    WBB TV Ratings

    Before the recent Caitlin-Clark era boomlet, 2004 was a big year for WBB TV ratings, including the Gophers (see # 10 above).

    WNIT 2024

    If the WNIT ends up with a Minnesota-Purdue final (as may be likely), which team will get to play at home? Purdue (NET 71) and Minnesota (NET 66) are the only double-digit NET-ranked teams in the field.

    NCAA Bracket 2024

    Impressed with both Agara and Woodson this year as freshman from Hopkins.

    NCAA Bracket 2024

    Iowa has a very tough matchup tomorrow night in the hardest of the four brackets. West Virginia is by far the best # 8 seed this year (ESPN and CBS had them as a 6 seed; 21 NET, highest NET for an 8 seed in the 4-year NET era). West Virginia is also stylistic trouble for Iowa, which Iowa can't...

    WNIT 2024

    Agree, but I am expecting such a run. Coach P showed in the non-conference that the team can handle weak competition, and that is what’s on tap.

    NCAA Bracket 2024

    Michigan was part of a weak Big Ten middle this season, especially as compared to last year's very strong middle. Kim Barnes Arico is really wasting Laila Phelia. Will be interesting if Phelia and next year's highly-ranked freshman can have a special season.

    Minnesota provides a financial guarantee to the tournament sponsor for the privilege of hosting each game, correct?

    State Tournament 2024

    Second time seeing McKinney this weekend, and she seems like a much better player on offense than Holloway, even if not a great shooter. McKinney's handle, speed and length all help her on offense a great deal as a wing/guard. McKinney can help make an offense function. McKinney looks much...

    Doubt there will be another BTT hosted here

    On the WBB side, thought there was a lot of buzz for the Detroit bid. Perhaps I misunderstood the tea leaves.

    B1G Tourney Game 2: Gophers Versus Michigan (2-7-24)

    Signs of promise tonight from Johnson and Madol. Both are pieces that can help. But so much depends on Braun and finding a portal piece that can pressure defenses. Without players who can breakdown a defense, Heyer and GG become near liabilities on offense. Neither did much tonight, and...

    Coyle: "If everybody comes back we'll be a top-25 team preseason next year"

    Laying the ground work to scam season ticket holders yet again with a crummy home non-conference schedule?

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

    Agreed. Even 1 win, then an exit, might be the beginning of a change in fortunes in the BIG tourney. In the previous 30 BIG tourneys, the Gophers have only won 11 games total (11-30), dead last in BTT winning percentage, and 4 wins behind Wisconsin and Northwestern.

    Post-season eligibility

    But the Gophers have steadfastly refused to list either as out for the season. Hedging has been surprising in case of Braun.

    Scoggins on watching Clark

    BIG schedule is only going to be 18 conference games. Only 1 double play. USC’s double play is likely UCLA.

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

    I've been impressed with Coach P's recruiting-evaluation skills. GG, for example, had an unimpressive offer list, both before committing to ASU, and after de-committing and then committing to West Virginia. GG's athleticism deficit is no doubt the reason for this. But she can play, and really...

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

    Ajok Madol not on injury report for tonight. Will we see her tonight? Can she possibly get a medical redshirt waiver, despite appearing in 10 games?
