BGSU Men's Basketball Game Against Akron Postponed
December 28, 2021 | Men's Basketball
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio - The Bowling Green State University men's basketball team's Mid-American Conference opener has been postponed. The MAC announced Tuesday morning (Dec. 28) that the men's basketball contest between Bowling Green and Akron scheduled for Wednesday (Dec. 29) has been postponed due to COVID protocols within the Akron program. The game may be rescheduled for a future date.
BGSU's next scheduled game is set for New Year's Day, when the Falcons will travel to face Ball State in Muncie, Ind. for a 6:00 p.m. start.
Tickets
Those holding tickets to Wednesday's game (Dec. 29) will be able to use their tickets for entry to the rescheduled contest with Akron. Fans can buy single-game tickets to all home events by clicking here.
On Thursday (Dec. 23), the MAC announced that it has modified its 2021-22 COVID-19 rescheduling policy. The decision was unanimously supported by the Conference's Directors of Athletics due to the current rise in COVID cases and its impact on winter sport programs. If possible, games that cannot be played as scheduled will be rescheduled. If a game cannot be played and cannot be rescheduled, it will be considered a no contest.
For men's and women's basketball, a team must meet a minimum threshold of seven scholarship student-athletes and one coach to play a game. If a team does not have the necessary number of participants, and elects not to play, the game shall be a no contest if it cannot be rescheduled. If a team has the necessary number of participants and chooses not to participate, the game will be declared a forfeit.
Â
The MAC Medical Advisory Group will continue to monitor and discuss the current circumstances and, if necessary, may adjust the current protocols. All contests will remain subject to national, state and local health guidelines.
