The UNLV men’s basketball team’s game against Dayton was canceled Wednesday after there was an active shooter on UNLV’s campus.

“Due to the tragic events unfolding on UNLV’s campus, tonight’s men’s basketball contest between UNLV and the University of Dayton will not be played,” a statement posted on the Dayton men’s basketball X account said.

The Rebels (3-3) were supposed to play the Flyers (6-2) at the University of Dayton Arena at 6 p.m. Wednesday in Dayton, Ohio. Further information, such as potential rescheduling, was not immediately available.

“We ask that our fans keep the UNLV community in their thoughts and prayers,” the Dayton men’s basketball X account said.
