Tuesday’s Sports

 

Will Fuller | Bradley Roby

NFL

The Dallas Cowboys game against the Baltimore Ravens has changed again, and the new date for the game is Tuesday, Dec 8. The game will air on FOX at 7:05 pm. They initially scheduled the game for Thursday, Dec 3, but moved it to a later date.

The Dallas Cowboys saw their dream of winning the NFC East diminish over Thanksgiving weekend. Getting stomped by the Washington Football Team, along with losing arguably their best player in offensive lineman Zack Martin, didn’t start their Week 12 off on a good note. And things only got worse when the New York Giants won on Sunday to take over first place in the division.

The Houston Texans will be without wide receiver Will Fuller and cornerback Bradley Roby for six games. That is because the NFL suspended the two for violating the league’s performance-enhancing substance policy. They claimed their doctors didn’t make them aware that the NFL banned the products they used and apologized. They are both out for the rest of the season.

NCAA

Gonzaga and Baylor remain the top two teams in the Associated Press men’s college basketball poll of the regular season. The Bears received six first-place votes, with Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois rounding out the top five. Gonzaga was the preseason No. 1 and lived up to the billing by rolling over Kansas and Auburn in Fort Meyers, Florida.

LSC

Texas A&M University-Commerce canceled the men’s basketball exhibition game at the University of North Texas due to COVID-19 concerns within the program. The two planned to meet Tuesday night in Denton, but positive tests cropped up in the Lions program.
