College Basketball Schedule: Tracking COVID-19 Cancellations, Updates

Stay up to date with all the latest college basketball cancelations caused by the COVID-19 crisis.

We're in the first weeks of the 2020-21 college basketball season, but the sport has already seen a slate of games canceled due to the COVID-19 crisis.

No. 2 Baylor had its matchup with Seton Hall canceled on Nov. 29 and pulled out of last week's Empire Classic, and the cancellations extend past the Big 12. The SEC, Big Ten and Big East have also experienced cancellations over the last week, and the pattern is likely to continue through December. As the coronavirus spreads throughout the United States, the NCAA is far from immune.
