Husker Men Pause Activities, Postpone Illinois Game

The Nebraska men’s basketball team has paused full team activities due to positive COVID-19 tests on the team. 

The Huskers have postponed tomorrow night’s home game against Illinois, but NU has not determined if it will affect future games. 

While the team’s announcement only said the results were “among its Tier 1 personnel,” media reports say forward Yvan Ouedraogo tested positive.  The sophomore missed Sunday’s 84-76 loss to Indiana and afterwards, coach Fred Hoiberg said he would be out for “the foreseeable future.” 

Ouedraogo is averaging better than 5 points and 5.5 rebounds per game.
