Robert Morris men's basketball cancels weekend games at IUPUI
Because of positive covid-19 tests within its program, the Robert Morris men’s basketball team has canceled games against IUPUI scheduled for this weekend, the school announced Wednesday.
The Colonials were supposed to play at IUPUI on Friday and Saturday afternoon.
RMU also called off a home game with Milwaukee last Saturday.
The Colonials are 3-3, 2-1 in the Horizon League. They haven’t played since defeating Milwaukee, 67-64, on New Year’s Day.
The school also announced a change to the women’s basketball schedule.
The Colonials will host Northern Kentucky at noon Friday and 1 p.m. Saturday. They were originally set to meet the University of Illinois at Chicago this weekend, but that program has been shut down since Dec. 31 because of positive covid-19 tests.
