The 10th ranked Iowa Hawkeye women will try to bounce back Thursday night when they host Minnesota. The Hawkeyes are 9-2 in the Big Ten after blowout losses at USC and second ranked UCLA. The Gophers have won four straight and are 7-4 in conference play.

Jensen says under third year coach Dawn Plitzuweit, the Gophers have become an NCAA Tournament team.

Jensen says the depth of the Big Ten makes ever game a challenge.
