UVA–Michigan State, Two Other ACC/Big Ten Challenge Games Scheduled for Wednesday Postponed Due to COVID-19

The other two ACC/Big Ten games include Louisville-Wisconsin and NC State-Michigan due to COVID-19 problems in the Cardinals and Wolfpack programs.

No. 18 UVA and No. 4 Michigan State join the list of ACC/Big Ten Challenge games scheduled for Wednesday that are now postponed due to COVID-19 issues. 

The Cavaliers announced Tuesday evening that the men's basketball program was dealing with unspecified COVID-19 issues. Brothers Sam and Joey Hauser, who are Virginia's and Michigan State's respective leading scorers, will now have to wait to face off.

The other postponed games include Louisville-Wisconsin and NC State–Michigan due to COVID-19 protocols in the Cardinals and Wolfpack programs. 

Confirming @JonRothstein report that Louisville-Wisc is off for Wednesday due to COVID protocols with Louisville. And Wisconsin has already lined up a home game vs. URI on Wednesday as the substitute. The kind of scheduling agility necessary this season. Interesting matchup, too.

These postponements come after the highly anticipated No. 1 Gonzaga and No. 2 Baylor matchup, which was called off two hours before tipoff due to positive cases within the Zags program. Last Saturday's game between UConn and NC State was one of the few games canceled at Bubbleville.

The college men's basketball season started just under two weeks ago, and a slew of games have already been canceled or postponed and rescheduled.
