NU goes on pause due to COVID-19, Illinois game postponed


For the third time already this season, COVID-19 has impacted Nebraska’s 2020-21 season.

After postponing last week’s road game at Purdue due to sophomore forward Yvan Ouedraogo’s positive coronavirus test, the Huskers announced Monday night that they were pausing all team activities after other positive tests at the Tier 1 level.

Tier 1 is defined as student-athletes, coaches, and any staff member whose job requires close regular contact with a team.

As a result, Wednesday night’s home game vs. No. 14 Illinois has been postponed. Nebraska also had a non-conference game vs. Florida A&M canceled due to COVID issues with the Rattlers.

Per a press released issued Monday night, “no determination has been made on how the pause may impact scheduled games beyond Jan. 13.”

The release added:

“Individuals who have tested positive are in isolation and following all local and Lancaster County health guidelines. We will also conduct all the necessary procedures included in the Big Ten Conference protocols.

“Consistent with all of our athletic programs, we report any positive test result to the University, and it is included in its daily reports to the Lancaster County Health Department.”
