Miami (Ohio) announced it postponed Tuesday's men's basketball game against Central Michigan and Wednesday's women's basketball game against Western Michigan.

According to ESPN's Tom VanHaaren, a student was showing mild symptoms of the coronavirus after returning from China. Health officials are conducting an investigation. 

Central Michigan athletic director Michael Alford issued a statement referencing the ongoing situation at Miami:

"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. 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."

Miami has yet to work out when it will make up the two games.
