The Houston men’s basketball program has paused all team-related activities due to recent positive COVID-19 tests and contact tracing, UH announced on Tuesday.
The Cougars were scheduled to play Sam Houston State and Rice this week, but both of those games have been “postponed,” UH said in a press release.
Head coach Kelvin Sampson (contact tracing) and assistant Kellen Sampson (positive test) missed Saturday’s game against South Carolina due to COVID-19 issues.
“These are challenging times, but the safety of our student-athletes, coaches, staff and fans will always remain our main priority,” athletic director Chris Pezman said.
