The Maroon and Gold are marking their third straight team appearance in the NCAA Tournament, coming off last year's appearance in the Sweet 16, their first since 2000. Overall, it is the 28th appearance in program history for the Gophers. 

The Gophers advanced to the second round of the Big Ten Tournament last week before falling to top-seeded Ohio State, and have amassed a record of 16-9 this year. 

A win against San Diego would set up a matchup between the winner of USC and Northern Arizona in the second round at 1 pm on Saturday.
