The return to action following a 20-day layoff for Xavier University's men's basketball team and the excitement that came with a 68-55 win over Butler on Saturday night was short-lived for the Musketeers.
Monday afternoon brought news of a positive test from a Tier 1 individual within Xavier's program, meaning Wednesday's game at DePaul is postponed, the Big East Conference announced in a statement.
"Xavier received a positive test in its Tier 1 group in the latest results and, due to the need for additional COVID-related testing precautions in the coming days, the trip to Chicago must be postponed," the statement said.
