    NCAA Bracket 2024

    The women's bracket it the epitome of chalk. Hopefully some more intriguing outcomes will play out in the 2nd round.

    Transfer Portal 2024

    Nia's minutes for a first season back from an ACL were handled well. I can't believe she expected to ramp up any faster. Highlighted by the 30 solid minutes she played vs Rutgers shows that she's now in a spot to compete for more time next year. I can't believe she'd want to leave that 2023...

    WNIT 2024

    Still 5 days to go. Probably better chance at Hart for the first game.

    B1G Tourney Game 1: Gophers Versus Rutgers (2-6-24)

    Love it. Thanks. So CC against Mich on 2/15 (49 pt night) had a 48 EFF.

    B1G Tourney Game 1: Gophers Versus Rutgers (2-6-24)

    Outstanding night for Amaya! If point guards had game ratings (like QBR in football), Amaya would probably have a 135 rating for last night game. With a perfect 158.3 only achieved by the likes of Clark when she drops 40 pts and a triple double. Some sports nerd should come up with an...

    B1G Game 17 Gophers Host Iowa (2-28-24)

    I'll take the under. How much you want to bet?

    B1G Game 14: Gophers Host Northwestern (2-17-24)

    An inflection point worthy of note: I believe that this is the first game we've won without Mara (feel free to correct me if I've missed one somewhere). She missed the NDSU game last year and we lost. We lost several in a row this year with her missing up until now. So I hope the point isn't...

    B1G Game 13: Gophers visit Rutgers (2-13-24)

    Tanking the season is a ridiculous concept to even discuss. This isn't the NFL. We don't get a higher draft pick for finishing lower. Quite the opposite.

    B1G Game 13: Gophers visit Rutgers (2-13-24)

    Sanders minutes do give Battle some breaks. We don't need her to get injured. And arguably she may learn something by watching another PG with her teammates. Observe what to do better and what not to do at all.

    B1G Game 13: Gophers visit Rutgers (2-13-24)

    Hart's effort shouldn't be questioned. But she isn't suited for a fast pace. If our opponents push tempo, she seems to get worn down. And if we're not hitting a modicum of 3's, then the defense plays closer to the post and is ready with quicker double teams help when she does get the ball...

    B1G Game 13: Gophers visit Rutgers (2-13-24)

    I'm also curious as a whole (not just tonight) how many fast break/transition points we average a game compared to our opponents. We just never get those easy baskets, nor do we try, which can often result in our opponents fouling. Even when we break a press or get a quick outlet, the forward...

    B1G Game 13: Gophers visit Rutgers (2-13-24)

    Coach P, you seem to know how to coach, but you've got to reel in your team and get their heads on straight. As a former point guard, teach Battle how to be a floor general (she did dish out a great amount of assists tonight) and to abandon reckless drives to the hoop. She just hasn't...

    Gopher WBB "Fans" ....Are you serious?

    I'll draw a connection to our favorite Lady Gophers era. I believe it loosely applies. In 2004 Lindsay Whalen broke her hand with about 5/6 games left in the BIG10 season. Many thought that would derail the season - and we did indeed lose a couple late games that we most likely would have won...

    B1G Game 11: Gophers Visit Michigan State (2-5-24)

    Holloway and Czinano are D1. Time will tell if they are worthy of starting in the BIG or other Power 5 conferences. Holloway definitely a bigger upside in athleticism. But D1 worthy isn't in question.

    Coach Dawn Plitzuweit's First Season

    This year is tougher to assess with Braun's injury. A very young team with a short bench would find struggles after losing any starter, let alone their primary scorer. Next year should be interesting as experience and depth both improve. Grocholski and Holloway will both see a jump...

    B1G Game 11: Gophers Visit Michigan State (2-5-24)

    Our top 8 (including Braun) are all D1. Without a doubt. Some have some development yet to become elite D1 performers. But as many have mentioned, they are young. Also as some have mentioned, the issue is depth and some of the roster are lower caliber project recruits that were needed to...

    Women's BB NIL

    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.

    B1G Game 8: Gophers Visit Wisconsin (1-23-24)

    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.
