The Big Ten Women's Conference Tournament field is set. The Minnesota Golden Gophers (20-10, 8-10) will enter the conference tournament as the No. 13 seed.
The Gophers enter the tournament on a two-game losing streak and losers in four of their last five games. They'll hope that a short reprieve will allow them to get back to their winning ways that saw, at one point this season, hold a 19-6 record including 8-6 in conference play.
First up for the Gophers will be the Washington Huskies. The Huskies (18-12, 9-9) defeated the Gophers just days ago on February 26, 72-62 at Williams Arena. The rematch on Wednesday will be the opening game of the conference tournament with tip-off set for 2:30 p.m. CT. The game will be on Peacock.
If the Gophers are victorious, they'll advance to face No. 8-seeded Oregon Ducks on Thursday. The winner of that matchup would then advance to a matchup on Friday against the fourth-seeded Maryland Terrapins. Minnesota notably lost both their previous matchups to Oregon and Maryland.
The Gophers have never won the Big Ten Tournament since its inception in 1995.
