Isn't the current NIL basically wild west rules for boosters. Couldn't any one of us could reach out to a player or recruit and say me or my business will give you $50K to play for the gophers this year? Just like John Ruiz does for the Univ of Miami?

Terrible. Enjoy the WNIT. Wonder how many good recruits just lost interest. Fucking disgusting.

Uninspired garbage. About to turn this off midway through the 3rd.

They need to pull their heads out and play. This would be an unforgiveable loss. You want to watch yourself get left out of the NCAA tourney and weep about what could have been.. then keep this up and lose this game. The Gophs have to beat the cellar teams if they want in.

Rose Micheaux's 11 rebounds (7 offensive) had a lot to do with that. Hopefully Nia and the rest of the team's improved rebounding can reproduce that advantage. And for God's sake put those offensive boards up and in....

Really do love Battle, but she was a liability tonight.

Damn it. We're gonna lose by as much as we did to Iowa. Turnovers, missed layups and "lays it up and in" by Maryland every other play.

We definitely don't want to have to use our bench for extensive minutes - so I understand being careful not to foul. But that's what gave them so many easy inside baskets. Going to have to abandon that in the 2nd half. And Hart will have to play sparingly. She looks exhausted already and...

Have to hit open shots and rebound. That isn't Iowa outplaying us, that is just poor fundamentals. Need to improve both through the final 3 quarters.

She seems pretty entrenched in the advanced medical studies program at UA. Don't see her leaving the school. Just basketball. Good for her in that regard. Too many athletes are 99% sport 1% education. NIL makes this disparity even worse.

Assist/TO 19:8 for the starters.

And 7 turnovers in a half seems a bit high against a lower tier team like Grambling. Maybe Coach P is experimenting with a faster paced play. In which case this is probably the right game to do it.

Doesn't seem like as much of a defensive focus. We're just outscoring them.

This is what I was hoping. That with a insurmountable lead Coach P could play with different lineup mixes, plays and strategies in the second half without any risk. So some of the stats won't be as sexy, but the team might have learned a few things.

Beautiful views.

Micheaux proved she can play in the BIG10. Hart hasn't yet proven herself (as a starter) at the division 1 level. Micheaux had no reason to feel threatened for opportunity. She merely traded up to an NCAA tournament team and probably got some NIL in the process.

Who?

I agree with this. The sport is compelling enough through the players on the court. It doesn't need over-the-top demonstrative coaches on the sidelines or trash talk to draw in simpleton viewers who can't appreciate the sport in it's organic form. Although I did enjoy Bobby Knight throwing...

I hope she (Katie B) stays. Dawn seems like the type of coach who could take her high motor and creativity and refine it without losing the energy. Then she'd be a star.

NIL doesn't come directly from the schools' budget/revenue, does it? I thought NIL payments were from boosters.
