Fans who attend the Thursday practice are encouraged to bring school supplies and decorated oars. The team originally planned on hosting a school supply drive and an oar collection at Saturday's practice. The school supplies will be donated locally, while the oars will be displayed in Huntington Bank Stadium.
The Gophers had lost their previous three games and their past seven meetings with the Hoosiers. Guard Amaya Battle helped change all that by scoring a game-high 16 points to surpass 1,000 in her career.
