Villanova coach Jay Wright tested positive for COVID-19, and the program is pausing all team activities, the school announced Sunday.

Villanova said Wright experienced mild symptoms and is in isolation. The university said one other staff member tested positive.



“Our players have been very diligent and disciplined with all of the COVID protocols,” Wright said in a statement. “Unfortunately, we have had two staff members test positive. I am one of them. My symptoms are mild, and we remain connected as a team and staff by phone and Zoom.”

The Wildcats (8-1) have won six consecutive games.
