Kansas is coming off a 16-14 season in 2024-25, but they've played in the NCAA Tournament in two of the last four seasons. Minnesota did not play a single true road game in the non-conference last season, but the matchup with the Jayhawks this season will give them a serious resume-building opportunity.

Minnesota is 4-14 all-time against Kansas, with the last matchup coming in 2013 at Williams Arena. The Gophers have not played in Lawrence, Kansas, since 2012, which was a 65-53 loss.

The Gophers had one of the weaker non-conference schedules in the sport last season. Dawn Plitzuweit and her staff have done the complete opposite this offseason, and they've reportedly built a very competitive slate for 2025.
