INDIANAPOLIS - The IUPUI men's basketball game at Northern Kentucky Thursday, Jan. 6, has been canceled due to COVID-19 implications within both programs. It will mark IUPUI's third straight cancellation due to COVID. 

Horizon League policy, vetted by multiple membership groups and approved by the Horizon League Council, states that contests that are canceled due to COVID-19 are to be considered forfeits unless deemed a no contest by the Commissioner. League policy authorizes the Commissioner to deem a cancellation a no-contest when the involved institution can demonstrate that extraordinary circumstances led to the cancellation. Given the surge in positive cases due to the Omicron variant, the Council agreed that a high volume of breakthrough cases among vaccinated individuals is considered extraordinary.

Pending a review, the Horizon League will make a determination on whether the game will be deemed a forfeit or a no contest.  

If needed, additional updates to the schedule will be announced at a later date.
