Head coach Lindsay Whalen talked about how healthy the team is heading into the tournament, how tough it is going to be to defeat Nebraska for a third time this season, how to stop Nebraska’s offense, if she anticipates the team will be shorthanded against the Cornhuskers, how happy she was for Jasmine Powell and Sara Scalia to get All-Big Ten honors, and how valuable Scalia is to the team.

Senior Gadiva Hubbard spoke about the keys to defeating Nebraska twice already this season, what the team needs to do to defeat them a third time, if she is doing anything different for the early 10 am tipoff of the game, how she was able to have success against Nebraska this season, how she is mentally preparing to be shorthanded in the game against Nebraska, and if she has thought about using her waiver to come back for the Gophers next season.
