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.

Just another day in paradise. Temperatures surged back into the low 70's for the first time in a week and a half and with southerly winds finally returning to the region, more warmth is on the way for the Tri-State. In fact, this evening looks nothing short of absolutely gorgeous across the area - by dinnertime we'll have fallen back down to 71°, but only as low as 58° by 10PM. So, if you have plans out and about this evening, all you may need will be a sweatshirt. We'll also remain relatively mild early Saturday morning, especially when you compare Saturday morning's anticipated low of 48° to previous mornings earlier in the week. Brrr.
