Also, we know all too well that the Gophers need Braun and Hart on the floor. Aside from their time away/rust, the Gophers only had each for half of this game.
Am I remembering correctly that Dominika Paurova is the overseas player who decommitted when Whalen was canned? She was incredible for Oregon State in their win tonight.
No inside knowledge here but Tessa Johnson has to be thinking about it. She's fifth on the guard depth chart, everyone is returning and South Carolina is adding a top guard recruit.
While the Gophers flounder, DuDonis has taken lowly Fairfield into the Top 25. (They've only lost once all season, against an admittedly not-so-tough schedule. However, they creamed Rutgers at Rutgers.)
Has anyone heard if there is any possibility of Braun returning if there is a postseason? That's the only reason I can think of to prolong this season at this point.
