Minnesota State Tournament game schedule
It’s tournament time! The Minnesota high school State Tournament opens on Tuesday and the format is quite different from a normal year. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was decided by the Minnesota State High School League to hold the quarterfinal games at neutral sites across the state March 30-31 with the semifinals and finals to be staged at Target Center in Minneapolis April 6, 7 and 9.
The number of spectators is limited so live streaming might be your best bet. That’s certainly what we will be doing. All quarterfinal games will be available for live streaming and replay on prepspotlight.tv. As of Sunday morning the packages were not listed on their website but when they are the cost will be $9.99 for a single game, $14.99 for a one-day pass or $19.99 for two days. The semifinals and finals next week at Target Center will be available on 45 TV or prep45.com.
Here is the complete schedule for the next two weeks. The format this year has divided each class into a North and South region and the teams have been seeded 1 through 4 in their respective regions. This has created some unusually good quarterfinal match-ups but will also quickly eliminate some of the better teams. We’ll have more on the best games to watch and players to see over the next couple of days.
