Preview: This is the Gophers' second four-team tournament at home in consecutive weekends. They lost to Wisconsin-Green Bay 79-75 on Sunday in the title game of the Best Buy Classic. But the Gophers rebounded well, defeating a veteran, quick Pittsburgh team 73-63 on Wednesday in a Super Six Series game.
The Gophers will win the tournament because ... They are coming off a feel-good victory over Pitt. Several players had career-highs. China Antoine made six three-pointers. Brianna Mastey had 10 points and seven rebounds, and Kristen Dockery had eight points and nine rebounds. Gophers are shooting 52.7 percent from the field.
Wisconsin-Milwaukee will win the tournament because ... Four starters are averaging in double figures. The Panthers have size inside with 6-4 freshman center Courtney Lindfors, averaging 22 points and 7.5 rebounds, both team highs. The team also has four Minnesotans on its roster -- Lindsay Laur, Roseville; Anne Breland, Rochester; Amanda Viehauser, Minneapolis; and Laura Melquist, Byron -- so Panthers will have a rooting section.
