The Conference will announce make-up dates for the series/games at a later date.
Loyola, however, will now face Indiana State on Jan. 10-11 at Hulman Center in Terre Haute, Ind.

Indiana State was originally scheduled to play Southern Illinois this weekend, but positive test results within SIU’s Tier I personnel has forced the postponement of the SIU-ISU series.

As we near the closing of the portal window, we've reached 1900. Some of them never to play college basketball again, earn a college degree and some to play at a much lower level than they did last season.
I guess we'll be seeing this in a @RacersHoops uniform this year. Glad AJ is staying in the @ValleyHoops.
