Tip-off is at 7 and the game can be watched on BTN Plus. You can read the preview here.
If you didn't read the preview here's a basic rundown. LIU is 7-3 but haven't played anyone good (no top 100 teams). They just beat St. John's, who's the best team they've played, but they also have some very bad losses. Their best player is forward Jerome Frink, who Pitino recruited to play at FIU, and he transfered after Pitino left. Other than Frink, LIU doesn't have much depth in the frontcourt. Minnesota is the far superior team and that is evident in their TeamRankings and Pomeroy Ratings (Minnesota is 47 and 37 to LIU's 284 and 280). By those numbers, LIU will be the worst team the Gophers will play this season.
