1:52 Southeast Missouri's flight was on its descent to the Tampa International Airport for a tournament hosted by the University of South Florida when Head Coach Mark Redburn's cell phone had just enough service to take a call. The call was from his counterpart at USF, who let Redburn know the tournament the Redhawks were travelling to play in was cancelled. Soon after that, Redburn was informed that his season was over once the NCAA voted to suspend play due to a global COVID-19 pandemic. SEMO was 12-5 when its season abruptly shut down. The Redhawks won nine in a row and posted a 9-1 record in their first 10 games.
