The Missouri Valley Conference has announced a change in Saturday's (March 13) schedule of the 2021 MVC Women's Basketball Tournament as well as a start time change for Sunday's (March 14) final.
Each MVC program is required to undergo daily COVID-19 testing for the week preceding and throughout the 2021 MVC Women's Basketball Tournament. Beginning Wednesday (March 10), Genesis Health Systems has partnered with the Conference to provide on-site antigen testing and confirmatory PCR tests of each team's Tier 1 personnel throughout Hoops in the Heartland. A single positive result was discovered in both Bradley's and Drake's Tier 1 personnel as part of Friday evening’s testing, and subsequent contact tracing revealed that both institutions have enough available and non-impacted players and bench personnel to safely compete.
