The BIG EAST Conference announced Monday that the UConn at Xavier men's basketball game, scheduled for Tuesday, has been canceled.
The cancellation is due to "COVID issues within the UConn program," officials said.
The team confirmed the positive results received by UConn included head coach Dan Hurley, who is in isolation at home.
No. 23 Xavier was set to present a tough challenge for UConn, according to the Associated Press. UConn has played a ranked team only once this season and won. Xavier has dropped to No. 23 in the latest AP rankings following a loss to Villanova last week.
Team officials with the Huskies said announcements about future UConn events will be made in the coming days.
