“We couldn’t be more excited to take part in the U.S. Bank Stadium Basketball Classic,” said Minnesota head coach Richard Pitino.
Tommies coach John Tauer said their game against River Falls should be fantastic.
“We’ve had many spirited games against River Falls over the last 10-15 years, and to bring that rivalry to this facility will be fun,” Tauer said. “It looks like it will be a terrific weekend of college basketball that should bring fans from Iowa, the Dakotas and Wisconsin.”
