Gophers meet the Hatters:
"Minnesota plays all zone (defense), and Boise's all man (-to-man). We work on that stuff every day in practice," Bria said. "What's hard to simulate when it comes to Minnesota is their size ... and they shoot the ball very, very well."
Bria may also finally have her full complement of players available. Starting guard DeAsia Beal sat out Monday's 61-45 win over Division II Armstrong State with a minor knee injury but is expected to return Friday. Sophomore forward Sarah Sagerer missed the opening two games due to illness, but tallied 15 points, seven rebounds and three blocks against Armstrong State.
Sagerer said she's not fully up to speed when it comes to game shape but will give the Hatters desperately needed size. Minnesota features seven players who stand at least 6-foot-1...
Junior Brianti Saunders, the team's lone returning starter, paces the Hatters with 16.5 points but has had to adapt to her transition to point guard. She's committed 13 turnovers, and her shooting has dipped from 49 percent in 2014 to 40.9 percent this season.
