Looking at their roster, they are much deeper (and generally taller) than the Gophers in the forward position. Hopefully we are faster and more adept at scoring.

Very excited for the game tonight. Might be the best matchup (closely matched teams) of the season so far. The Real Time RPI predicts a 4 point victory for Minnesota (RPI 118) over wake forest (RPI 78). Will be interesting to see if it plays out that way, I feel confident the Gophs have improved a lot on their road trip so will that continue to seem to be the case? will the home court advantage also give them an additional boost?
We will need our actual RPI to be better than 118 to have a good shot of an NIT berth or close to 500 conference record.

Awesome shares.
If Minnesota can get the defense up to around middle of the pack (points allowed and points off turnovers) Minnesota should be around 60-70 next year. For comparison teams like Indiana and Ohio State start 4 seniors, juniors, or grads.
I love that Ohio State has jumped to #4 in the nation with "only" an 82 score. That's the power of the on ball turnover and score OS defense that I think would translate to the Gophers more frequently.
Of course, it takes players that can do that without getting roasted - not for good scorers like Scalia to do.
These new Gophers may do that.
Yes I know that horse is beaten to death.
Love that OS defense, #4 in USA.

I do think the sample size is rather small so some teams are probably over rated RPI wise i.e. Penn State @ #6? or Under rated i.e. Ohio State @ #82? I think once we hit 10 things will have stabelized a lot. I think that because my recollection is that is about the number that the NET rankings kick in?

The first NCAA NET rankings are usually released the first Monday, or so, in December. That should mean next Monday.

2-11 for us might be considered frigid shooting, lol.

Katie needs to understand spacing n flow instead of looking 4 her shot . Battle looks more comfortable @ the point.

I was trying to think of GOOD mid major players who could produce and give this team some experience…. These high major transfers who averaged 1.8 points a game at their previous stop aren’t the answer… IMO…

They made their lay ups more difficult than they needed to be. It was a bad night for Battle to have her worst game in her young career.
