Reporter Maya Aflakpi's Slammin' Post-Game Insights:


In a stunning upset, the Minnesota Gopher women’s basketball team secured a victory against the #1 Big Ten defense, the Michigan Wolverines. This win halted Michigan's 7-0 home win streak and marked the Gophers' first triumph in Ann Arbor since 2014. The game, characterized by a back-and-forth struggle, led to the Gophers taking control in the 4th quarter. Mallory Heyer led the Golden Gophers with a season-high 21 points.

Freshman standout Grace Grocholoski exhibited her prowess with an impressive 19 points, 16 of which were crucially scored in the final quarter. Under Coach Dawn Plitzuweit's leadership, the Gophers displayed newfound resilience.

Key players such as Grocholoski, Heyer, and Mara Braun played pivotal roles. Grocholoski's veteran-like performance, Heyer's intensity and passion that is unteachable, and Braun's proficiency in landing deep 3s contributed to the Gophers' resurgence. BTN commentators even drew comparisons between Braun and Caitlin Clark, highlighting her emerging star power.

This triumph not only signifies a significant win for the Gophers but also establishes them as a strong force in the Big Ten conference, signaling a compelling comeback and a promising future under Coach Plitzuweit's guidance.

Thanks for the write-up Maya. Gopherlady knows PA on KFAN, and Reusse maybe you can bring some positive press to Gophers Women's basketball to those channels. That and JG om KFAN maybe can get him to talk a little on Barrerio show and promote home games. Awesome to have both the Women and Men in basketball playing so well.
