2/11/2010 12:00:00 AM | Men's Basketball

The Big Ten Conference recently announced the dates and tip-times for University of Minnesota Men's Basketball wildcard games. The games were originally scheduled without dates and tip-times due to various networks' flex scheduling.

Minnesota will play host to the Indiana Hoosiers on Saturday, Feb. 20 at 7:00 p.m., will travel to Champaign, Ill. to take on the Illinois Fighting Illini on Saturday, Feb. 27 at 3:00 p.m. and will end the conference road season with a trip to Ann Arbor, Mich. to face the Wolverines on Tuesday, March 2 at 6:00 p.m. All three games will be broadcast on the Big Ten Network.

The Big Ten Network has assigned the broadcast crew of Wayne Larrivee and former Northwestern star Shon Morris for the Feb. 21 contest against Indiana. The broadcast crews for the other original wildcard games have not been decided upon.

Single-game tickets are still available for Minnesota's remaining home games. Fans interested in purchasing tickets may call the ticket office at 612-624-8080, or toll free at 1-800-U-GOPHER. Tickets may also be purchased through Minnesota's official athletics department website, www.gophersports.com.
