This will be our 4th year with season tickets. While we have better seats now, for the first year we were behind the visitor bench about 15 rows up. Due to my husband’s health, we were not able to go to the Iowa (Caitlyn Clark) game. We sold those two tickets and got more than what we paid for...

We watched. It was so fun to see them come from behind and stick those landings on bars, their fourth rotation of the night, where they historically hadn’t done very well. Congrats ladies!

I think that Tori O. is going to be a wonderful player for the Gophers. She may not see a lot of time as a freshman - it depends on how quickly l the coaches develop her. I don’t think she will come in fully ready to play, because the adjustment will not be just in competition level. It will...

It has been a dozen years since we were in the AAU scene, but we noticed a lot more focus on “what you can do offensively”, rather than giving players credit for a very good defense. We had always taught our daughter the philosophy of the best offense is a good defense, and she definitely...

I agree. In her opinion, every young player is “elite” and “going to be hard to pass on in the draft”.

Coach P was at the helm of South Dakota Coyotes team that took part in both of those events. In 2020, they faced South Carolina and Gonzaga. In 2021, they faced South Carolina.

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...

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!

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...

We are bringing 4 newbies with us 😀

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...

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

USC gave up 9 points in the last couple minutes, but still held on for a 12 point victory. They handed Iowa their first conference last.

With about 3 minutes to go in the third quarter, USC has a 14 point lead on Iowa….

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.

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...
