MSU game scheduled against Iowa postponed due to positive COVID tests within program

Michigan State’s game scheduled for Thursday night at Iowa has been postponed because of three recent positive COVID-19 tests within the Spartans’ program.

The announcement came Wednesday night, just hours after Michigan State coach Tom Izzo revealed that freshman forward Mady Sissoko and sophomore guard Steven Izzo had tested positive for the coronavirus. In a statement released Wednesday night announcing the postponement, the team revealed a third positive test came back Wednesday afternoon.

“I’m really disappointed, but it just goes to prove that this can affect anyone,” Izzo said in a statement Head Coach Tom Izzo said.
