Navy men’s basketball fans do not need to waste their time watching the selection show announcing the 16 at-large bids to the National Invitation Tournament.
Coach Ed DeChellis told The Capital on Sunday night that Navy’s season is over because of a positive COVID-19 test involving a Tier 1 individual within the program. Spokesman Scott Strasemeier said the Navy athletic department informed NIT organizers late last week that its men’s basketball team would be unable to participate.
Navy athletics protocols call for varsity sports teams to suspend all activities for a minimum of 10 days following a positive test.
