Rutgers:

With just 8 total wins, The Scarlet Knights (No. 14 seed) have had one of their worst seasons in program history. This is the second-fewest wins the Scarlet Knights have ever registered. The team opened up the season with a 6-5 record but succumbed to the injuries that hit their roster, resulting in a 12-game losing streak that started in December.

Sophomore guard Kaylene Smikle who led the team in scoring (16.6 points per game) has been out with an undisclosed season-ending injury since December. Senior guard Awa Sidibe also missed the majority of the season with an undisclosed injury.

Minnesota:

The Golden Gophers (No. 11 seed) dropped 10 of their last 11 games this season, including two blowout losses where they were outscored by a combined total of 104 points. The team has been without its starting center Sophie Hart who has missed the last 4 games due to a hip injury.

Head coach Dawn Plitzuweit says the Golden Gophers have to go back to the basics entering tonight's tournament.

"We have to figure out how to get back to playing, to all-out competing… I wish I had the answer to how we'll do it, what it will take. But that's what we have to do. You have to want to go and compete, and if that's not good enough, so be it."
