McPHERSON, Kan. – The McPherson College basketball doubleheader against Evangel on Jan. 4 will be played two hours earlier than originally scheduled due to the ongoing threat of winter weather over the weekend.
The women’s game will now tip off at 10 a.m. at Holman Fieldhouse. The men’s game will tip off 20 minutes following the conclusion of the women’s game at approximately 12 p.m. The games will still broadcast on 98.9/1540 KMCP as pregame coverage will now begin at 9:45 a.m.
As of 11 a.m. Friday, McPherson County is under a Winter Storm Watch from 9 a.m. Saturday until 6 p.m. Sunday.
