Also major props to the university for believing the gophers could host and keeping dates open!!

I'm wondering if Coach P (rightfully!) stood up and made a fuss after we weren't able to host the first two rounds of the WBIT last year. I remember in a press conference before a WBIT game she seemed perturbed when asked about the conflicts.
 

Anyone who ordered, do they have dates? IE Fri/Sunday or Sat/Monday or is it just list all 4 days and they figure out the schedule later?

Mine have dates, but they say subject to change. Mine are 3/20 and 3/21.

The e-mail to season ticket holders says: Games will occur on either March 20 & 22 -or- March 21 & 23.
 

Again, I bought mine before the event was even awarded, so I knew the dates were wrong.

Possible factor attendance?

Kentucky For the 2025-26 Kentucky women's basketball season, home attendance at Memorial Coliseum has remained a solid part of their home-court advantage, with a reported attendance of 6,250 for their March 1, 2026, game against South Carolina. As of late February 2026, the team has a 12-2 record at home.
For the season about 20,000 more fans than the Gophers.

The Gophers high attendance this season was 7088 when MSU was at the Barn.

Yay! I should send a Thank You Gift Basket to Illinois and Oregon for helping the Gophers out. :)

I'm glad the Big 12 Tournament didn't end up hurting us because I'm happy that West Virginia got a good coach and is having success and wasn't "screwed" by Minnesota poaching Coach P (in quotes because their previous AD who hired her should've known the Gophers would be likely to make a coaching change and she'd be their top target).

Coach P left WV in good shape. She inherited a program where the exiting coach encouraged players to leave. She was able to beat Baylor twice again and get that team to the NCAAT.
 

Who do the Gophers want as the # 5 seed? Kentucky or Ole Miss? Having a hard time figuring out the better matchup for Minnesota.
 






Gophers are in! 4 seed in the Sacramento region. They face Green Bay, who I believe we played them the last time we were in the NCAA tournament.
 

Good position but we have to play balanced ball to win. If we get past GB then Ole Miss n Catie McMahon again

Ole Miss is good but Gonzaga will be no pushover, I do expect them to win. We got one of the more competitive regions. Whittaker from Gonzaga gonna be a player to watch, and we all remember how tough Gonzaga was in WBIT last year. Obviously McMahon from Ole Miss will be tough, we got some entertaining basketball Friday. Buy your tickets its gonna be a really good day of basketball Friday.

Green Bay is coached by one of Dawn's former assistants, Kayla Karius.
 




Gonzaga is coming to Minneapolis to play Mississippi. Gonzaga has former Gopher, I believe one of Coach Whalen’s last recruits to the U, McKynnlie Dalan. They also have a UConn transfer. I think we played them in our WBIT run last year. I’m looking forward to seeing them too. The program has had tourney success in the past, and I wouldn’t mind them having a great night against Mississippi. 😅
 



Very reasonable prices, got lower level $25.77 after fees with the public sale
 

Tickets secured, best available stuck us in the corner lower level. Not complaining, should be fun next to the Barn Yard! Went on right at 10am, hopefully sell out
 

It looks like Krista Blunk and former Lynx Andrea Lloyd are assigned to Minneapolis for the tv broadcast.
 

Bought the round 1 and round 2 package. That means I get access to the ole Miss game also right
