SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Syracuse University’s athletics department announced Friday morning that its next two men’s basketball games will not be played as scheduled due to COVID protocols.
The Orange were slated to play Lehigh Saturday at 6 p.m. at the Dome and then host Cornell next Tuesday, Dec. 21, at 9 p.m.
The athletics department said it is currently re-evaluating the schedule to determine if these games can be made up later this season and will provide further information about that down the line.

While it is disappointing to have to postpone any athletic event, this is the right decision given the increasingly difficult public health landscape.”
The release did not specify what the COVID issues in the Syracuse men’s basketball program were — for example, how many team members may have tested positive — that led to the game cancellations.
The Syracuse women’s basketball game scheduled for 11 a.m. Saturday against the University of Maryland, Baltimore County is set to continue as planned, the athletics department announced.
