The Arizona Wildcats are officially 0-for-LA.
USC's women's basketball program has postponed Friday's scheduled game against the UA because of COVID-19 issues within the Trojans' program, the schools announced Monday. UA and USCย "will work with the Pac-12 to reschedule the game on a mutually agreed upon date," according to a statement.
Monday's news was widely expected. The fourth-ranked Wildcats' Sunday game at UCLA had already been postponed because of the Bruins' own COVID-19 troubles.
Ranked No. 4 in the nation and riding a 10-0 start, the Wildcats last played Dec. 17 at NAU. The following day, Arizona backed out of a scheduled game against Texas in Las Vegas because of the Wildcats' COVID-19 protocols.
Arizona won't play again until Jan. 7 against Washington State, barring an unlikely schedule shift.
COVID-19 precautions have wreaked havoc with sports this month, and few programs are feeling it as much as the UA. The ninth-ranked Wildcats men's basketball team also had to scrap this week's scheduled trip to Los Angeles because of COVID-19 issues with USC and UCLA.
And Monday night, the Barstool Sports Arizona Bowl was canceled after organizers failed to find a team to replace Boise State, which backed out of Friday's game because of COVID-19 issues.ย
