Delaware Men’s Basketball Pauses Team Activities

NEWARK, Del. – The University of Delaware men's basketball team has paused all team activities due to positive COVID-19 test results among the program's Tier 1 personnel consisting of student-athletes, coaches, staff and managers. Results were detected during UD surveillance testing, which is conducted three times a week in accordance with NCAA guidelines.

The program is currently following all state, local and University public health guidelines, as the priority remains the health and safety of our student-athletes, coaches, staff and community.

As a result, the Blue Hens will not participate in the "Bubbleville" at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut for previously scheduled games on Nov. 27 and 28. Delaware's entire non-conference schedule will be announced at a later date including possible phased-in fan attendance subject to state and university health guidelines.

"Our program has been diligently following guidelines and protocols since the summer, with no positive tests until this point. COVID-19 cases are continuing to rise throughout the country, and unfortunately our team has now been affected. The health and safety of everyone in our program and the local community remain our top priority. We will continue to follow all safety guidelines and look forward to resuming the preparation for our season when it is deemed safe," said University of Delaware head coach Martin Ingelsby.
