If they lose this game, and there is every indication they will, it'll be because of their awful zone. It doesn't gets stops and Stollings is apparently either too stubborn to change it or they don't work on man-to-man defense. If that's the case, the rest of the season is going to be very frustrating and difficult to watch.
If Richard's team was playing this poorly, people on this board would be ripping him up one side and down another.
Just hideous....Finally get to watch a game and they get smoked by a team on a 7 game losing streak....Talk about pissing away a promising season.....Like the men they will find themselves in the Not Invited Tournament......The zero bench production has finally caught up to the them....They look burned out and disinterested....Stallings really needs to recruit another big inside and better guards for depth.
You are right. Where are the free agents?
The Gophers are a #8 seed in the last bracketology. You don't go from a #8 seed to out with one bad loss. Everyone needs to calm down with the 'season over! NIT!' talk.

This Illinois coach is just giving Stollings a lesson in Basketball Coaching 101.
A lot of newbies bitching and moaning.
Another one of those 'cycles' on GH.
When I played, I loved to see the zone defense. Unless you're extremely quick on the wings, it is so easy to beat. Even a matchup zone. Zone is a " lazy " defense used against teams that have no outside shot. What I noticed about our girls in the 2-3 matchup they don't react quick enough, or anticipate the movement of the ball. Teams found we've a "soft " middle and they're killing us.
Okay, now I've heard it all. Ruppert played women's basketball?![]()

Wagner and Zahui taking this game into their own hands now. Wagner 18 pts, 4-7 from three, Zahui 18 pts, 8 reb. 60-52 with 11 mins left.
Wagner's effort is primarily a second half performance as she only had 4 points at the half.
Not meant like that at all.
It takes a pretty talented player to do their scoring when it is needed in the second half of a game.
