Scouting Report: Minnesota Golden Gophers
Illinois will take on the Minnesota Golden Gophers 10-1 (1-1) in Minneapolis on Tuesday. The game was originally scheduled for Sunday and was postponed due to COVID-19 in the Illinois program.
In his press conference, Brad Underwood said that 10 of Illinois’s 15 rostered players tested positive for COVID-19. Those players had to quarantine for five days and wear masks for the following five days. During their quarantine, the 10 players who tested positive couldn’t lift weights or practice, so the team couldn’t field a full practice.
