Milwaukee halts basketball activities due to positive COVID-19 test

Milwaukee has paused all team-related men's basketball activities and has canceled the season-opening MKE Classic event because of a positive COVID-19 case within its program.

The MKE Classic, which the Panthers had been set to host, was supposed to be a three-day event beginning Friday and featuring Milwaukee, Southern Mississippi and North Dakota State.

Milwaukee officials said there was a positive test within the men's basketball program's Tier 1 personnel. Tier 1 members include players, coaches, team managers and support staff.
