BREAKING: Gophers WBB has officially been revealed as a Top 16 seed for this year’s NCAA Tournament, which means they will host two rounds at the Barn next week.
Opponents and the full bracket will be announced tomorrow. https://t.co/XBG3eIlHRF
Don’t sleep on Minnesota this upcoming women’s college basketball season. This is a legitimate top-25 team.
The Golden Gophers are coming off a WBIT championship and their first 25-win season in two decades, and they return the backbone of that success. Add top-100 recruit Makena Christian and Kansas State transfer Brylee Glenn, and Minnesota is loaded with talent and depth.
Last season, they went (8-10) in Big Ten play, with five losses by single digits—and they did it without Mara Braun, a career 16-point-per-game scorer. Grace Grocholski, one of the top junior guards entering the season, closed the year averaging (17.9) points and (3.8) assists over the final 10 games, while Mallory Heyer posted five double-doubles in 13 games and should rank among the conference’s top rebounders.
With so many key pieces returning and impactful additions, Minnesota is a program ready to make a statement nationally. ✨
Yesterday, Amaya Battle recorded a 35-point, 10-assist double-double to help Minnesota outlast Gonzaga in overtime and advance to the WBIT Semifinals. Now, she’s looking to carry that momentum into the Golden Gophers' semifinal matchup against Florida.
The Hopkins native has been on fire during tournament play, averaging (22.7) points, (4.7) rebounds, and (5.7) assists.
If Battle can lead Minnesota to a WBIT Championship, it would mark 25 wins on the season, their most since the 2004-05 season when they finished with 26.
