Xavier's Steele on postponement: It's complex. It's frustrating for our guys

Hours after the Big East Conference announced Monday that Xavier University's men's basketball team wouldn't be heading to UConn on Wednesday because of ongoing COVID-19 issues within the Musketeers' program, head coach Travis Steele participated in his regularly scheduled weekly radio show with hosts Byron Larkin and Joe Sunderman.

Steele, whose team got hit with a positive COVID-19 test from a Tier 1 individual last Thursday and caused the postponement of Saturday's game at Seton Hall, said he found out about a second positive test within the Tier 1 arc late Saturday night.
