COLUMBIA, Mo. — Like their friends on the Missouri football team and women’s basketball team and their peers across the state at St. Louis University, the Missouri basketball players are now on pause. After positive cases of COVID-19 surfaced in testing late this week, the No. 13 Tigers had to postpone Saturday’s home game against Louisiana State and pause all team activities indefinitely.
Mizzou (7-2, 1-2 Southeastern Conference) was set to host LSU (7-2, 2-1) at 7:30 p.m., but the combination of positive tests, contact tracing and subsequent quarantining forced MU to postpone Saturday’s game. No makeup date has been set.
