As Southern California continues to experience historic wildfires, there has been a significant impact on sporting events in the region. Due to the wildfires, several high-profile sporting events in the region have been either moved or postponed. USC basketball is no exception to this. The Northwestern women’s basketball team recently announced that, due to the ongoing wildfires, it will not travel out to Los Angeles this week for its scheduled matchups with USC and UCLA. Hence, the matchup between the Trojans and the Wildcats—which had been scheduled for Wednesday night at Galen Center—will be postponed to a later date.
As of now, Sunday both evening’s women’s basketball game against Penn State and Tuesday night’s men’s game against Iowa are going to go on as scheduled. Obviously, however, that is subject to change at a moment’s notice, as things can change rapidly in the current landscape.
Both the USC men’s and women’s basketball teams are coming off of huge ranked victories on the road. The men stunned No. 13 Illinois 82-72 in Champaign Saturday, while the women held off No. 8 Maryland 79-74 in College Park on Wednesday.
Whenever the Trojans teams do return home to Galen Center, they should both receive a strong reception from the Galen Center crowd.
