The Little Rock men's basketball game with Eastern Illinois that was postponed last month has been rescheduled. The two teams will meet on Monday, Jan. 27, at 2 pm, on the campus of fellow Ohio Valley Conference member Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Mo.
Administrators from each school, along with officials from the OVC, agreed on a new date and location for the game which was postponed December 21 after Little Rock student manager Josh Claxton tragically passed away in a car accident earlier that morning.
"I want to personally thank OVC Commissioner Beth DeBauche, as well as Eastern Illinois Director of Athletics Tom Michael and Lindenwood Director of Athletics Jason Coomer for working with us in the spirit of cooperation to reschedule last month's game in a fair and equitable manner," said Little Rock Director of Athletics Frank M.
