You may have a valid criticism of the non-conference schedule, but the conference schedule is not something the coach or AD have any control over; it's set by the Big 10 front office. And did you happen to notice that last year we played both Michigan and Ohio St.? And did you also notice that...

Just to point out... OSU had a run/pass mix of 465/408 last year. That's right more run than pass.

And let's not forget that Keegan shot 39.8% his last season at Iowa and is now shooting at 41.4% as an NBA rookie against better, quicker defenders with the line 3-4 feet farther out. It isn't unreasonable to believe that Kris could make the same percentage increase. And there are a number of...

A lot of posters here thought Keegan should come back for another year... and he's only set the NBA rookie record for made 3-pt field goals while shooting a respectable 41.4% as well has helping the Kings to the playoffs for the first time since the 2005-2006 season. I'd say he's done OK.

Didn't know the extent of her injuries. Thanks for the update.

I think it will be harder to replace Warnock. She got a LOT of clutch rebounds and is an ideal stretch 4 who can also run the floor well and even able to bring the ball up the court on occasion. I think if O'Grady puts in the work this off-season she can be a more than adequate 5. Maybe Ava...

He's probably 6'2" in mud cleats and wearing his helmet....

I saw that and asked my wife "WTF is that??!?!" Neither of us could figure it out.

So why did St. John's hire 70 year old Rick Pitino? They are definitely in a complete rebuild - haven't made the NCAA tourney since 2014.

One aspect of her game that no one has mentioned is her speed with the ball. She can outrun nearly all opponents while dribbling down the court and the opponents struggle just to try to get in front of her. That part of her game will translate to the next level - speed is something you would not...

Yeah, they don't make a lot compared to the men (which is why so many elect to play in Europe). But also realize that the NBA makes around $10 BILLION while the WNBA has lost about $10 million annually for the last 5-7 years. The NBA basically subsidizes the WNBA.

Hey, I resemble that comment! I still have my Computer Geeks t-shirt from the early 90's. And personally I'd never call Jobs a "computer geek" - that was Wozniak. Jobs was a marketing guy.

Depends upon what the next batter does. Two doubles gives you a run and a runner in scoring position; a home run gives you a run and possibly (likely) an out.

Well, if you recall.... Sanders played behind a guy who was pretty good: Thurman Thomas.

I was willing to watch to the end, but the wife was resigned to them losing and with about 1:45 left... we went grocery shopping. We ran into some friends while at the store and they were telling us about the amazing comeback and win. Thank God for the "Matthew Loves Ball" channel on YouTube!

So, he's just going to come in and overtake the top two running backs for them? Mockobee and Downing?

From your reply you are conflating hooking, using either your arm from the shoulder to elbow or entire arm in order to force the defender behind you to get a favorable position to shoot a layup, and hook and hold, where the player makes sure the defender's arm is held in position by grabbing...

Holmes got the ball and did a hook and hold to keep Czinano's arm next to her, then she traveled and then she forced up a shot while only releasing the hook and hold to shoot. After watching Holmes closely for two games (against Iowa) and casually in other games, I've come to the conclusion that...

OK, I don't get the "change things up" mentality. How many of those missed three pointers were wide open? The sets worked fine. I'd guess about half of our three pointers were wide open - not open enough that they can reach for a drink from the bench before shooting, but they had plenty of space...

Clearly too many missed your "War Games" take on this... well played!
