SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KWSN.com) — University of Sioux Falls had four basketball games scheduled for this weekend. They’ll now be playing just one. Both women’s games against Minnesota State at the Stewart Center were cancelled due to COVID-19 concerns. The men’s back-to-back at Minnesota State was reduced to one game. That game will start at 2pm Sunday; you can hear it on 98.1 FM, AM 1230 and KWSN.com.

All-NSIC forward Teathloach Pal is lead USF in points and rebounds with 14.3 points, and 8.0 rebounds per game (6th, NSIC). USF. has won 14 of its last 16 regular season NSIC games dating to a year ago when they were the NSIC South champs and No. 2 seed in the NSIC Tourney.
