Temple’s men’s basketball game against Wichita State, originally scheduled for Wednesday night at the Liacouras Center, has been postponed because of COVID-19 health and safety protocols within the Shockers’ program.

The American Athletic Conference also announced the postponement of Wichita State’s scheduled game Sunday against Southern Methodist.

This is the third postponement for the Owls (10-6, 3-2 AAC) this season and the second due to COVID complications impacting an opposing team.

Both programs will attempt to reschedule. Temple, which is riding a three-game winning streak, will next take the floor Saturday at South Florida (noon, ESPNU).
