Gotta play well and win at Home. Only Iowa and Purdue have losing Conference records the rest of the way.

To be consistent, and because I'm one of the fans who wishes the non-con schedule had been less cupcakey, I'm going to think of this stretch of the schedule as Opportunity Row.

As of 1/27, the Gophers strength of schedule is ranked # 126, based on the NET, and #159, based on the RPI. But on an RPI basis, the Gophers are predicted to finish the regular season with a strength of schedule ranked # 81. Opportunity Row will really increase the Gophers' strength of schedule.
 


I'm very optimistic about Iowa and Indiana. Both teams seem to be struggling a bit since they each lost the best player their programs had ever had last year. Oregon looks to be pretty on par with Illinois, which means they're on par with the Gophers and should be beatable on a good day.
 

Chances go up “if” we see Mara back. I don’t know why but I feel like she will surprise us for the Iowa game.
Wonder if she is even practicing at full strength yet.

Agree, but Teri Moren knows how to coach. Unclear if Jan Jensen can be a good head coach. She has struggled this year with lineups and substitutions.
 





These games are going to be exciting! What most fans want. You can't complain about weaker non conference schedules then also complain about conference schedules too. Big 10 is a tough stretch of games period.

someone said she could still play some games this year and still count this year as a redshirt. If this is the case I would determine how many games more she could play and count games backwards from the end of the season and figure out what game that would be. Gets tricky with B1G tournament and potential NCAA, NIT.... but that is how I would determine the most likely game she would return to playing. Anyone have this number of games she can play more at the end of the season and still be eligible for a redshirt?

What I heard is if she comes back this year that they can use the number of games missed this year and last year and apply. It wouldn't be a given. Sounds like it would be a given to get the extra year if she didn't have the return. Not sure if any of this is valid or true so don't hold me to it :)

NCAA seems to be giving 5th years out like crazy almost like candy these days..

Pretty sure medical redshirts require it to be a season-ending injury. But, as others have noted, the NCAA seems to be about to grant all athletes five years.
 


Because she only played a limited number of games at her previous school, before she transferred.
