Yep. Jordan will be back for a 5th season and she will be getting her Masters. If you don’t like 8/9 seeds which I understand, keep winning and get a better seed than 8/9.
How does UCONN get to host the BET for women. Gives them an unnecessary advantage.
Because every BET game will be sold out in Connecticut.
DePaul can be a good recipe at times for a good team that sometimes has trouble scoring the basketball. 20-9 (13-7)MUWBB put up 98 points in a 98-80 win. A nice national tv game showing. Karlen had 26 and 14, Marotta 22, and the Freshmen combined for 30.For perspective, MUWBB had not scored 70 points in a game, in their previous 10 games. Saturday 2:30pm Eastern as the 5 seed bs St. John’s the 4 seed. Some bracketologists have MUWBB ahead of St. John’s as among the final teams in the NCAA Women’s tourney. This is in part due to things like schedule strength, etc…Others have it reversed. Prior to the DePaul game I had seen MUWBB most often as a 9 seed, not one of the last 4 in the tourney. A win Saturday, and MUWBB plays the winner of Connecticut and Butler/Georgetown.https://twitter.com/bigeastwbb/status/1630415879375552513?s=46&t=AIicC3tYytTEhpYJfcG0xw

The Minnesota job is open and I’ve already heard Duffy’s name as a candidate. That doesn’t surprise me with her coaching experience in the Midwest area, her success at MU and she also has big10 coaching experience as an assistant at Michigan. And she played for the Minnesota Lynx.
Historically, Minnesota hasn’t had a lot of Women’s basketball success. Whalen was hired without coaching experience. She makes less money than Duffy. And Minnesota has to pay her 3 more years. Prior to that, multiple coaches used Minnesota as a stepping stone for Maryland and Texas Tech. I would think Duffy could be a little more selective as long as she has continued success.
Marotta's MU career has really been a slow burn, especially since she didn't play her SR year of HS, and then she made a HUGE jump this year, amazing for her. 18 and 9 to end the season starting with the UCONN game where she was an absolute bucket down the stretch. What an end to the career of a member of MUBB royalty.Also, 4 time All-BE Academic Team, likely going to get a 5th this year while snagging an MBA. Remarkable young woman.
Survive and advance - MU beats St. John’s 57-47 and will face number 1 seed UCONN tomorrow at 2P central on FS1. MU will make the NCAA Tournament no matter what at this point in my opinion. They may have gone even with a loss today but a win over fellow bubble team St. John’s likely helped their cause. I’m not sure if they’ll give bids to 5 BE teams but that would be St. John’s concern now and not MU’s.
Villanova - DePaul with a terrific game. Morrow of DePaul really turned it on in second half. Tied less than a minute to go.
