The Gophers men's basketball team rescheduled its postponed game at Penn State for 3 p.m. on Feb. 17.

The Gophers were unable to play Jan. 19 in State College, Pa., after COVID-19 issues within the program dropped them below the Big Ten requirement of seven scholarship players available to participate.

They will now play the Nittany Lions twice during a three-game span next month; the Gophers also play host to Penn State on Feb. 12 at Williams Arena.

During the same week of the rescheduled Penn State game, the Gophers also play Feb. 15 at Ohio State and Feb. 19 against Northwestern at home.
