Syracuse basketball is one of multiple New York state squads that have paused their hoops activities.
Syracuse basketball and its peers around the country are slated to begin the 2020-21 campaign in about 10 days, and the Orange finds itself among a growing number of teams that have paused their hoops activities due to positive Covid-19 tests within their programs.
The ‘Cuse athletics department announced on Sunday evening that head coach Jim Boeheim and one other member of the Orange program have tested positive, and that the team has paused all of its basketball-related activities.
