The Missouri Western men's basketball home game against Northwest Missouri State has been rescheduled for Tuesday, February 9 at the MWSU Fieldhouse. The game will tip at 7:00 p.m. and air on KFEQ (680 AM, 95.3 FM).
The Griffons and Bearcats were originally scheduled to play Dec. 12, but the game was postponed due to COVID-19 protocols and moved to Jan. 19. That game was also postponed due to COVID. So, the two teams will now play each other twice in a span of four days.
Western will also play its originally scheduled game at Northwest on February 6. That game will start a busy stretch for Missouri Western as they will play six games in 10 days.
Along with the two Northwest games, the Griffons will play a rescheduled home game against Central Oklahoma on February 7, originally scheduled home games against Missouri Southern (Feb. 11) and Pittsburg State (Feb. 13) and a rescheduled home game against Newman on Monday, Feb. 15. Five of the six games during that stretch are at the Fieldhouse.
The Griffons, who are 8-2 this season, return to the court this week after pausing team activities last week. Missouri Western heads to Central Missouri (5-8) on Thursday for a 7:30 p.m. tip-off and then they play at Lincoln (7-3) on Saturday at 3:30 p.m.
Missouri Western hasn't played since Jan. 14, when they lost 75-67 at Nebraska-Kearney.
