Idaho State men's basketball head coach Ryan Looney squats on the sideline during a Big Sky Conference tournament game earlier this year in Boise.

The Idaho State men’s basketball home game against Montana Western on Saturday has been canceled, according to an ISU press release.

The reason for the cancellation was “COVID-related issues with the visiting team,” according to the press release.

The game was originally scheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday in Reed Gym.

It’s the second COVID-related cancellation of the season for the Bengals. Idaho State originally added the Montana Western game to the schedule to make up for a Dec. 15 cancellation against Eastern Oregon.

The addition of the Montana Western game was announced on Wednesday. Now, just two days later, it’s been wiped off the Bengals’ schedule.
