Duquesne will have to wait a little longer to start Atlantic 10 play. The Dukes’ Dec. 30 game versus Saint Louis has been postponed “due to positive COVID-19 results within the Saint Louis University men’s basketball program,” the team announced via twitter Wednesday. It is the second time that their A10 opener has been postponed, after the Dec. 19 game at Richmond was called off. The positive results are from tests administered on Monday, Dec. 28.
The Billikens have paused all team activities due to positive COVID-19 results within the program. Tonight's game against Duquesne has been postponed. The A-10 will communicate additional changes to SLU's upcoming schedule.
