Virginia-Virginia Tech basketball game postponed after positive test by Cavaliers staff member
The No. 23 Virginia men’s basketball team’s game against No. 24 Virginia Tech, set for Saturday in Charlottesville, was postponed after a Cavaliers staff member tested positive for the coronavirus, the ACC announced Friday. No makeup date was announced.
The Cavaliers recently returned to the court after a pause of team activities in early December cost them, among other games, a much-anticipated ACC/Big Ten Challenge matchup with No. 17 Michigan State. After Virginia called off that game, it entered a 10-day quarantine. The Cavaliers postponed or canceled games against William & Mary, Villanova and Wake Forest, the last of which would have been their ACC opener. After their matchup with No. 4 Villanova was scuttled, the Cavaliers scheduled a neutral-site game against top-ranked Gonzaga.
