The positive test among “Tier 1” individuals — involving student-athletes, coaches, managers and staff — was detected during a team test Thursday.
Because of the new positive test, other players, including junior guard Buddy Boeheim, were unable to play against Niagara on Thursday night because of contact tracing.
If the positive test is confirmed, defensive coordinator Keith Patterson will serve as head coach against the Jayhawks.
