ST. LOUIS -- The Missouri Valley Conference has announced that Indiana State will now face Loyola on Jan. 10-11 at Hulman Center in Terre Haute. The Sunday, Jan. 10, game will be played at 6:30 p.m. ET and air on ESPN2, while the Monday, Jan. 11, contest will begin at 7:00 p.m. ET and shown on CBS Sports Network.

The Sycamores were 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. The Valley also postponed the Drake-Loyola men's basketball series (Jan. 10-11) and the Drake-Missouri State men's basketball series (Jan. 17-18) due to positive COVID-19 test results among Drake's Tier I personnel, which consists of student-athletes, coaches, managers and staff.  The Conference will announce make-up dates for the series/games at a later date.
