Rhode Island's game against Milwaukee scheduled for Thursday has been canceled because of a COVID-19 outbreak within the Rams' program, the school announced Monday. The game will not be rescheduled this season. It's believed to be the first Division I men's college basketball game canceled or postponed because of COVID-19 in the 2022-23 season. Multiple Rhode Island players and staff members tested positive for COVID-19, according to the school, but they anticipate being able to play their Atlantic 10 opener against Duquesne on New Year's Eve. It was expected to be a battle of first-year head coaches, as Archie Miller is off to a 4-8 start at Rhode Island while Bart Lundy is 8-4 at Milwaukee and has won six of his past seven games.
