I think the Gophers take that next step this year as long as they remain healthy. OUr guards bring another year of experience and are ready to lead, our bench got deeper, Kadi has another year under her, got some inside help with a grad transfer, got another shooter to complement Hubbard and Scalia. The Big will be tough, but I see the gophers competing to win this year.

I like the continuity we have with all but 1 player returning. I think that will help us on the defensive end. If we can improve from poor to even average defensively i see us in the top half of the conference.

I hope we see the Big ten send a team or teams to Minneapolis.
