LEXINGTON - Kentucky basketball's season will resume against Missouri but a day later than originally planned.
The Wildcats season was paused on Friday due to a combination of positive COVID-19 tests and contact tracing quarantines within the program. That pause necessitated the cancellation of Saturday's Big 12/SEC Challenge game against No. 5 Texas.
While the pause was originally described as a 48-hour stoppage, UK had made no announcement about the status of the season as of Monday afternoon. The SEC announced just after 4 p.m. Kentucky's game at No. 17 Missouri originally scheduled for Tuesday at 9 p.
