Game 5: Gophers visit Kansas 11-19-25

Kansas had no problem playing 8 players double digit minutes. I know we lost Heyer and Woodson, but if we are going to think 6 players can play heavy load during the good teams every time, I fear it will be difficult.
 

Terrible shooting: 34.4% FG% & 21.7%. Rebounds even (33), FT% about even (80%:82%) but Kansas shot 7 more free throws and made 6 more, and assists even (12). Minnesota had fewer turnovers (11 vs 19), more steals (9 vs 4), more points off turnovers (13 vs 9), and more fast break points (8 vs 2). I couldn't see the game. Did they force their outside shoots, rush, or not get good looks?
All of the above. But the most shocking part is that both Hart and Tonga shot 25%
 

Braun dosen't appear to be 100% and that is going to be an issue early in the year or maybe all year if it is a nagging injury still.
Everybody assumes McKinney took Heyer's spot when in reality Heyer and McKinney should of both started to be more athletic.
Some resemblances to when Destiny Pitts left a few years back, we never recovered.

She seemed to be moving fine, but we can’t run any offense to get her open so we have to settle for terrible 3s. She looked to be cramping again at the end.
 



Very similar roster construction compared to the Men's team. We will almost always be the least athletic team on the court but we make up for it with terrible shooting.

I could tell things were amiss early with air balls and Hart unable to hold onto the ball. I think she went 1-10. Tried too hard to force it into the post without hitting from outside to draw out the defenders. I think Holloway should have played more as she is more athletic than Tonga. Where was Christian tonight? Maybe Klick as well. Hopefully the Bahamas will cure what ailed them tonight.
 

The unathletic front court is gonna be a massive issue all year. Will look like the football team vs superior opponents where you're just totally outmatched and could never win
