Marquette men’s and women’s basketball teams, as well as Tier 1 staff are required to quarantine for 14 days following one positive COVID-19 test within both programs.
This comes after the most recent round of testing Oct. 19. The two positive cases are out of a total of 45 tests of men’s and women’s basketball student-athletes and NCAA-defined Tier 1 team personnel. This news comes 35 days prior to the beginning of the season, which is set for Nov. 25.
“Our student-athletes and staff members have been doing a tremendous job in relation to following university and NCAA COVID-19 protocols and that effort has been reflected in our department’s low positivity rate,” athletic director Bill Scholl said in a statement.
