Drake men's basketball to play Chicago State on Wednesday after week of rescheduling
Drake men’s basketball will play Chicago State at 5 p.m. Wednesday, the third change to the Bulldogs schedule in less than a week.
Chicago State postponed its game against Drake on Sunday and Saint Louis canceled its appearance against the Bulldogs in the Las Vegas Holiday Hoops Classic on Wednesday, both due to COVID-19 protocols.
Drake replaced Chicago State with UT Martin on Sunday, after the Skyhawks lost their weekend opponent, Evansville, to health and safety issues. Despite postponing the Drake game, Chicago State kept its scheduled game against No. 9 Iowa State on Tuesday.
