Published:
Another B1G basketball game has been postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Tuesday’s game between Purdue and Michigan in Ann Arbor has been postponed because of COVID-19 protocols within the Michigan program. It is the second-straight game the Wolverines have had to call off because of issues.
Michigan was unable to play Saturday’s game against Michigan State because of the concerns, as well. The Wolverines fell below the B1G’s requirement of needing 7 scholarship players available to play.
