This is a new forum, started after the previous (lamented) one was closed. As I recall, there was some reluctance to start a forum within Gopherhole for women's basketball because the site hadn't received much women's bball traffic at that time, but then it was pointed out that many folks from...

Might be time to reconsider the gophersports.com banner ad with images of Lindsay, Destiny and Tayiye, which just now is still the one that welcomed me to the women's bball page on the site.

That makes no sense. She has five years to complete four years of eligibility, 2 1/2 of which she has completed, apparently. You think she'd like to play next season at a new school and then only the first half of the season after that?

Wait. Sissoko is available? I thought she was ineligible for the whole season?

Creme likes OSU not "merely" because of scheduling but because that Louisville win is one of the best OOC wins in the country.

Did I miss someone posting this already? She's conference co-player of the week https://bigten.org/news/2019/12/9/minnesota-ohio-state-and-penn-state-earn-weekly-womens-basketball-awards.aspx

I feel like reckoning with Notre Dame is a big problem for both sites. Especially at the beginning of the season, I think last year's results are still a big factor, which becomes less the case as the season progresses. Last year's results are not going to be a good indicator at all of how Notre...

Not the whole game, obviously, but the Gophers are posting some highlights on Twitter: https://twitter.com/GopherWBB (They're up big)

Are you reading the wrong year, maybe? Nolan currently projects a 47 RPI and a 40 SOS (both of which would put the Gophers on the bubble). Tangentially, those last handful of games this season are going to be TOUGH.

Ironic that Notre Dame, typically scheduled as an RPI boost, is dragging down the RPIs of Michigan State, Minnesota and Michigan.

I guess that Real Time one-point loss (changed today to a one-point win) isn't looking like such a bad call, after all. Still think MN pulls this out. but...

This doesn't quite fit in this thread but not sure where it does: I'm curious to know if anyone has any insight into Christianna Carr? I recall her seeming like a big deal on this or the previous board until Kansas State essentially bought her services by giving her dad a job. She's a sophomore...

I know it's meaningless at this point and I assume the algorithm is still relying on data from last year, so it's useless, but now Real Time has decided the Gophers will beat Geo Washington. But still lost to 2-5 American (and most of their losses are not good losses). I'm going to go ahead and...

Gophers' contribution (and, at least to me, a hugely surprising OSU win over Louisville) helps the B1G win the challenge for the first time ever.

Looks like it is on Watch ESPN (streaming), so that may be an option. I wonder if any sports bars are apt to have the game tuned in? The BWW by the Barn?
