Agree with the best game of her career. However, with the Gophers up by 5, Battle fouled Ejim under the basket with 14 seconds left in OT. Ejim made both FT’s with no time burned off the clock. Would it been better to give up the 2 points and not foul and burn a second or two? I think so.

In 2008 the Gophers made the tournament. UConn was hosting the first two games... a few of us made the trip. Mya Moore was a Freshman... I was in awe of how she played the game... can't help but think her skills matched exactly what Coach Auriemma was looking for the position she played. When I...

... and who is to say that Sanders is even interested in going to the portal.

I am not trying to build a case for Porter, I used her as an example, much in the same way you used Sanders. I looked at the box scores for Colorado for the WBIT games... didn't see anything that stood out for Sanders. Both players may bring different skills to the game... what is Coach P and...

Aside from this... I wanted to post the article with a 'Click to expand' window, but didn't know how. Can anyone offer a brief tutorial? Thanks.

According to Kent Youngblood's article in the Star Tribune this morning "...the Gophers would not host a second-round game Sunday officially because the facility needs to be available for both teams the day before the game." Very simply put...

Thanks for digging-out the numbers... perhaps you are right... I will think about it.

I would welcome Porter. She brings BigTen experience, averaging about 32 minutes in conference play. She averaged about 7 points, 4 rebs, and 2-3 TO. She doesn’t get to the line often, but averages 82% when she does. Not a 3 point threat… may have a steal or two. During the two games with WI...

I believe another true low post with size is what the Gophers need… I left out ‘plodder’ because with all due respect I believe it is demeaning and unnecessary to make your point. I was glad to have Steward this year, she contributed to whatever success we had this year. The return of Braun and...

6'6" similar frame as Hart, Sophomore. Slower start in Conference play, but over last 10 games she average 15pts in 24min & had 5 double/doubles. Her doubles were against OSU, NU, ILL, WIS, and MICH. Doesn't shoot the 3, poor FT%, about 4 TO, stays out of foul trouble. MN was the only team that...

Any thoughts on Gracie Merkle from Penn State?

... the NCAA tournament is not structured to encourage 'cinderella' teams.

With all the angst over hosting and seeding, please help me understand why I would not want to be a 1-4 seed in the NCAA. The top 4 seeded teams host the first two rounds and they don't meet higher seeded teams until either the Sweet 16 or Elite 8. Help me with the logic... thanks

The fact is the Gopher WBB team didn’t do enough to make the NCAA. Whether this was because of a weak non-conference schedule, questionable coaching, lack of hitting important shots, short bench due to injuries, or as I believe a combination of all, the program didn’t make the NCAA. Even if they...

I see Tori as a mixture of Heyer & GG... the toughness on the boards as Heyer and the calmness GG... hopefully she brings the ability to finish... Agree about Greenway.

... and I agree with you. The lunches, the dinners at Jax's., the radio show at Applebees, the 150 members in the FBC, Terry McFarland's weekly emails, traveling to watch the games were all wonderful experiences, but the fact remains that attendance dropped 8000 people/game during Borton's...

2003/2004, our Final Four year, the average attendance for conference home games was 11281… it was exciting to watch wbb. we averaged 65 pts/game & the opposition was 59 pts/game. The year before it was 74/65. Coach Borton was a very defensive minded coach, but I believed then as I do now that...

I agree... renewed my tickets today.

I agree! When Braun returns perhaps some pressure can be taken off Battle.

I have listened to many pre/post game interviews with the coaching staff. Many times the comments are regarding the other team having extra day(s) of preparation. Washington beat Nebraska on Sunday... travelled and prepared for and completely dominated the Gophers on Wednesday. The last time I...
