Other B1G Non-Conference Games 2022-23

It was disappointing to lose Scalia, Powell, and Sissoko, however I felt like each of them thought they were the star and they didn't share the ball well. The chemistry and
enthusiasm seem so much better this year. This year, the players are trying to be a team and they move the ball around and share the ball more. I hope they have a better record this year but they might not. I think they will continue to try hard to improve.

 

[MNGirlsHoops]

I agree, mostly for team chemistry.









Sissoko came on the last few games and she has talent but Heyer looks very solid now and will only get better. She might not be quite as good around the basket but she is more trustworthy with the basketball and she can stretch the floor where Sissoko couldn't. I was always puzzled Sissoko didn't rebound better than she did, and wasn't that good defensively either.

I still expect modest improvement over last year since Sissoko was not that great most of last year, Powell was gone for the meat of the season last year, we have Katie back and Braun is better than Scalia already and then we have Battle who is a stud already along with 2 post players that can score with Rose's improvement and Oberg has good feet and touch but she is kind of slow up and down the court. I like Oberg over Sconiers or Helgren. Sconiers wasn't fast either and Oberg displays more touch and confidence in the post too. Helgren provided nothing offensively, she was no threat and her presence put so much extra pressure on our guards because of it.

I like your optimism, but probably need to wait to better competition, which exposes weaknesses.

Notre Dame up 73-53 over Northwestern at the end of three in game that has seen four technicals and four ejections.

Northwestern's ejections were for leaving the bench when a double technical was called on a foul shot block out during the second quarter. ND's Olivia Miles was involved in the double technical. The Wildcats Walsh, Shaw and McWilliams were ejected for coming on to the court.

Then in the third quarter Miles was involved in another double technical for chirping with a Northwestern player which sent Miles to the locker room.

Other than that, the game has been pretty dull.

In case you missed it last night, Iowa lost. Clark sprained her ankle (maybe) on the final possession getting the ball thrown into her. I didn't see her land on anyone's foot so not sure how it happened. She was helped off the court but walked out of the arena. I'm writing it off as more of her theatrics until confirmed injury. Czinano was fouled on the last possession but it was about a half second after the game clock expired. Was kinda hoping it went to OT to see if Clark would've came back on the court.

Wow. I checked the score late and didn't realize they lost. Thanks for that!

Iowa barely won the two games before that.

I will be going to the Minnesota-Iowa game, if the weather is safe to drive.

Sorry to hear about Clarke's injury. Well maybe now odds increase that the Gophers win!



QUOTE FROM ARTICLE: "The game came down to a final play, with Iowa having the ball and needing to score in 3.8 seconds.

The first disaster for the Hawkeyes was they didn't score. The second one was All-American Caitlin Clark appearing to hurt her ankle and needing to be helped off the court after the final buzzer sounded.

Clark was in clear pain in the backcourt as the Hawkeyes played on, ending the game with a contested miss from All-Big Ten center Monika Czinano." END QUOTE

No. 4 Iowa upset by Kansas State, and possibly loses All-American Caitlin Clark to ankle injury

The Hawkeyes had injury added to upset on Thursday.

Nebraska better hope Haiby comes back soon because they desperately miss her. They really need someone that can get to the basket and create offensively. The step down from her to Brady/Hake/krull is massive.

PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas — The Marquette women's basketball team (4-0, 0-0 BIG EAST) earned its highest-ranked win in program history Saturday afternoon as it took down #3 Texas 68-61 in the first round of the Battle 4 Atlantis.

"It's an incredible night for us to kick off our first night here beating Texas, this is one of the best wins in program history for Marquette," said Marquette head coach Megan Duffy. "I'm so proud of Rose (Nkumu) and Jordan (King), but also our entire team for giving every ounce of energy. Our toughness was incredible tonight, I thought we played smart, tough basketball."

In what was a near start-to-finish lead for MU, the Golden Eagles got out to a strong start and turned efficient offense into a 20-14 lead after a quarter, with seven different MU players getting in the scoring column in the first ten minutes. Both offenses fell stagnant in the second quarter, shooting a combined 8-for-35 in the period, but Marquette was able to remain on top as it took a 31-28 lead into the locker room.

MU came out of the gates firing in the third quarter, led by a 6-0 personal run by junior guard Rose Nkumu on three Marquette steals, but the Longhorns closed out the quarter on a 12-0 run to make it a one-point MU lead heading into the final frame.

#23 Tennessee lost again, this time to Gonzaga. I wonder if Powell will quit mid-season again. She contributed 7 points on .268 field goal shooting, 0-1 (.000) on 3-pointers, 4 assists, and 2 turnovers.

Ohio State obliterated Wright State 105-52.

And that was without star guard Jacy Sheldon who leads the team in assists (26) and a whopping 27 steals. Without Sheldon the team racked up 26 assists in the game.





Ohio State as a team seems to produce from many players rather than one superstar like Caitlin Clarke. That takes time. For example, last season seven players had 100+ rebounds but none had 200+. Five players had 60 or more assists.

Caitlin sprained her ankle in the Southern game. It just depends on how it holds up. As far as theatrics that's not the case.

Nebraska earned a convincing 73-44 win against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in the Puerto Rico Clasico.

"After Nebraska women’s basketball endured shooting struggles for multiple games, a change in scenery — to the Puerto Rico Clasico — helped NU turn the page in a 73-44 win over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.

The Huskers (4-2) hit 11 of 26 3-pointers Friday afternoon. Forward Annika Stewart — one of Nebraska’s top perimeter shooters — had a career-high 23 points off the bench, hitting a trio of treys. Allison Weidner — returning from a left-eye injury — had 13 points and five rebounds. Alexis Markowski had 10 points and 10 rebounds, as well.

“We got lots of great contributions, particularly off our bench,” NU coach Amy Williams said on her postgame radio show. “When the ball’s going through the basket, everything just seems to operate better.”"

Minnesota opens the Big Ten season next Saturday against Penn State at Minnesota (on Big Ten Network or get tickets).

Guard Makenna Marisa leads Penn State in scoring and assists. She's earned some accolades. She was the #58 prospect in 2019 per ESPN HoopGurlz.

Freshman point guard Shay Ciezka was the #56 2022 prospect. The Gophers will be seeing more of her in future years.

#21 Baylor about to tip off with a matchup against #22 Michigan on Flohoops. This should be a good game.

Michigan defeats Baylor.

Michigan is 7-0 on the year.

I think Michigan was a bit underrated entering the season because Naz Hillmon went onto the WNBA.

I think next season the Gophers will be right there with Michigan. Just have to keep on, keeping on.
