To say Northern Iowa basketball coach Ben Jacobson is still upset about the decision to cancel his team’s quarterfinal game in the Missouri Valley Tourney on Friday is probably an understatement. says it was a mistake to cancel Friday’s Missouri Valley Tournament quarterfinal round game against Drake.

A UNI player tested positive for COVID after Thursday night’s opening round win against Illinois State but the test came back negative Friday morning after it was run, again.

Jacobson says he is even more upset with the decision today than he was on Friday.

Jacobson says there should have been another test administered to determine if it was a false positive. The Missouri Valley says city of St. Louis protocols were followed in the decision to cancel the game and they overruled conference protocols.
