IOWA CITY, Iowa — The women’s basketball game between the University of Iowa and Ohio State University, scheduled for Saturday at 11 a.m. (CT) in Columbus, Ohio, has been postponed by Ohio State due to an increase of positive coronavirus tests within the program.

The decision to pause and postpone was made jointly by the Ohio State Department of Athletics and its sports medicine staff in consultation with the Big Ten Conference.

Both institutions will work with the Conference office to identify potential rescheduling options later this season.

The Hawkeyes will return to action on Tuesday as they host Western Illinois inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Tipoff is set for 2 p.m. (CT) and will be streamed on BTN+.
