The Minnesota Golden Gophers volleyball team finally is ready to have their name called when they will begin the weirdest season of their lives on Saturday. The entire 2020 year was skipped and the traditional fall sport will be played over a tight eleven week stretch in the spring. But the #7 ranked Golden Gophers are ready to take on an absolutely loaded Big Ten once again and earn one of a reduced 48 spots in the NCAA Tournament in April.
When the Gophers take the court on Saturday at the Pav when they host Michigan State, it will be an incredible 401 days between that match and the last time they were on the court at the 2019 NCAA Final Four semifinal against Stanford.
