Both FAU men’s and women’s basketball has postponed their first two games to begin conference play due to COVID-19 contact tracing issues.
Since Dec. 29, FAU Athletics announced that the women’s games on Dec. 30 and Jan. 1 against Charlotte and Old Dominion (ODU) would be postponed and later revealed that the men’s matchups with Charlotte and ODU will also be pushed back.
FAU’s release detailed that COVID-19 protocol issues within Charlotte’s program caused the cancellation. The 49ers more than likely did not have enough available players on the roster because of players being unavailable because of COVID-19.
