Syracuse basketball players and their ACC peers will get tested three times a week for Covid-19 amid the pandemic.

Syracuse basketball is about two weeks from the start of its 2020-21 season, when it will host Bryant on Friday, Nov. 27, the day after Thanksgiving.

Head coach Jim Boeheim says that he’s hopeful the upcoming term will get played amid the novel coronavirus pandemic, although infection rates are soaring throughout the country, and numerous college basketball teams have paused their present activities due to positive Covid-19 tests within their programs.
