(Minneapolis, MN) — The University of Minnesota women’s basketball team hosts sixth-rated Iowa tonight at Williams Arena at 8 P-M. The injury-riddled Golden Gophers are 15-12 on the season overall and 5-11 in the Big Ten. They have dropped eight of their past nine games. The visiting Hawkeyes enter tonight’s game at 24-4 overall and 13-3 in the conference. They are paced by guard Caitlin Clark, who helped Iowa to a 94-71 win over Minnesota in Iowa City on December 30th. Iowa leads the all-time series at 59-27.

Gopher senior guard Janay Sanders says she is excited about Senior Night tonight.

Sanders says she has enjoyed her final season of college ball in Minnesota.

Sanders says she knows she has to step up in the absence of the injured Mara Braun.

Sanders says they remember the first meeting against the nationally-ranked Hawkeyes in December.

Sanders says Iowa star Caitlin Clark is a tough challenge.

Sanders says she is looking forward to playing in front of a sold out crowd.
