The George Mason University men’s basketball season is now on hold because of a positive COVID-19 test within the program.

In a statement the school said it is pausing all men’s basketball activities after a positive test result was detected during routine COVID-19 surveillance testing.

The testing is conducted three times a week in accordance with NCAA guidelines.

Mason’s game against the University of Maryland scheduled for Friday has been canceled.
