MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota's game at Illinois that was scheduled for Tuesday has been postponed because of COVID-19 health and safety protocols within the Gophers' program.

The announcement was made Monday by Minnesota, which didn't specify how many players would have been unable to play. The teams will meet on Feb. 20 instead.

The Gophers (7-15, 1-11) had only eight available scholarship players for their last game, an 81-46 loss to Maryland on Saturday. Dawson Garcia (ankle) has missed the last four games, and Braeden Carrington (leg) has missed the last six.
