Report: Memphis-Houston Game in Jeopardy After COVID-19 Outbreak

The University of Memphis' game against the University of Houston is in jeopardy of being postponed or canceled after a COVID-19 outbreak within the Tigers' program, according to the Commercial Appeal's Evan Barnes and Mark Giannotto.

The game was scheduled for September 18.

Per the Commercial Appeal, at least 20 people within the program have tested positive for COVID-19 and "at least another people" are in quarantine due to contact tracing.

According to the paper, the outbreak has been attributed to a party bus that members of the team were on last Saturday after the program's win over Arkansas State.
