Wichita State’s conference opener against ECU postponed

The Wichita State men’s basketball team will have to wait until the new year to begin conference play.

The Shockers were originally scheduled to take on East Carolina this evening at 6 p.m to open up play in the American Athletic Conference but the game was postponed due to health and safety protocols within the Pirates’ program.

The American made changes to the protocols on Monday, where teams will must have seven healthy scholarship players and one coach in order for a game to take place. Teams can now reschedule postponed games instead of receiving a forfeit loss.
