“#St. John\u2019s game<\/a> postponed due to COVID-19 issues<\/strong>”

St. John\u2019s 12-day layoff is going to be even longer.<\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s game against DePaul was postponed less than a half hour before tip-off due to COVID-19 issues within the Red Storm program.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we\u2019re obviously disapp<\/a>ointed at not being able to play today, postponing the game is unequivocally the right thing to do,\u201d athletic director Mike Cragg said in a statement. \u201cThe health and safety of our student-athletes, coaches and staff has always been our top priority and we saw no reason to take any unnecessary risk. We thank Coach Leitao, the DePaul administration and the BIG EAST Conference for their cooperation in this manner.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to sources, there were testing irregularities related to a positive test and it is uncertain if St. John\u2019s will enter into a pause. It will depend on follow-up tests and university doctors. There was some thought to pushing the game back later in the day, but DePaul, which has already had to pause three times this year due to positive COVID-19 tests, resisted, sources said.<\/p>\n

Prior to the news<\/a>, St. John\u2019s had managed to avoid any positive tests since players returned to campus in late July. But players recently were allowed to go home for a few days to see family before quarantining upon their return and going through rounds of testing. St. John\u2019s was initially expected to play Villanova on Dec. 30, but coach Jay Wright suggested they push back the game to give both teams a chance to see family during the holidays.<\/p>\n

If St. John\u2019s does go into a pause, which would likely last 14 days based on state mandates, it could go a month without playing a game. The Johnnies\u2019 last contest was against Georgetown on Dec. 20.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
