The Saint Francis men's basketball game at Chicago State, originally scheduled for Thursday, January 29, has been postponed. The game has been rescheduled for Monday, February 9, at 4 p.m. EST, at the Jones Convocation Center.

With this change, the Red Flash will play four road games in eight days. Saint Francis will travel to Mercyhurst (February 5), Le Moyne (February 7), Chicago State (February 9), and FDU (February 12) before returning to Loretto for the 30th Anniversary Celebration of the 1991 NEC Championship team and jersey retirement of Joe Anderson and Mike Iuzzolino on February 14.
