Share this...

The Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) Presidents Council met Nov. 20 and made the decision to adjust the men’s and women’s basketball schedules in order to prioritize the health and safety of all teams as COVID-19 cases surge across the United States.

Conference play will still feature an 18-game format, according to the press release from the MVC. Most teams will face one another in a two-game series on back-to-back days at the same site. Each institution will play four road series and four home series. The switch also features designated travel partners that the teams will play in a single-game, home-and-home series.
