The Iowa women’s basketball team’s game at Ohio State on Saturday has been postponed because of positive COVID-19 tests within the Ohio State program. The decision was announced Tuesday.

The Ohio State Department of Athletics and its sports medicine staff, along with consultation from the Big Ten Conference, made the decision to postpone the game.

Both Iowa and Ohio State will work together with the Big Ten to determine possible rescheduling options later in the season.

Iowa will return to the court on Dec. 22 when it plays Western Illinois at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The game starts at 1 p.m. and will be streamed on BTN+.

Iowa is 4-1 (1-1) in the 2020-21 season.
