The Shockers will no longer be playing in its season-opening tournament in South Dakota this week due to multiple positive COVID-19 tests, a release announced Monday.
The Shockers’ season will now be put on pause following the tests within the team and will be replaced by Virginia Commonwealth University in the Crossover Classic. Wichita State had arrived for the tournament on Monday afternoon and tests were conducted shortly after.
WSU’s next scheduled game is on Dec. 2 against Oral Roberts which could be in jeopardy depending on how long the program will be on pause. If all the players have to follow a 14-day quarantine, they would also miss the game against Missouri scheduled for Dec.
