Q&A with Mara Braun in today's St Paul paper. Might be behind at paywall. Here's the link: https://www.twincities.com/2025/05/02/gophers-mara-braun-i-really-want-to-make-some-noise/

So, as this is a 2030 class member....how many comments does one think there will be before she commits - most likely in the fall of 2029.

2025-2026 Big Ten opponents - Wisconsin twice, west coast swing is Washington and Oregon.

What has the world come to that seventh graders are getting offers?

Interestingly enough.....the Dawn rating didn't make it into the version of the column that is in my print edition this morning. I thought he might not have graded her using the "I don't follow that team" approach. At least Patrick didn't call them the "Lady Gophers" like some other folks...

Graduate guards like Janay Sanders and Alexsia Rose turned out to be decent pickups. Hope for the same with Glenn!

The home locker rooms have been upgraded over the years. They are very good. And, Athletes Village, where the players spend most of their time is top notch.

Let's make the Big Dance and not worry about a secondary tournament. Top 16 seeds get first & second round games at home. Otherwise, you hit the road.

In an interview on WCCO radio this morning, Coach P said 1,300 Division I women have entered the portal. She said that is 25% of the players. That's just insane.....no way they all find a new home.

Pretty clear that you have to play defense to see significant playing time under this coach. Wish her the best, but it turned out to not be a good fit.

The University of Minnesota Department of Athletics will announce today that it has partnered with Independent Sports & Entertainment (ISE) to explore potential naming rights for Williams Arena. Here's a link where you can read more...

Gophers vs Belmont for the championship. 5 PM Central time on Wednesday - game on ESPN2.

Grand Valley State won the Division II championship on Friday night over Cal State - Dominguez Hills 70-58. Coach Dawn's daughter Lexi is on the team - and Coach P was in Pittsburgh to watch the win! Coach P coached there from 2002-2007. Congratulations!

And, depending on your cable system and package, ESPNU can be available on your TV.

It wasn't pretty, but as Coach P likes to say "we found a way". And, looking forward to a healthy roster for a full season next year, which Dawn has not had in her first two seasons here.

The winner of the Texas Tech/Florida game moves on to semifinals in Indianapolis in our bracket. That game will finish about the time we tip off as it appears it has a 5 PM central time tip.

Typically, the rooms these press conferences are in are not set up to allow use of another microphone. Coaches could repeat the question as they answer. The exceptions are an event like the press conference when new coach is announced where the setting allows that roving microphone.

Absolutely correct. Very unlikely she'd be ready to go again for action next season. Having watched her live in Indianapolis she is very special indeed.
