The Butler’s men’s basketball team will have to wait a little longer for their first conference matchup. The Bulldogs’ game today against St. John’s in New York has been canceled due to COVID-19 issues with the Red Storm program.
This comes shortly after the Big East announced that it will revise its policy on games that cannot be played due to COVID-19 outbreaks. This is one positive that can be taken from all the misfortune, as teams will not be forced to forfeit anymore if they are the ones who have COVID-19.
