Three things to watch for this week

• Times have been tough for the Gophers women's basketball team since Big Ten play started. Can they end a three-game conference losing streak Monday against Iowa?

• Both teams have fared pretty well since the November trade, but the Wolves' first game against the 76ers since the Jimmy Butler deal will be one to watch Tuesday, at Philadelphia.

• Conference title games are less stressful but not nearly as fun when the Vikings aren't involved. We'll know by the end of the day Sunday who is in the Super Bowl.
