Absolutely.    With the roster being what it is right now, being competitive in a Big 10 game is an accomplishment.   We have won the lion's share of those close games, and the coaches and players des

the addition of Bella Cravens has been huge!

For some reason  I don't yet grasp....our shooting has improved so much. We just seem more relaxed.....it's not so new to them now.. Just fire away. Some of Coach Cook creeping in?   St

Poor shooting and poor perimeter defense in the 4th......we got tired?

 

We did miss Issie today

 

Mershon looked like a different player...was focused...good for her...

..where was that the last couple of years'

 

We seem to lose our player/position in transition defense...we leave people wide open.

Maybe we will heal up a bit by the Monday contest with Illinois.  Sure could use Issie.  Not sure Brady will be in game shape, when she does make it back to playing. Could take a few games.

guess one never knows, but, i doubt illinois will shoot like they did at PBA

Was worried about this game, a lot because of the quick turnaround, but also thought they would match up well with us.  We played hard, but couldn't hit shots in 2nd half, particularly in 4th q.  Our good fortune sort of ran out.  Hopefully we shoot much better with a little rest before Monday's game.   GBR!!

Minnesota shoots a bunch of 3's and they are gonna shoot em well when they are wide open like today. Minnesota has talent but covid and injuries has really hurt them so far. We had a huge mismatch with Cain but didnt really use it.

If Coley could actually play this year.... that is kind if mind blowing.  She would have to be on another level. 

 

To be able to blend in immediately with what's going on is another issue.  As we all know, HS to College is a huge change in intensity, focus, and speed of the game. 

 

Even with Issie and Porter  it took a while for them to get adjusted. They had international play on their resume before getting here.

 

Can only hope I guess. Would be cool for sure.

I wouldnt expect her to play much at all but MInnesota has Borowicz whos an early enrollee as well, been on their team for like 2 weeks and she played a few minutes today. Coley can really shoot the ball so Id expect her to play limited minutes but Id temper expectations for this year.

Not exactly apples to apples but I get what you're saying there.  Brown has proven to be savvy, confident and has executed at a pretty high level for a freshman- and a walk-on at that.  I bet she has been wanting to demonstrate she was scholarship worthy.

Due to a family health emergency I had to miss parts of today’s game.  Maybe just having 7 players caught up to us today, particularly on defending threes and making shots late.  The addition of Coley has to help even if for only a few minutes of court time means a few minutes rest for a key player.

Whitney had all summer with the team to acclimate.  She is really in control of what's going on...she was directing other players where to go ...Whitney the boss :)   She just has that innate desire to play at her maximum every minute.

 

Weidner coming in is another "local" from Ne that is somewhat in the mold of a Whitney (but a little bigger).  Very aggressive, very active overall player. Even though she's in lower class in HS....She's also averaging 6.9 rebounds, 6.7 steals and 6.5 assists per game while shooting 58% from the field at 27 pts/game. Whatch out for her.

I had two take aways from the game.

1) I think we got up by double digits in the first quarter and took them too lightly in Q2

Over confidence can kill.

2) regarding the poor shooting Q4.  Tired legs lend to poor shooting.  Tired legs need to win at the rim or on the line.

I agree that the 2nd qtr was big on Minnesota getting their confidence but I don't think it was over confidence on our part.  I think it was because Haiby had to sit on the bench after picking up her 2nd foul early.  We missed her defense and especially rebounding.  When she was out for an extended period of time that's when they hit their shots and had a lot of offensive rebounds.  We had two freshmen out there at that time and with Scoggins not much length at the guard.
