Binghamton and Youngstown State have been shut down due to COVID-19.
With six days remaining until the start of the 2020-21 college basketball season, several programs have been put on pause or shut down temporarily due COVID-19 outbreaks.
Stadium basketball analyst Jeff Goodman reported Binghamton and Youngstown State have shut down due to COVID-19.
St. Bonaventure men's basketball program released a statement saying that its team activities have been put on pause due to COVID-19. A positive test result within the team's Tier 1 personnel led to the pause.
As a result of the positive test, the Bonnies will not participate in Mohegan Sun "Bubbleville" games. St. Bonaventure was slated to play three games from Nov. 25 to Nov. 27.
DePaul will shut down its basketball program following a positive COVID-19 test among its Tier 1 group. The Blue Demons' first three games of the schedule (Nov. 25, Nov. 28 and Dec. 1) will be canceled, according to Goodman.
Among other changes, Iona's game against Hofstra has been moved to Dec. 5. The game between Wagner and Iona originally scheduled for Dec. 5 has been canceled, Rothstein reported.
