Minnesota Gophers Big Ten Tournament 2019: Schedule, Time, TV

TWIN CITIES, MN — The Minnesota Gophers men's basketball team finished seventh in the Big Ten this season and clinched a first-round bye in the conference tournament. The Gophers will face No. 10 Penn State Thursday.

Following Minnesota's home win over Purdue on senior night, most analysts project the Gophers will make the NCAA tournament this March.

As of Monday, ESPN's Joe Lunardi projects the Gophers will be a 10 seed in the "Big Dance" and face Louisville. Minnesota's performance in the Big Ten tournament this week could change that, however.

Here's what you need to know for Minnesota's first game in the Big Ten tournament:

• When: Thursday, 6 p.m. central
• Where: United Center (Chicago, Illinois)
• TV: Watch on the Big Ten Network
• Radio: FM 100.3 KFAN
