The Loyola men’s basketball team left Nashville Dec. 10 riding high. They had just notched an impressive win on the road against a Power-6 school, had a strong night from the floor making 17 three-pointers and graduate guard Lucas Williamson had reached 1,000 points in his career. Little did the players know then that they would not take the floor again for 27 days.

Loyola Athletics announced Dec. 17 that the team’s next two games against Norfolk State University Dec. 19 at home, and Davidson College Dec. 22 away, had both been canceled due to multiple positive COVID-19 tests within Loyola’s program.
