I hate to say it, but .. I told you so... again. What player would want to come play for Whalen & friends? none

I hate to say it, but .. I told you so.

So true. Too bad there is one left. The one who shoots all the shots and gets a pass on defense.

It doesn't appear that any of the players have bought into to what this coaching staff is selling this year (or any previous years - Destiny Pitts). I agree that it would be tough for Scalia to leave since she probably helped Whalen sell coming to MN to the incoming freshman class. She just...

I knew Kellie Harper when she was with Missouri State. She was a great hire for Tennessee. Good coach and leader, very intense. Wishing Powell the best at Tennessee. Much higher standard at Tennessee then here for sure.

Well .. it looks like we have a mass exodus at Minnesota WBB. Not Surprising. Every now an then you miss on a coach hire. This is definitely one of those times. I agree Kadi and Scalia should seek greener pastures. I'm sure the AAU teams, players, and families are all talking. The more that...

So many of the starting players on this team are out of condition, poor defenders, poor passers, poor shot selections. The coaches must see that every day in practice. We as fans see it every game. They still play on. When players do not perform in games, you replace them with other players to...

When this team has been getting blown out in games and down 20-30, even 50 points in a game (poor shooting, turnovers, fouls, etc.). Sorry, its time to play the underclassmen - i don't care what promises you made older players or starters about playing time. The starters or 'so called' best...

It will be difficult to pull quality players from the transfer portal after this season. Minnesota isn't a preferred destination for most players. I'm going to guess they will target non-impact, ex-Minnesota players that want to play near home. Should have played the underclassmen this year...

I think you are giving this coaching staff too much credit for judging player ability. I'm confident Sconiers could have played productive minutes this season given the woes or Micheaux (travelling, screens setting, and fouling) and Sissoko (turnovers & fouling, plus can't go left). Strande...

The Gophers last two games have been played against teams with depleted rosters that have experienced player transfers and/or injuries. This team plays way better together without Powell - I could have told you that 2 years ago. However, they need to look forward to next season. They are not...

Smith cannot shoot. Michigan State not even defending her.

Powell now with more turnovers (5) than points (4).

Rickman: This coaching staff is here to support the personal accolades of Powell and Scalia - look at their combined volume of shots compared to the team, it's staggering. It's very difficult for the other players to get into rhythm and contribute when Powell and Scalia do not pass (unless to...

I believe we all know the answer to how to get more out of their talent/ potential. Unfortunately , it's not in the cards for two more years.

This incident happened in early 2020 and the fact that both the Bello sisters (Taiye and Kehinde) sat out the following game against Illinois in support of Destiny Pitts says a lot about whose side the players were on. Whatever happened to Destiny Pitts? Oh yea. She transferred to Texas A&M, her...

There is nothing to turn around. The talent is there, the coaching is not. They should have hired the Drake staff after today's game. Drake staff would definitely make changes to style of play and roster.

I'm sure if Strande had played 700+ minutes by now, like Smith, she would be a contributor on both ends. Players need floor time to develop and feel comfortable (that's typically what non-conference games are about). Powell and Scalia struggled when they first got minutes, heck they still...

Smith and Hubbard are too slow for the pace of these games, plus lack of length. Smith is not a scorer and Hubbard is hot or cold. I would like to see more Strande minutes. She gets up and down the court well and is a good shooter. Defense seems good as well.

These results have a lot to do with coaching. Not enough motion in the offense which leads contested shots late in the shot clock or turnovers. The defense .. ugh. Either these coaches are not teaching help defense or players are not understanding rotational defensive concepts. Scalia continues...
