Virginia's semifinal game against Georgia Tech in the ACC tournament has been canceled.
Virginia's men's basketball team will not play in its ACC tournament game against Georgia Tech on Friday night due to a positive COVID-19 test with the Cavaliers program.
The ACC announced the semifinal game, which was set to tip-off at 6:30 p.m., has been canceled.
With the cancellation, Georgia Tech advances to the ACC tournament championship game and will play the winner of Friday night's Florida State vs. North Carolina game.
It is unclear what Virginia's positive test means for the defending champion's status for the NCAA tournament.
The top-seeded Cavaliers advanced to the ACC tournament semifinals after Reece Beekman drilled a three-pointer at the buzzer for a 72–69 win over No. 8 seed Syracuse on Thursday.
Virginia has gone 18–6 this season and 13–4 in ACC play and was ranked at No. 16 in the AP's latest top 25 men's basketball poll.
Friday's news marks the second time in two days that a team has withdrawn from the ACC tournament due to a positive COVID-19 test. On Thursday, Duke dropped out of the tournament following a positive result. As a result, the Blue Devils are expected to miss the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1995. Duke's 24-season streak is the third-longest in NCAA history, trailing North Carolina (27) and Kansas (30).
