The coronavirus pandemic strikes college sports again, as it has forced the postponement of Stanford’s scheduled men’s basketball game against Southern California.

USC announced in a statement that a confirmed case of COVID-19 has prompted the Trojans men’s basketball program to pause its team activities. This action forced USC to postpone its home game at Galen Center against Stanford less than three hours before tipoff.

The decision was made under the Pac-12’s basketball policy. The Trojans did not have the minimum number of scholarship student-athletes available for the game due to COVID-19 protocol.

The statement added that the Pac-12 Conference will work with both schools to find a date to reschedule the contest.
