    BIG Game 17: Gophers host Michigan State, Feb 22nd!

    It’s usually before the game for most teams that I have watched. In our five years with Coach P, it was always beforehand, and then she pulls the seniors one by one at the end of the game for hugs and high fives.

    We also want St. Thomas to succeed, and I really like Ruth. However, my husband has confirmed that she definitely is retiring this year. It’ll be interesting to see which direction they go for head coach. I know she’s been grooming Maddie McKeever, but I don’t think Maddie is ready to take over...

    She had good numbers in high school, especially in the State tournament again against Providence Academy. I remember watching and noticing her. She did not play very high-level for AAU (Comets), but like many posts, she could be a late bloomer. Ruth Sinn tends to get a certain type of player...

    As a Summit League fan, I have watched this team and these players quite frequently over the past few years. I would say that Koenen could be a very good fit. Frost would be a maybe. It will be interesting to see how these two do in the Summit League and NCAA tourneys. As for the other two, I...

    BIG Game 16: Gophers host Ohio State, Feb 18th

    Often, when “voters” are looking at Most Improved, MVP, and other conference awards, they look at points first and foremost. They might look at other things as well, but points is always the first thing they look at. And due to that a lot of posts / centers / bigs get overlooked, because while...

    That game was so fun that it was totally worth the extra 30 minutes of extremely intense driving each direction!

    Four B1G Ones Coming - Tournament Seeds Final Run - Gophers Defense and Offense System Explained Too

    I agree with a lot of what was said in that post. The 4 out 1 in motion is what they ran most of the time. However, in her first year, it was more of a 5 out until they realized the presence that she had in the middle. And especially that first year, it took a little while to get the...

    BIG Game 15: Gophers @ Badgers, Feb 15th!

    GG is getting frequent touches on offense. However, she sees the floor really well and recognizes when somebody has a better shot than her. Either due to the additional coverage she is drawing, or somebody making a good cut, she chooses not to shoot and is instead making good passes. I love that...

    BIG Game 12: Gophers @ Iowa, Feb 5th!

    We need to stop that baseline cut, that they got several of their early baskets off of.

    B1G Game 10: Gophers Go to Penn State, January 28 5PM CST.

    She does play very good on-ball defense. However, she has a tendency to dribble into heavy coverage, and not plan her next move. She should be looking to where she’s going to pass, if necessary, rather than just focusing on the basket.

    B1G Game 10: Gophers Go to Penn State, January 28 5PM CST.

    Another thing, if Mara starts hitting reliably, maybe the defense will loosen up a little on Grace. She has struggled to get open looks in the past couple games because they have been double teaming her. If we can have more dependable shooting from Mara, Tori, Amaya, etc., other teams won’t be...

    B1G Game 9: Minnesota Gophers Host Wisconsin Badgers Jan. 25

    I do not mind the BTN announcers at all, especially after listening to Summit League announcers for five years. While some of them were very good indeed, some of them were so uneducated and homer-ish, very annoying to listen to. Appreciate what we have, because you don’t know how bad it could be.

    B1G Game 9: Minnesota Gophers Host Wisconsin Badgers Jan. 25

    Early in the season, I was not very impressed with Tonga. Especially her footwork, but also her follow-through. However, as the season has progressed, I am really appreciating her game. You can tell that they have been coaching her up. This staff is very good at developing post players, and I’m...

    Players have a lot of reasons for choosing one school over another, and a lot of girls do not want to stay home. They want to go somewhere new and exciting. They have done some travel for AAU, and have seen some things, and want to experience more of that. I think that we need to focus on...

    Taylor was at the end of the bench when were at the Maryland game. I only know that because people around us were saying hi to her.
