SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Syracuse basketball announced that its ACC home opener against Notre Dame on Tuesday night has been postponed after some positive COVID-19 tests among players on Buffalo, Syracuse’s last opponent.

The Orange are also pausing all basketball-related activities  and conducting contact tracing. 

“We are using an abundance of caution in this situation, as we have throughout the pandemic, “Syracuse director of athletics John Wildhack, said in a statement. “The health and well-being of our student-athletes and staff associated with the men’s basketball program is of the utmost importance to us.”

At this point it’s unclear how long the team will be shut down.
