Just minutes before USC was set to tip off against Stanford in a crucial Pac-12 contest in Santa Cruz on Thursday, a suspected case of coronavirus within the men’s basketball program forced USC to postpone the game.
USC had just got around to rescheduling its first matchup with Stanford, which was also postponed in December because of COVID-19 issues within the program. That game is slated for Feb. 2.
This could lead the Trojans into another prolonged pause on account of the coronavirus. USC is scheduled to play at California on Saturday and has games scheduled for next week at home against Oregon State and Oregon.
