    Tech women’s game vs. Belmont postponed, men move up to 6 p.m. Thursday

    COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Tech calendar for Thursday will shift as the Golden Eagle women’s game against Belmont has been postponed as the Bruins continue to go through COVID protocol.

    As a result, the Tech men’s game will move up from an originally-scheduled 8 p.m. scheduled tipoff to 6 p.m.

    The makeup date between the Tech women and Belmont at the Eblen Center is still to be determined.

    “As we have done all season so far, we will make the most of opportunity to make sure our student-athletes get a chance to represent Tech and play the sport they love,” said Tech director of athletics Mark Wilson. “At the same time, all of us must also take the necessary precautions to protect our student-athletes, staffs and fans.”

    Updates will follow on TTUsports.com and the Tech Athletics social media accounts when a makeup date is announced.
