or injuries. This team plays way better together without Powell - I could have told you that 2 years ago. However, they need to look forward to next season. They are not...

Smith cannot shoot. Michigan State not even defending her.
