Yup, she's on the roster. http://wnbl.com.au/uc-capitals/players/ Sounds like Griffin will join after rehabbing her injury.

I think she was cut from the Sky and might be in Australia playing on the same team as Griffin (who switched to Canberra I think)? Or I could be way off base.

Except Frost has experience.

How is the Whalen hire going to work? Does she have any coaching experience? She is still playing with the Lynx - has she hired a coaching staff already to cover for her this summer? Honestly, if I was a Gopher fan I don’t know that I’d feel very good about this. At least get someone in with experience and maybe hire her as an assistant so she can learn the ropes of coaching at a Power 5 school. Or am I missing something?

I agree. I suspect it may have been a mutual parting between JS and NU and NU helped her out with the waiver. Now ND owes us one!

She made a huge mistake by committing to the program at such a young age. She didn't want to be here and it really showed, especially her final year at NU. The program is better off without her - it's Romeo that we really missed.

So were the refs at the end when they didn’t whistle Mabrey for that foul.

We do have that Moos connection to Wash St. to help us out. And wasn’t her coach fired? If she applied for a waiver she might get it based on some things NCAA has done recently, but you never really know with them.

B1G is a major VB conference - has that hurt WBB? If so, how? Is it possible to be a big-time nationally competitive conference in both those women's sports?

Seems like she had a lot of foul trouble.

So about the only way is if she is getting her degree in 3 years instead of 4. I don’t think she is 22 this year but I could be wrong.

Does she (or can she) leave for the WNBA already? I wondered about that after her performance last night.

Ok, ladies. Wake up

I think Bria and Janay need to be out there most of the rest of the game.

Ekmark just got RB’d!!

Dang, would have been nice to have gotten Ibis.

I’d be willing to schedule UConn again. Tough game but we could learn a lot from it.

I actually don't really care to play Creighton every year. Not sure a win is much of a gain for us and a loss certainly hurts. But I imagine with it being an in-state rivalry we will always have them on the schedule. Unless one of the schools has an issue with Yori advising Creighton and not wanting to cause some sort of weird athletic department issue by playing against her former employer.

Is it a bit of a fluke that all of those teams got in the tourney this year? I wouldn't want to play all 3 next year because I'm betting most of the time only one of them gets in the tourney. I may be very wrong about that, feel free to correct me.

Who would you like to see us schedule non-con next season? If we had had a bit tougher non-con, we may not have needed to sweat it out so much during the selection show. At the same time, we needed those easier games to build confidence in our young players this season. Next season is a different story, though. I think we can schedule a couple of tougher teams early on to get our RPI and SOS a bit stronger. Would be nice to schedule some teams that we also stand a decent chance of beating. I've always wondered about Stanford. Sometimes it seems Stanford starts slow but then rallies at the end of the year. Not sure how we match up, but I'd like to think it would be a good game and it's a team we have rarely played (have we ever played?). How about an Ivy League school? Not sure why I'm stuck on the smart schools right now but I am. There are some solid mid-major schools out there that might be worth scheduling. I think we played South Dakota State a few times several years ago, and there are usually the team to beat in the Summit League. Coach is certainly familiar with them. Any thoughts?

Did anyone notice how ESPN had NC State as a Big 10 Team?

Congrats to the Huskers! And OU never should have made it in.

Isn’t Lindsey Moore on staff at ASU?

Shit we made it!!!

Yeh, I don’t have a good feeling looking at some of these teams that got in.
