Tell me about the NEW Big Ten

How about them Gophers!? AP Top 25 on the year. Congrats Gophers!!! Of course, we play Maryland on Tuesday so we will see how long this ranking last.

Gophers Ranked No. 24 in AP Poll - University of Minnesota Athletics

If only Paige had stayed home like CC? Gophermania! or Groundhog Day?

Bueckers and Tessa Johnson would have been nasty.

Watched Iowa/Nebraska last night. Good game. Hawks really blew the win by bricking free throws at the end of regulation so the game went OT with the Huskers winning in Iowa City. The Hawk/Husker games have been really entertaining games the last few years. Couple of Clark triple doubles if I recall correctly and OT in the conference tourney in Mpls last season to.

Observation, Syla Swords and Olivia Olsen of Michigan and Rutger's Kiyomi McMiller are getting all of the freshman PR but dang, the Huskers freshman point guard Britt Prince is looking REALLY good.

Throw Olivia Olson in as another Minnesotan we really wanted home with the Gophers. Averaging 16 pts a game as a freshman for Michigan.

Was looking at the schedule and the 16-2 Gophers are in for a rough Big Ten schedule stretch. Already had to play Top 10 Maryland on the road but they also get UCLA, USC and Ohio State on the road for four Top 10 roadies in conference play. Throw in @ ranked MSU for good measure. Yikes.

She doesn't get talked about enough in BIG10 conversations. I'd have her above McMiller personally.

The Gophers played Maryland tough the other day, for a few quarters. I was impressed. That is a brutal stretch of games for the Gophers, but they will get through this stretch.

Watching McMiller and Swords compete against each other for the first time today. Man, talk about contrasting styles. Felt like McMiller was trying to do everything on her own where Swords was like a Swiss Army knife doing a little bit of everything, including great defence on McMiller.
