(Radio Iowa) – UNI takes a 1-3 Missouri Valley record into today’s (Sunday’s) start of a two game series at home against Bradley. The Braves are 6-3 but due to COVID related issues have not started Valley play. Their last game was a one point loss to Missouri back on December 22nd.

That’s UNI coach Ben Jacobson who says the Braves are always strong defensively.

DES MOINES, Iowa — The Drake University Athletics Department announced Friday evening that the Missouri Valley Conference postponed the next two men’s basketball games. The series between Drake and Loyola today (Jan. 10th) and Monday (Jan. 11) at the Knapp Center, and the series between Drake and Missouri State on Jan. 17 and Jan. 18 in Springfield, Missouri, have been postponed.

The cause is a positive COVID-19 test result “among Drake’s Tier 1 personnel, which consists of student-athletes, coaches, managers and staff,” the department stated. The conference has yet to set up future dates for the postponed games. Any tickets for the Loyola series will be received for its postponed date.
