GDT: Lehigh Mountain Hawks vs SDSU Jackrabbits 7pm @ Frost Arena

Looks to be moving good for the most part.

Dru's passes were smooth and on target. She had passes that were quick "semi" look vs no look. Hopefully she can add some more minutes on Monday. 29 minutes was the high for Jackrabbit players. 52% FG is very respectable & +16 boards is a great edge. The defense will need to get dialed up for the next game. Mississippi St should bring a better crowd on Monday. At least the students should add a few when they return from the holiday.

yes, my guess is that she is significantly uncomfortable. from everything i understand about her i think she is far too good of an athlete to be getting beaten like that off the dribble. i think she is making it happen with experience, brains, and guts. everyone keeps saying she is going to keep getting better. i hope that is right and she is not just gutting it out all year

that all said she still looks like she has plenty to offer and i think it is gonna be fun to have her!!

Hopefully it's just a matter of gaining the mental confidence with her knee. I don't think they'd put her on the court if she wasn't physically ready to go.

That (in bold) could have been even higher with all the close in shots (bunnies) we missed, as well as the score. But given the outcome, I guess it's kind of nit picky to point to that aspect of their game, maybe it's just a pet peeve of mine is all. Dru made a very good drive to the basket and made it look easy, she's good even though she's not 100% and her three point shooting is a big asset.
When Maddie M gets going. all three freshmen will be great and Natalie reminds me of Megan Bultsma, who started a little slow but developed nicely into a pretty good post player.Very impressed with Madison Mathiowetz's passing and court vision.

Gophers beat Lehigh on a buzzer beater.

Gophers beat Lehigh on a buzzer beater.

Play-by play says Lehigh made bucket with 1 sec left to go up 99-98, Minny TO, Mara Braun hit a three with 1 sec on the clock, now that's a quick release. I knew it probably was her for that shot. Really tough loss for Lehigh.
