Monday’s St. Thomas men’s basketball game at Bethel was postponed “due to COVID-19 protocols,” St. Thomas Athletics said in a statement.
The game is the first postponement for the men’s basketball program.
“Officials will attempt to reschedule it later in the season if possible,” the statement said.
St. Thomas men’s hoops was scheduled to play their first home game Wednesday against Hamline. The Tommies won the last match-up with Hamline Feb. 3, defeating the Pipers 81-52.
The team joins men’s and women’s hockey as the third St. Thomas team to suffer a COVID-19-related postponement.
Women’s hockey has yet to play a game, as their first three games of the season have been postponed due to COVID-19 protocols. The men’s hockey team has played one game so far this season before last Friday’s and Saturday’s Gustavus matchup was postponed for COVID-19-related reasons.
