MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota guard Mara Braun won't return to play this season in preservation of a year of eligibility after breaking her right foot for the second straight season. Coach Dawn Plitzuweit confirmed Braun's status ahead of the Big Ten Tournament. The Gophers are the 13th seed and play Washington in the first round in Indianapolis on Wednesday. They are 20-10 and on the bubble for an NCAA Tournament at-large bid. Braun was sixth in the Big Ten last season with an average of 17 points per game. She first suffered the injury in January 2024 and did it again in November.
