I'd personally rather Mara take the rest of the season off to heal 1,000%. Take the medical redshirt and come back next year. Let's not come back early and hurt it for a third time.

This whole McMiller thing is a bit hard to understand. The coach is in charge.....and as a player you have to remember that. Wonder if it is akin to when Destiny Pitts and Whalen had their tiff. If she doesn't play tonight, all the better for the Gophers!

Not quite....it is Fulda.....

Sorry..but kind of hard not to mention the elephant in the room. I've never liked him as a ref well before the awful call(s) against the Lynx.

Congrats on win #400, Dawn! And, in case folks in attendance didn't notice.....our favorite referee (not!) Roy Gulbeyan (#42 in our WNBA hearts) was in the officiating crew today.

Gopher - Virginia Tech game not complete when this edition of the Minnesota Star Tribune went to press. Subscriber only game report can be found at startribune.com. And, that's pretty much what my paper show this morning. My home delivery paper has a picture and no game report and says go...

Back for another season starting tonight, December 31 on Fox 9 and Fox 9+. 10:35 PM on Fox 9, 7:30 PM on Fox 9+. Tonight's show men's program only. Not surprising as the Gopher women's team went down to Madison on Sunday. In past years, the show alternated each week between the two...

Star Tribune story recently posted does note it is an ACL injury.

We're 9-0 and learning again how to play without Mara Braun. You can complain about the weak non-conference schedule, but I'm going with the team continues to learn and grow.

And maybe it is a chronic foot injury type of problem for Mara. I don't think you can fault the medical care or the staff. Reports note they are working with foot specialists as they determine how to move forward. That's the right thing to do and we all wish the best for Mara. Now, others...

There were probably between 75 and 100 Gopher fans in Tempe between player families, folks who traveled to watch the games and Gopher fans that live around Tempe. No other team, including Arizona State, had more fans that we did! Gopher social media folks were down there posting and providing...

So far nothing noted. Keep an eye on gophersports.com to see if there are any last minute updates. Games will be on the radio on KFAN+ 96.7 FM and the iHeart app.

Game still in progress when this edition of the Minnesota Star Tribune was printed.

If it is BTN+ student announcers at a game I am viewing, I just mute them and listen to Lynnette and Justin (knowing there is a delay).

Game times and broadcast info for almost all of our games were released yesterday. Lots of Big Ten + games as well as a couple of Peacock games to go along with BTN games. Here's the link to the full list and story...
