Due to the student's recent travel, they met the criteria for concern and are being tested for possible infection.
"The health and safety of our student-athletes is always a top priority and, out of abundance of caution, it was decided to cancel tonight's men's basketball game," said Michael Alford, Zyzelewski Family Associate Vice President/Director of Athletics. "I appreciate the diligence that the staff at Miami have shown and this serves as a reminder of how serious these issues are. Our medical team has also been an important part of this process, making sure our student-athletes are safe and protected."
A makeup date has not yet been determined but the game will be rescheduled.
Meanwhile, the Western Michigan women's basketball game at Miami (Ohio), scheduled for Wednesday at 7 p.m. has also been postponed. The contest will be made up at a later date, to be determined.
