Join us beginning at 11:00 a.m. (Central) for our in-game blog of 11th-seeded Minnesota's first round NCAA Tournament game versus #6 seed Xavier University (24-8) of the Atlantic 10 Conference. Minnesota (21-13) is making its second-straight NCAA Tournament appearance after going 3-1 at last weekend's Big Ten Tournament in Indianapolis, while the Musketeers tied for the A-10's regular season title after advancing to last season's Sweet 16. We'll supply you with as many of the sights and impressions of the game as we possibly can. Tipoff from the Bradley Center in Milwaukee is slated for 11:25 a.m., and will be televised on CBS Sports.

Please feel free to ask questions or make comments. We want this blog to be as interactive as possible, so feel free to contribute to the ongoing discussion. Please keep in mind, though, that this is not meant to be a running play-by-play.
