Creighton-Providence game Tuesday canceled due to COVID-19

The Providence Friars men's basketball team is currently 14-2 and ranked No. 23 in the nation. The Friars are going to have to wait at least four more days to try to secure their 15th win of the season though.

The Friars' next contest is scheduled on Saturday against the University of Connecticut. The Creighton Blue Jays are slated to play on Saturday against the Xavier Musketeers.

Providence is a perfect 10-0 at home, has a 3-1 record on the road and is 1-1 in neutral settings. The Friars began their season 5-0 before falling to the University of Virginia on Nov. 23.

Ed Cooley's team then won eight in a row before losing to Marquette on Jan. 4. The team bounced back with an 83-73 win over St. John's on Jan. 8.
