ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - The Billikens game on Friday night against Richmond has been postponed due to "COVID-19 concerns," announced the Atlantic 10 Conference.
Saint Louis University played its first game in about a month on Tuesday night, after a COVID-19 outbreak around the holidays.
"The Billikens are returning to St. Louis on the advice of their medical staff. SLU was prepared to play the game as scheduled, and is not in a position to comment on the concerns raised by its medical staff," a press release from the Billikens stated.
SLU missed seven-straight conference games and sat idle between Dec. 23 and this Tuesday. The Billikens finally returned to the court – still ranked as the No. 22 team in the country according to AP – in a 76-71 loss to Dayton.
