Snow Delays Hoop Battles: Lions Miss Action
28 Jan
Summary
- Basketball games postponed due to road conditions and weather.
- Both men's and women's teams have not played since January 17.
- Make-up games are scheduled for February, with specific dates set.
Missouri Southern's basketball teams, the Lions, have experienced significant schedule changes due to adverse winter conditions. Their Round 2 Border Battle games, originally slated for Saturday, were postponed. Further impacting the schedule, Wednesday's MIAA contest against the University of Arkansas-Fort Smith was rescheduled to Thursday.
These postponements mean both the men's and women's teams have not played since January 17th. By the time they face Fort Smith on Thursday, it will have been 12 days since their last competition. The women's game is set for 5:30 p.m., followed by the men's at 7:30 p.m. in Robert Ellis Young Gymnasium.
The Lions have been navigating construction delays at their usual home, the Leggett & Platt Athletic Center. Despite these challenges, the women's team holds a strong 7-1 conference record, while the men's team is 3-5 in MIAA play. Make-up games for the postponed contests have been scheduled for February.
