The Golden Gophers are coming off a 71-50 win against Wisconsin on Sunday, where four players scored double digits, including seniors Grace Grocholski, who led the team with 17 points, and Sophie Hart who contributed 16 points and 4 assists. Minnesota has had to adjust to the absence of leading scorer Mara Braun, who has been out indefinitely since sustaining a right foot injury in November. Head coach Dawn Plitzuweit stressed the importance of having a versatile team. 'Everybody has to step up and do a little bit more than they've done in the past, and we're starting to see that come to fruition this year more than we did last year, " said Plitzuweit. 'Last year, when it happened, we were not prepared in the same way that we were this year because our players have had another full year of development.' The Golden Gophers (18-3) opened the season with a 16-1 record, their best start through 17 games in program history, but fell out of the AP Top 25 on Monday. Minnesota now looks to bounce back against USC, though it will be a tough test, as all three of their losses this season have come against ranked teams.
