Syracuse Orange, Buffalo Bulls men's hoops on pause after positive test

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- The Syracuse and Buffalo men's basketball programs are on pause after a member of the Bulls tested positive for COVID-19.

The decisions announced Monday by both teams came after they played Saturday in Syracuse's Carrier Dome.

The Mid-American Conference school did not reveal who tested positive, except to say that it involved either an athlete or member of the team's coaching or support staff. The school was notified of the positive test on Sunday.

It's unclear how long the pause will last. Buffalo said it will follow NCAA, conference and local health protocols.
