The Kansas State men’s basketball team has found a replacement opponent for Wednesday, Dec. 29: the North Florida Ospreys.

The Wildcats won’t play Morgan State as originally scheduled at Bramlage Coliseum while the Bears are sidelined with COVID issues, coach Bruce Weber said late Tuesday night. Morgan State’s team is currently on a COVID pause because it doesn’t have enough healthy players to take the court in its upcoming games.

North Florida (4-9) will be K-State’s opponent instead. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. and the game will be streamed on ESPN+.

According to K-State, season ticket holders and current Morgan State single-game ticket purchasers should use their original ticket to scan in for next Wednesday’s game.
