When No. 7 Green Bay and No. 10 Minnesota meet on Friday, it will feature one of the best defensive teams in the Phoenix against the one of the highest scoring teams in the nation in the Gophers.
Being separated by just under 300 miles away from one another, Green Bay and Minnesota will each travel over 2,000 miles to face off in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at 2 p.m. in Eugene, Ore.
"We felt extremely confident that we were in," Minnesota head coach Marlene Stollings.
"We're playing Minnesota, so we're excited for an opportunity to play," Green Bay head coach Kevin Borseth said.
