I don't think it is baffling.  This staff has always struggled to recruit.    Go through the classes, and see how many busts (every staff has some, but our numbers are quite high).   We lose a ton of

Nebraska is hungry for a win after suffering a narrow 80-75 loss at No. 12 Michigan on Sunday.

Scouting The Minnesota Golden Gophers
Lindsay Whalen leads a young group of Gophers in her fifth year as Minnesota's head coach. In a season when teams are loaded with experience across the conference, Minnesota features a starting five loaded with freshmen and sophomores.

Some Players to Watch
True freshman Mallory Heyer joins sophomore Alanna Micheaux as the only Gophers to start all 25 games this season. Micheaux, a 6-2 forward, is averaging 14.1 points and a team-best 8.3 rebounds, while Heyer, a 6-1 forward, has contributed 11.9 points and 7.2 boards. Heyer, who was the No. 55 recruit in the nation according to ESPN out of Chaska, Minn., also has hit 32 three-pointers.

Another true freshman, 6-0 guard Mara Braun, (Think we tried to recruit her  :Drool:) leads the Gophers with 14.8 points per game while connecting on a team-best 49 threes (.336). Braun, who was the No. 28 player in the nation by ESPN out of Wayzata, Minn., has added 2.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.7 steals.

Sophomore guard Maggie Czinano, (you may have heard of her older sister, plays for Iowa :Lol:) recently joined Minnesota's starting five. She is averaging 5.3 points and 4.0 rebounds per game. She ranks fifth on the team in scoring with 8.5 points per contest and a team-best 1.9 steals.

Another graduate guard, Mi'Cole Cayton, is in her seventh :Signhuh: collegiate season after spending two years at Nebraska.

League Play
In Big Ten play, Minnesota is averaging 66.6 points per game, but opponents have dissected the Gopher defense for 80.2 points per contest. Minnesota has produced one of the top rebounding totals in the conference (41.5 rpg) but they have averaged 19.9 turnovers per league game and carry a minus-6.5 turnover margin.

Minnesota is shooting just 27.1 percent from three-point range in the league, and 38 percent overall from the field, while Big Ten opponents are hitting 45.4 percent of their field goals including 33.6 percent of their threes.

A Little History
Although women's basketball was not a full varsity sport at Nebraska until 1975-76, 🥴image.gif a women's team from Nebraska suffered its first defeat at Minnesota in 1904 after going unbeaten in 1897 and 1903. Two weeks after the first meeting with Minnesota, Nebraska beat the same team in Lincoln.

This one worries me, in spite of the records.  "The Barn" is historically a tough place to play, and UM will be hungry to get somebody.  If we play as well as we did at Michigan, I think we would win.  But every game is it's own animal.  Go Big Red!!

I can't understand why there seems to be so many missed lay-ups (Issie has missed two so far this game).

Is it excitement, or the heat of the moment (I know some are contested shots but a lot are uncontested). But even looking at those that go in more than half the time they bounce around on the rim a lot indicating they're not hitting the 'sweet spot.' image.gif☹️

Minnesota by seven at the Half (29-38) (Gophers with another Buzzer-Beater to end the Half - Mara Braun) image.gif☹️

(Minnesota's Largest Lead was Twelve Points)

Minnesota not looking that impressive, but is executing better than Huskers.

Sam is doing nothing.  I hate our end of quarter plays. Sam took the shot too soon and Minnesota went down and scored.  Sam has been a liability on defense.  Where is the effort other than from Bourne?  

 

It’s a physical game inside so we have to deal with it.  Alexis needs to go at the basket to score.  At least Bourne is getting too the line by attacking the basket.  

 

Not many positives so far.

minnesota is not good (because of youth)..........however, athleticism shows through. Stewart has a hard time guarding any of them. i would hope coach preached make michaux go to her right. goodness.

Our lack of quality depth is showing tonight.

Williams doesn’t recruit athleticism.  Sam pre-injuries was about as good as it’s gotten in 7 years.

Minnesota isn't very subtle with their physical play.  

 

You Called it!  Play where Issie gets wiped out is under review.

 

Intentional foul on Micheaux, her 4th foul.  Minny with FOUR players with 4 fouls.

Allison Weidner isn't athletic?

Get out of here with that nonsense. 

Do you watch much Big 10 basketball?  How do we compare athletically?

You said Sam was the best in the last 7 years. I believe Allison is more athletic. I wasn't comparing us against any other team. 

 

I have had season tickets for over 10 years, so I have seen plenty B1G basketball. Sorry for having a different opinion.
