Star Tribune story recently posted does note it is an ACL injury.

We're 9-0 and learning again how to play without Mara Braun. You can complain about the weak non-conference schedule, but I'm going with the team continues to learn and grow.

And maybe it is a chronic foot injury type of problem for Mara. I don't think you can fault the medical care or the staff. Reports note they are working with foot specialists as they determine how to move forward. That's the right thing to do and we all wish the best for Mara. Now, others...

There were probably between 75 and 100 Gopher fans in Tempe between player families, folks who traveled to watch the games and Gopher fans that live around Tempe. No other team, including Arizona State, had more fans that we did! Gopher social media folks were down there posting and providing...

So far nothing noted. Keep an eye on gophersports.com to see if there are any last minute updates. Games will be on the radio on KFAN+ 96.7 FM and the iHeart app.

Game still in progress when this edition of the Minnesota Star Tribune was printed.

If it is BTN+ student announcers at a game I am viewing, I just mute them and listen to Lynnette and Justin (knowing there is a delay).

Game times and broadcast info for almost all of our games were released yesterday. Lots of Big Ten + games as well as a couple of Peacock games to go along with BTN games. Here's the link to the full list and story...

U of M officially announced today that December 20 at the Barn is versus Prairie View A&M. They are a HBCU located in Prairie View, TX.

Floyd of Rosedale returns to Iowa to a standing ovation after a year long exile in the northland.

Gophers will open at home on Monday, November 4 per Dawn at the Fair. Still can't announce who.....but she hopes schedule can be released soon. She also noted it would be a military appreciation night at that November 4 game.

Augsburg coach Ted Riverso has retired after nine years at the school. Riverso was a Gopher assistant under Pam Borton and also spent 1984-1999 at St Thomas. He won a school record 128 games at Augsburg. Mallie Doucette will be the new coach at Augsburg. Enjoy your retirement, Ted!

The post player added is post player 6' 3" Jordan Brooks (CSU Bakersfield). Brooks will provide depth in the post. She went to Bakersfield after two seasons of junior college basketball. Her 2023-24 season was also affected by injury, limiting her to 16 games, during which she averaged 8.0 minutes.

Lisa Bluder has retired today as head coach at Iowa. Here's her statement: https://hawkeyesports.com/news/2024/05/13/lisa-bluder-announces-retirement/

And, for whatever it is worth.....coaches are not recruiting this week - as May 6 - May 12 is a dead period. No contacts allowed.

She was fighting a leg injury for a good part of the season, so we never really got to see what a healthy Ajok could bring.

Long time Stanford assistant (and former Lynx player) Kate Paye is expected to get the job. I would think that would minimize any players leaving the program.
