A 15-day break didn’t affect the University of Minnesota women’s basketball team.
The Golden Gophers hadn’t played since March 5 when they lost to Washington in the Big Ten tournament and hadn’t won since Feb. 19.
Until Thursday.
No. 2 seed Minnesota took a double-digit lead in the first quarter, and Toledo never got closer than four the rest of the way in a 65-53 season-ending loss in the first round of the WBIT.
But it wasn’t until a late 11-0 run that the Golden Gophers put the game away, as Toledo’s defense made finding baskets difficult.
