COVID-19 is hitting the Screaming Eagles basketball team especially hard this season.

The University of Indiana Men's Basketball team will be quarantined for the third time this season after another run-in with COVID.

The team will be forced to postpone its next three games which saw them playing on the road at Missouri University of Science & Technology and Maryville University along with a home game versus the University of Illinois Springfield, which was scheduled to be played on February 23.

Currently, the games are only postponed, not cancelled, with the possibility of rescheduling to be determined. 

The Eagles lead the GLVC East Division by five games with an 11-4 record this season. USI is third in the GLVC Point Rating System, trailing the University of Missouri-St. Louis and Truman State University. The top eight teams in the GLVC Point Rating System qualify for the GLVC Tournament that will be held on campus sites this year.
