Wisconsin’s fast start to Big Ten play hit an interruption over the weekend, as the Badgers and Penn State jointly announced that their Sunday game scheduled to be played at Penn State will be postponed. Both schools termed the decision as a mutual agreement due to “health and safety” concerns.” The schools are expected to work with the Big Ten on options for rescheduling the game.
The No. 6 Badgers are off to a 3-1 start in league play and tied for second in the league standings behind Michigan, which was the only team still unbeaten in Big Ten play entering Sunday’s action. Penn State, meanwhile, will get a bit more time to regroup due to the postponement after the Nittany Lions fell to 0-3 in conference play with an 87-85 overtime loss at Indiana on Wednesday.
ACC games scheduled for Saturday between Duke and Florida State and Virginia and Virginia Tech were were among the other prominent games postponed this weekend, while another ACC matchup was tweaked. With Syracuse’s program on pause due to COVID-19 protocols, North Carolina received a visit from Notre Dame instead of the Orange. The Tar Heels squeaked out a 66-65 win over the Fighting Irish in the quickly assembled game. Those are among the latest — but not the first, and certainly not the last — postponements or cancelations this season that are COVID-induced. Here are some of the others.
