Wednesday's Northern Arizona men's basketball season opener against Arizona has been postponed, due to a positive COVID-19 test within the Lumberjacks' program. Northern Arizona and Arizona each confirmed the news in separate press releases around 1:30 p.m. Monday afternoon -- each with slightly different information. The release sent out from Northern Arizona Athletics stated Wednesday's season opener would not happen due to "an isolated COVID-19 incident within the Lumberjack men’s basketball program." Northern Arizona has been mum on releasing specific COVID-19 case numbers. The release sent out by the Arizona Athletic Department specifically stated the game was postponed due to "a positive COVID-19 case within the NAU men's basketball program as well as ensuing contact tracing and mitigation protocols."
