No. 6 Maryland women’s basketball’s Dec. 30 road game against the Illinois Fighting Illini has been postponed because of positive COVID-19 results within the Illinois program, per a release.
Under the current policy, the game would have been counted as a forfeit loss for Illinois and a conference victory for Maryland, but that is unclear as of now.
In a release last week, the Big Ten announced that its forfeiture policy would be reviewed. Conferences such as the Big East have reversed such rules to now reschedule games formerly ruled as forfeits, so it appears the Big Ten could definitely follow suit.
