NC State-UConn game canceled due to positive test for COVID-19

NC State says Saturday's men's basketball game against UConn has been canceled because of a positive COVID-19 test for a member of the Wolfpack's traveling party.

The school announced the cancellation early Saturday. The matchup was scheduled to be the final game in "Bubbleville," a series of college basketball games at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.

NC State says all program members had a test come back negative before traveling to Connecticut. They then received another round of testing after arriving and received negative results before Thursday's win against UMass Lowell.

But the positive result came during Friday's round of testing 24 hours ahead of the game in accordance with NCAA protocols.

The Wolfpack (3-0) are next scheduled to visit Michigan on Wednesday as part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
