Sure hope they get to a 7 seed with the Maryland win.

Ending up in the perfect position is hard sometimes with the way posts beat the crap out of each other.

They did lead the league in defensive team scoring, rebounding and opponents 3 pt shooting %. I think something that's often overlooked is smarts which Amy puts a high priority on.

21-10

Potts is tall, lean, athletic, fast, smart, determined and only a freshman. Works for me.

Better substitutions today.

Sure as hell don't want to be an 8 or 9 seed in the South Carolina regional. Beating M.S. maybe would get us to a 7 but with the Rutgers loss that may be even a long shot.

That's exactly how Fred Hoiberg does it.

It will be interesting to see our substitution format tomorrow.

Yes I thought the same thing about the statement on Anni and Maddie. If that holds true we will have 4 open scholarships for next season. Also Allison is taking a redshirt this year so will have 2 more years.

I think Freshman of the year is important as they are all in the same category that being that they were all in High School last year. As for a portal player they could have basically anywhere from one to five years of experience playing for a different team. That being said I could see adding a category for newcomer of the year like they do 6th player.

Don't forget about Amiah Hargrove at the swing guard position. She can shoot the ball and is a pretty complete player. No. 2 rated player in Illinois.

If my math is correct and all the players on the present roster that can return do so, we will have 2 scholarships available for next season which then goes up to 3 or 4 if Maddie and or Anika leave. For 2025 we presently have 6 unaccounted for scholarships that we could use.

Maybe they don't have a camera guy on a too big of a mobile cart that someone making a fantastic defensive hustle play runs into hitting her knee on the front edge of and tears her ACL.

I believe the TV announcer said she has "turf toe". That can be very painful but usually doesn't have long term effects. It is more common in FB.

I agree there will be scholarships available even if we pick up a couple of portal players for next season. We have been in competition with Creighton for talent over the years but that is starting to swing our way a bit with Potts this year and Prince and Hargrove next year. The Big Ten stage is getting much bigger for next season with 4 very good programs that have great history coming in. Also don't under estimate our facilities and fan support which are pretty much second to none.

Amongst all her accolades one of the things that excite me the most is we will finally have someone who consistently can hit pull up 15 ft jump shots.

It's not always how many minutes you get but how you use them.

Juniors.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Bluder retire after this year.

One of the signs of a great player is making hard plays look easy.

They will be lucky to end up in the top half of the expanded conference.

The odds are that we will get several players from the portal. Gut feeling.

I totally agree. I think she will graduate this spring and may want to finish a masters program here. She knows our staff,team and opportunities for playing time. She seems to be recovered from her early season injury and it will be interesting to see her playing time and contributions in our remaining games. Maddie K. may move on as she graduated last August and we will be gaining 4 guards while losing 2. We presently will have from 2 to 4 open scholarships next year depending on who goes or stays.
